Small sample size but I might roll with that for a couple games and see what happens.
    Nice. Let us know how it goes. We tried HOF but not with V2.1 yet. When we tried we didn't see much difference. But maybe now it will be better. Let us know.

      Well as usual my curiosity got the better of me, I decided to give classic another try and was quickly reminded why I don't use it....lol

      Playing against the Cubs (I know...again?) first 2 batters I give up back to back jacks, eventually load up the bases with back to back walks, then give up a double....then I shut it off...lmao

      I was at 45 pitches and STILL not out of the 1st inning, classic is just not for me..lol Those that use it and enjoy it more power to ya, I guess I'm just getting to old to adapt to anything else..lol

        You’re just using the interface incorrectly. It’s all about when you release the pitching button and not about a simple tap or holding it too long. Once you figure that out, you’ll never go back to another way of pitching.

          Exactly this. It's a rhythm and feel thing. Takes some practice to get it, but once you do, you'll never go back.

            How am I using the interface incorrectly? I'm well aware of how the mechanic works, it's simply just not for me.

              I’m going to try classic again, so are the sliders on the OP the most recent ? Do u still suggest all star instead of legend?

                Are you using a ball marker at all? For me, I never hold down button until vibration is felt unless by accident. This is max effort and 9 times out of 10 will not go where you want it to. This also will reduce your stamina quicker.

                Most times I hold just before vibration is felt. If down like 3-1 I will tap the button. This is least effort but most likely to give you accuracy. Sometimes I tap anyway so I'm preserving stamina for my SP throughout his outing.

                Most important factor for classic is the pitcher's confidence. You really have to pay close attention to that. Use mound visits properly. Yank a pitcher sooner rather than later. And probably even more important is the confidence inside each pitch individually.

                If you can't locate your slider and the confidence ring is super low you really do not want to throw that. Sorta like real life, you want to work in that pitch through the game. Like a 1-2 favorable count. Throw that slider you can't locate anyway. If they chase it for a K then the confidence of that slider increases, and now you will be able to locate it better the next time.

                And just like real life, you want to get your fastball going first usually. If you have trouble locating that you could be in for a long day. Just practice using these tips. Slow down and really think about what you're about to do. I use API mostly and the catcher does a pretty good job at calling a game for the most part. But sometimes you don't want to throw that 12-6 curve he's calling you can't locate on that 3-2 count.

                  Yes they are most recent. You can give legend a shot if you'd like. Honestly probably won't be much difference. We just prefer Allstar. Legend, while yes it will give them an extra large PCI to maybe make contact more often. In our experience making contact sometimes only means weaker contact in fair territory vs fouling off with a smaller PCI. Some games you will notice a difference, and others it will probably feel similar to Allstar with these sliders. They are going to swing at the same exact pitches regardless of difficulty though.

                  Try legend and let us know how it goes though!

                    The OP is the most recent update. These should work with legend. If not, I would first raise user control and consistency a little if they are too overpowering. Let us know how it goes.

                      I was telling Steve they don't necessarily need more hits, they just need more batted outs. Like 3-4 more batted outs in a game and that would solve the strikeout problem.

                        I think Classic is more like an invisible meter. Just like when you use meter, when you land it in the red you will get more break and speed. Tapping the X is just like stopping the meter at the first part of the yellow. The more you hold the X down you get closer to the red. What is difference with classic is you do not get that 2nd meter (landing?). Like when you use meter, you first hold it down to measure the power and then it comes back and you tap to get the accuracy. The ratings and confidence will determine the accuracy.

                        And then I could be wrong with this comparison too. If someone can correct me, please do. LOL

                          What you’ve described is very close to what classic is. I usually go by my pitchers notion and every pitcher has a different time you should release the button.

                            Our pitching staff could not wait to get out of Colorado. In fact, the pitchers drove the bus to the airport cause the bus driver wasn't going fast enough.

                            But the Cardinals were able to take two out of 3.

                            Game one:

                            STL 4 14 1
                            COL 8 19 0


                            W- German Marquez ( 1 - 2 )
                            L- Steven Matz ( 0 - 1 )
                            S- None

                            STL SP- Matz 1.0 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 5 BB, 0 K, 8.52 ERA
                            COL SP- Marquez 5.2 IP, 10 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 0 K, 5.06 ERA

                            STL HRs- Nootbaar (3)
                            COL HRs- Blackmon (2)

                            PotG- Blackmon 4 for 5 - HR, 2 2B, 2 RBI

                            Notes -

                            Game two:

                            STL 9 15 0
                            COL 5 12 0


                            W- Jordan Montgomery ( 2 - 0 )

                            COL SP- Gomber 4.1 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 3.52 ERA

                            STL HRs- Edman (2) Knizner (1) Walker (1)
                            COL HRs- Bryant 2 (4)

                            PotG- Walker 2 for 4 - HR, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R

                            Notes -

                            Game three:

                            COL 5 12 0


                            W- Miles Mikolas ( 2 - 1 )
                            L- Kyle Freeland ( 0 - 1 )
                            S- Ryan Helsley ( 5 )

                            STL SP- Mikolas 7.0 IP, 9 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 3.92 ERA
                            COL SP- Freeland 3.1 IP, 7 H, 7 ER, 7 BB, 0 K, 9.87 ERA

                            STL HRs- O'Neill (4) Goldschmidt (3) Yepez (2) DeJong (1)

                              Regarding pitch speeds, I use 8 for FB and 9 for off speed…. For me anything lower is super slow…. But having higher speeds sucks when I play DD, way early on everything! Lol
