After playing so many games of 2k8, I am a bit embarrased to have to ask.
I know that the outer grey ring is the "effectiveness" zone and that the second gesture should begin while in this zone. Question is, should I be trying to begin that gesture when right at the beginning of that zone or when it reaches the outer limit?
My thought was the further toward the outside, the more effort/effectiveness you put on the pitch and the more it fatigues the pitcher. My beef with this theory, if true, is that I find in the 5th/6th inning, when my pitcher is fatigued around 40% stamina and his grey area is a thin area on the outer loop, that even if I am in that zone and hit the green circle exactly right, he gets absolutely tattooed!
Now shame on me for leaving him that long, but with max effort and perfect release he shouldn't get lit up. It has happened in like four straight games. So bad I actually quit the game and replayed it cause it got so bad. If I recall right, 2-2 game into top 6th. 2 hits each team. 38% stamina. And an offensive explosion of 13 runs! He had 10 k's in those 5 innings and boom, BP central.
If I am misunderstanding this mechanic please straighten me out. I suppose I will have to begin removing my guys a bit sooner, but it sucks to be in such control to have it disappear like that.
