    pitch speed question

    i recently moved up my pich speed from + 5 to + 25 , at + 5 the pitches were moving tooo slow compared to real life and and batting became a bore due to its lack of difficulty....anyways, my question is, does raising pich speed automatically raises the power due to consequent physics, or is purely cosmetic?? i tried finding the answer to this but nowhere i could find...thanks for the answers...

    p,s- i was playing on all star by the way

    I think the conclusion is that it doesn't effect the physics any. But I could be wrong.

        I disagree. If you lower pitch speed it becomes much harder to hit homer runs. Just like it is hard to hit a change up for a home run. So, it contrast increasing speed should increase power if you make good contact.

            A 70 MPH changeup is going to have the same reaction off the bat at 0 pitch speed, +5 pitch speed, or even -39 pitch speed. It may be "more difficult" to hit a homerun at at different speed compared to the default, but that's solely because of the issue of altering the timing and visual of how fast/slow the pitch is approaching the plate.

                Guys, the pitch is still 70 mph. It's how fast the 70 appears to the user. It will not effect power. 70mph, is 70mph...or 95mph is 95mph and so on.

                One thing you do need to be sure you do, is adjust the steal speed, as the pitch seemingly gets to the batter quicker, the baserunner has less time to cover the ground needed to steal the base.

                    well after 15 games played and hitting 19 homeruns with the phillies, i don't think it affects it...but man raising the pitch speed makes this game even better.....u REALLY have to pay attention to pitches as SOON as they leave pitchers hand, and through this it makes it possible for a player to get completely fooled by an offspeed pitch , at +5 this aspect never kicked in due to "lenient" reaction time....makes the hitting much better and realisitc...i suggest some of you try it

                        Yea, I have mine at +18. It's really the best way to go. I couldn't imagine playing at default.
