    Rare to pitch outside of green accuracy zone

    I've found that I rarely go outside of the green accuracy zone even when I max the effiency zone out. AM I just real good or is this the case for everybody?It's no big deal-turning the pitching aid off challenges your pitching accuracy.

            this great pitching engine seems as tho it can just eventually get timed down to make it very exploitable. I noticed that if you nail your green meter on pitches, the cpu will mostly swing and miss, take the strike or just hit it into an out....but if you miss the green meter, he usually gets a hit....Im wondering about how real or too simplified this system is really starting to become?

                I'm beggining to think that it's more than just hitting anywhere in the green. They should have color coded a yellow area. This should have been the area that isn't dead center in the green. If you slightly miss the CPU will make contact. If you power up the meter to max and slightly miss it's 33/33/33 whether they'll swing, miss or watch. Maybe not those genertic numbers but there's give. I really haven't found the answer to pitching. I'm barely getting 2 K's a game but I've kept the hits down. Plus MVP has thrown a quirk in their game. With runners on the meter is faster than no runner. This makes it hard for me to time my pitches.

                I wish there was more difference in speed, say against different batters or what not. The other thing is I wish there was a great degree of misses. Instead of just missing it a few inches here or there. If you miss you throw a meatball high in the batter's sweet spot.

                    I see your point, what Im saying is that I think the pitching thing or results might be too simplified where it seems like if you just hit the green with your pitches, he will hit it into an out but if you miss hitting the green, the hitter will get a hit. Its not exactly like that, but from the few rental games I just played, it seems like that is the basic jist of the engine.

                    do u think so?

                        I disagree with that completely bro. I dont play the cpu, me and my bro play each other in our respective seasons so we can see each others meters. We both have gotten whack hitting the meter perfectly or slightly missing and I've also seen where we mess up and give the batter the tip off and hit long fly balls out or hit sharply to the infielders for an out:
                        so just cause you messed up on the meter doesnt necessarily mean a hit is gonna be given up+

                            I've certainly seen this -- it's not 100%, but certainly there are more hits from the CPU when I miss the green. But they make contact no matter what.

                            Something else I've found -- I can get more "juice" out of my pitch when I hold the button down beyond the top of the meter. Instead of releasing right when it gets to the top, I hold onto it until it starts going back down (it automatically releases). Makes it tougher to hit the green, but I've managed to get my pitches to 101 MPH by doing this, and only to 96-97 the other way (of course, this is with a blazing pitcher).

                            Of course, even when I manage to split the middle of the green zone at 101 MPH, up and in on the hands, even the opposing pitcher manages to make solid contact... but using this method I did manage to get 4 Ks in a game (playing as the NL All Stars against the hapless Detroit Tigers).
