Anyone play on 10 pitch speed?

[cardinalbird5]

Just wondering if anyone else does. I have been playing with it on at 7-8 for most of the year. I bumped it up to 10 and realized it wasn't that much faster, but it definitely is a challenge. I also have it on Legend hitting.

Anyone else bump the pitch speed to 9 or 10? Which one would be more realistic in terms of time it takes for the ball to get the plate? It feels pretty challenging on 10, but not overly impossible. My one gripe would be for how difficult it is to pull the ball, but that is baseball for you.

I've messed around with it on 10 a few times, it is harder but I can hit with it. You are right about it being hard to pull the ball. You just don't have time to sit and watch a pitch to see what it is gonna do, and I don't know which pitch speed is more realistic.

See, now that's funny, because I only play on max speed, and there's times where I'm ahead of the fastball!!! It's very realistic, because if I'm sitting fastball, and get an offspeed pitch, I look like a fool!

Yeah, I ONLY play 10 speed too, (and I've been quick on a few FB's in my day too lol)... But yeah, I won't go slower.

Yeah I play on 10.

I find it easier to read pitches due to noticing the speed difference more.

I was going to talk about reading pitches in my post. lol.... Sometimes I find it hard to lay off really outside or really high FB's, (especially if I'm sitting on one)... but yeah, breaking balls are insane to read on 10.... just got used to it I guess. Sometimes I'll chase a slider WAYYYYYY outside, and sometimes I'll recognize it early and let it go and have a ball called off the paint. It's weird. (And lucky) lol.

I have the pitch speed turned ALL the way down. Haha.

I used to play at 10 but I only do 7-8 now. The biggest reason for the drop was because I paid dearly for it with online leagues. Most leagues are at default and my timing was way, way off.
