Pitcher Consistency & Control

[Mattp2112]

Quick question, I understand the control but what exactly does the consistency slider do? How do they both interact together?

It’s honestly pretty confusing. But control is exactly that, how much control your pitcher has of his pitches.

Consistency is how reliable his control is...so when you do miss your spot the consistency slider basically determines how bad you miss. Lowering consistency will result it bigger misses, more hit batters, more wild pitches. Opposed to if you raise consistency you’ll miss smaller, hit less batters etc..

Best way to learn what a slider does is set it to 0 and play a game. You'll see what it does after a few innings or less. With that consistency slider specifically you will see what it does after a few at bats.

Here's my understanding. Control is the PAR size. When you/CPU executes the pitch, the size of the range where the pitch will end up relative to where you aimed. With really high control, it'll be pinpoint, dead on. With lower control, there's more randomness.

Consistency is how far off your misses are. The lower the consistency, the more you'll see pitches miss big, including wild pitches, hbp, and hanging breaking balls.

If you follow real-life baseball, the MLBTS terms are a little confusing.

Consistency is what we would normally refer to in real life as control. Can you hit the strike zone or are the pre-glasses version of Ricky Vaughn from Major League where he's flinging pitches to the backstop repeatedly?

The setting referred to in game as control is actually more analogous to command. Not just throwing strikes, but also throwing quality strikes....

So if I am just wanting to throw more balls, and raise my pitch count to match what the AI usually is, I need to drop the control slider a couple of points, correct? By doing this, will it make it easier to get crushed? Because I don't necessarily want that to happen. I just want my pitch count to be higher. With control at default it seems like I'll hit the 4th inning and only have 30 pitches thrown.

Does anyone know what control does in CLASSIC pitching mode?

Does anyone know if consistency also affects game by game? Pitcher has good outing followed by 2 bad outings if low consistency?
