Pitching example in Powerpoint

Re: Pitching example in Powerpoint

im really glad to see theres alot of people with this problem(sorry to say) but im pretty sure it's a bug. To fix it you can either turn off precision pitching and then turn it back on...or just repeat your first motion twice(it takes practice) I think it's a huge bug and can't believe it got by 2k

does turning it off/on have to be done once a batter? inning? game?

Im a re-re, bc i cannot get it. The fastball i get, everything else though im bad...its like Street Fighter...i couldnt throw the fireball from the left side (1P), only from the right side (2P)

I am glad some of you are being helped by this. Its very simple but apparently there are some simple folks like me who just didn't get the idea easily.

Thanks for the thanks... made my 5 mins of effort to help worthwhile.

Re: Pitching example in Powerpoint

OK, now with runners on base how come you cannot control the effectiveness of the pitch? Like if i throw a fastball it does not show the back motion on the jester. Every pitch get maxed out.

What are you saying is happening?? I'm not sure I am seeing this??

It doesnt recognize your first gesture so every pitch gets maxed out. If you want to see a clear example take the brewers and put Turnbow in right away. If you haven't seen it yet i promise you will sooner or later and it will ruin the game for you.

I haven't seen it yet and I have pitched from the stretch but maybe I just didn't notice it. I know you guys aren't lying about it.

That really sux though. I don't get how 2k couldn't see this????

It's not your fault. Something like what you've done here should have been in the tutorial in the first place. Some people think it is enough to just have a tutorial, but it isn't a good tutorial, and as we're seeing from those of us trying to help people with this concept, all it takes is something like you've done to make it clear.

It's an easy process, but not a clear process. You've helped make it clear. Well done!

Re: Pitching example in Powerpoint

I still dont understand. I'm missing pitches and have no clue why

OK, let's try to figure out why. What results are you getting? Are you trying this in the tutorial, and if so, let me know the numbers that pop up for effectiveness, gesture, and release. Really, what I want to know most is the release number, because that seems to be the part everyone has the most trouble with, simply because when you begin it can feel deceptive on why you got that number.

Re: Pitching example in Powerpoint

Ok so for good effectiveness you start the second motion as soon as you hit the middle circle?

That might explain some of my problems....I was starting it after the middle circle. Was wondering why I kept getting 60% effectiveness despite holding the first motion for a while?

Re: Pitching example in Powerpoint

It's going to depend on the pitcher and whether he is in the windup or the stretch. The closer it gets to the very outside circle, the higher the effectiveness is, but it makes it a lot tougher to hit your release point.

If I am out of the stretch, I like to actually begin my second gesture right at that first circle, as he shows in this powerpoint, knowing that it will take some amount of time to get the second motion all the way done, and by the time that happens, I'll be in a good position for the release.

BTW, you say that you're getting low effectiveness scores. Are your release scores good? I would actually try to get the release score really good consistently first, and then you can try to push the edge more and more to get a good effectiveness score. Release is still the biggest factor, imo.

Re: Pitching example in Powerpoint

My release is good, in the tutorial i would get 90-100% consistently.

I think I found my problem, it's gesture......I'm getting a lot of 50-60%'s on breaking pitches. Too bad, I was pitching well against the White Sox, only 3 runs in 6 innings, then I just started to completely implode and I quit when I hit 10 runs given up.

This pitching system is fun and innovative, but it's REALLY pissing me off and frustrating me. Have to get the gestures down I guess.

Re: Pitching example in Powerpoint

If someone knows how to make this into falsh or something simpler, feel free to.

This is a very simple explanation of how to pitch in MLB2K in simple Powerpoint graphics.
Took me about 5 minutes to make so use it if you like. It might help those who are struggling to figure out when to push each direction and when to release the stick.

Just trying to help those who need it.

thanks man, great job.
