Pitching

[writerdude]

Hey all...here's a total noob question:

What the heck am I doing wrong? I haven't had a baseball game in years, but have played MLB against my buddy here and there. Not an expert at it, but picked up this year's.

I'm the Blue Jays and in my first pre-season game I started R.A. Dickey, then went to Dustin McGowan, then Esmil Rogers and Aaron Loup. I made it to the fifth inning and had 14 WALKS!!! I'm keeping my aims in the strike zone, but the pitches so often end up nowhere near where I'm aiming. Even taking into account where the pitch is supposed to move, it hardly ever did what it was supposed to.

Is it just because my pitchers suck? This was crazy overkill. No pitcher was hitting the strike zone and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Help please?

What type of pitching mechanic you using?

[writerdude]

Just the default. Not analog.

Lol, default means nothing to me, meter or pulse?

[writerdude]

I'm using Pulse.

The goal with pulse is to time it when it is at its smallest point. That will yield the most accurate pitches. Starting off with a knuckle ball pitcher does not help, because that is a tough one to control. What difficulty you on?

Ah. I'm on a difficult setting, because I refuse to do beginner. So that maybe made it harder too. Damn R.A. OK, I'll give 'er another whirl and see if I'm any better....Thanks.
