Pitch speed advice please

Question for veteran TS heads:
For '15 what pitch speed would closely resemble the default pitch speed for MLB 12? The default setting is very slow to me

Just get frustrated being late all the time. I play on AllStar with A&S sliders. Am 52 years old so doubt going to a higher level is an option. Thanks

I will suggest you try 3. Play 10-12 games so you get a decent sample vs two rotations of different pitchers.

At 3 you will be able to read sliders, breaking stuff and changes better out of the hand and sit on fast balls better. If it is too slow 4 will be your magic number,

But start at 3.

Thanks for your reply A&S. Since posting this thread I started on 4 and now am back to 5. I think I just needed a bitter playing time to get used to the pitch speed. And I noticed that (it seems to me anyway) that different players have different bat speeds. A weaker hitter may be late on a fastball but a power guy can have "good" timing. As a previous poster said, I found off speed stuff to be just too slow with pitch speed lower than 5. With it at 5 I am able to pull the ball sometimes and my contact is normally just a tad early or late - not very often in the "red". This is the first year I used your sliders and they have been great for me (I moved Hum cons. to 3 though). Won't play '16 until your sliders come out. Thanks again
