Regarding Pitching

[fistofrage]

Do pitchers miss the locations as they become tired? Are there scenarios where your pitcher just can't find the strike zone?

IE the Tigers Bullpen in real life in 2008. It was common place for them to walk the lead-off batter even when trying to groove strikes in real life. Or putting a pitcher in a bases loaded situation and he just never gets the ball over the plate?

I guess what I'm really asking is the walk ratio realistic?

nobody knows we havent played the game but they have said that pitching is more realistic, and walks will be more of a common thing, but on most videos there is alot of swinging going on, could just be the person playing

Re: Regarding Pitching

Something that has me concerned in most of the videos is the release of the ball from the hand of the pitchers....The pitches dont seem to roll of the pitchers fingertips...its almost as if all the balls release from the chest of the pitcher regardless of how wide of an arm arc release they have. Its almost as if the windup animation and the actual release of the ball arent completely in sync.....does this make any sense to what you all are seeing too?

Exactly. Those two animation frames don't line up. The Show 08 has the same problem, and you can clearly see it if you go into replay and move frame by frame.

I agree, there is ALOT of swinging! This is the only thing that I've noticed that has me a little concerned.
