Pulse pitching

[OhioCub]

If I aim for when the circle is fully expanded its usually shrunk to its smallest size by the time I hit the button.

Thats the approach I took and it worked for me as well


Only other advice I can give is that if you lose your timing don't be affraid to step off and try again.

Then why not use classic

I've tried using Pulse a couple of times, but I really can't make it past one or two batters. It gives me a headache.

Has anyone run into accuracy problems with pulse pitching? I can't seem to throw a ball. No matter how big or small the pulse is, the pitch goes EXACTLY where I want it to go. The settings are identical to what I used in 15. Any help would be appreciated.

So your pro tip is to just spray and pray. Cool.

Further proof that pulse needs love.

Pulse is way too accurate. Even with human sliders at 0 you can throw strikes a solid 90% of the time if you try. When you miss - almost guaranteed the pitch will go right down the middle. Doesn't matter what pitch or where you are aiming it. It doesn't matter your confidence in the pitch (the little ring around the pitch) or your overall confidence. To add to that absolutely terrible "feature" of pulse pitching, when said pitch misses and goes right down the middle, the batter turns into Barry Bonds. Barry after he just did a full month's cycle of PED's 10 minutes before his at bat. Stand up double at least.

That is interesting to hear because I have not tried pulse this year but in the past I found I would walk and throw a lot more balls on pulse pitching then I would on meter or analog. That and being able to watch the pitchers motion where the 2 things I liked about pulse but I didn't like that you cant control speed or break with pulse. So either this is not really true or pulse has gotten much worse then in the past.
