    Question about directional icons when pitching

    On the control pitching interface, I noticed arrows pointing towards a direction, and one that is neutral. What does this mean? Is this some type of way to guess what type of pitch the cpu will throw?? and if so how do I go about guessing the pitch type??

      I have no idea what you mean.

      Are you on offense or the mound?

        ....I had that same feeling.
        If he's referring to when he's pitching...the arrows are there to show you which way the pitch will "break".
        People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.

          "You are correct, sir." The neutral is usually on the fastball, and the other arrows give you an idea of where to aim when pitching using the breakpoint method.

            Damn, I'm still confused, though.

            Peter, you mentioned the user pitching interface and the user guess pitch feature all in one description.

            I'm not sure how even the above answer solves 100% of the question. What are you trying to guess?

              Sorry guys this is what I meant. Look at the arrows. Is this to indicate where the pitch will break?

                Yep...like someone posted earlier it just gives you an idea of how the pitch will break so you can aim better.

                  Yes sir..like was mentioned earlier,it also helps with aiming,and where you want to start your pitch. As this shows the "breakpoint" of the pitch....now remember...how much break you get will be determined on how much effort you put into the pitch.
