Classic pitching vs meter

[COMMISSIONERHBK9]

hey guys this topic hasn’t been talk about in years. I see it was last talk about 2012. I use meter pitching for pitching but a friend said classic is more realistic. Does anyone here use classic? And if so what do you like about it?

Re: Classic pitching vs meter

I use classic and love it. Player ratings matter. All I can do is call the pitch and location. I can't control if he can actually hit that location.

I use classic pitching. I havnt the reaction for meter pitching. Its relaxing gaming

Re: Classic pitching vs meter

I use it as well.
It relies more on player attributes instead of my ability.
I also let the catcher call the pitch and location.

I too, prefer classic in my franchise. That makes it more realistic IMO. Really good pitchers pitch better than me controlling them. And really bad pitchers pitch worse than me controlling them.

Re: Classic pitching vs meter

So a lot of people i see here play with classic. I use meter my whole life lol so i got to get use to a new interface. My pitching is on hall of fame and my hitting is on all star. For some reason i was always a better pitcher lol then hitter

Yeah, me too. I usually have pitching one step higher than batting. Currently all star/hof Luke you said. Usually a couple of months in I end up bumping to Hof/hof. So long as I’m playing consistently.

Preface this by saying that its your franchise you play how you want ? But playing franchise with Classic/Timed is the only way to maximise ratings affecting the game. Actually Manage Only is the best way but i digress

Classic Pitching rules.....been playing this way since MLB 2009. I started on meter on 09....discovered classic....never looked back.

Same here brother. I have always pitched at least two skills levels above my hitting. I just can’t lay off the low breaking balls to save my life.

I personally use meter because I want my skill to have an effect on outcome as well, but with one caveat. I do have a rule that every single pitch has to be max effort thus making it hard to locate. On the bright side I also get realistic inning totals because my starters are almost burnt by the 6th

That really is the great thing about this game. They haven’t abandoned any hitting/pitching interface. Same with camera views. Everyone can tailor it to their preferences.

Re: Classic pitching vs meter

I actually like both and occassionally will switch back and forth between them during the season depening on what I feel like. I normally prefer meter, I like having some user input and I find Meter gives me the best balance so far between user input and player ratings.

Re: Classic pitching vs meter

Directional hitting (allstar)/Meter pitching (HOF).

As a couple of others have already mentioned, I prefer my skill to have an impact in pitching. If you've got great reaction time, it's definitely easier to dominate, but as I get older, and my reaction time decreases a bit, it's become a much more fun challenge.

I'll also second the clean screen comment by Knight (Aside from the meter, obviously). When hitting and pitching, playing without the strike zone, feedback, etc. really makes for a much more enjoyable game. The chase for the whole "perfect/perfect" feedback when hitting, and expecting every one to be a 600 ft. bomb to center field is hilarious (that's not how baseball works!), and must be incredibly frustrating for those who still use it.
