Pitching too easy?

[acarrero]

Anyone else feel like pitching in this game is too easy? I've become a bit bored with the pitching because my staff is having too good of a year. Just keep the ball down and nobody will hit you. I usually use classic pitching w/no cursor, and have been almost untouchable in legend mode. I even tried K-zone pitching today (for the second time ever) and pitched 6 scorelss innings with Ismael Valdez (Marlins #5 starter) before simulating the rest of the game. The CPU did not have a hit until the 4th, and had 4 hits total in the 6 innings I pitched.

what sliders are you using? i am using bigfnjoe's sliders, and the comp is getting their fair share of hits, walks, and runs off me. i am using classic pitching as well

K_ZONE is......its a great interface...just too easy for me...i have the "interface speed" jacked up to 92...to easy to get a perfect pitch

IF the developers added some pitch variability to KZONE pitching it'd be fantastic.


so now i use EFFORT with PITCH VARIABILITY slider jacked way up..85

Pitching is perfect in this game.

I love using K-Zone with the speed cranked up to 100.

Pitching has never been this fun before.

Default Legend is too easy. Raise AI Contact up from 60 to 70+ and Pitch Variability up from 60 to 85 at least, and maybe even lower AI Take Strike sliders -- they're pretty high. That should solve all your problems. And raise Pitch Speed up from 20 to somewhere above very slow ;-)

I agree pitching can still be a bit easy when it comes to hitting your spot, especially k-zone. I tinkered with P’s individual Accuracy ratings, and most (an average P) should really be in the 20-30 range. The average in this game is maybe 55-65, and those numbers should be really be reserved for the very good P’s, with only the super P’s having their Accuracy ratings in the 75+ range.

I also think that pitching is way too easy if you are using classic and effort. I even have the variability set at 100. Example....2 nights ago Sabathia threw 60 pitches and 52 strikes. I also had similar numbers with Prior. There is absolutely no variability. I was using the effort meter.

Re: Pitching too easy?

Again, Using No Pitching Cursor & No Vibration when using Meter, Effort or Classic will give you the most realistic pitching experience. Not to metion putting your pitching camera @ medium... Pitching Variability should be @ 100...

I'll give it a try Joe. I never use vibration but I have been using the cursor. I'll try it tonight.
