Pitch meter speed

Are you sure ? I always thought it was something stat related.

Wouldn't say I'm 100% sure, but I remember in previous games great pitchers like Cliff Lee would be unusable for me because they were just blindingly fast out of the stretch.

One thing that bugs me is even with the elite guys, I can get perfect release on a curveball in the dirt and he will miss it high and hang it right in the lower center quadrant of the zone, resulting in an easy home run. Even with 87+ rated pitchers...tried to play with the consistency slider will have to continue my experiements.

Elite pitchers do that in real life though? They just do it less often than non-Elite pitchers.

Alot of that has to do with the pitchers individual control attribute. Taijuan Walker has an overall rating of 85 but his control is 57. Last year I used to used Paxton who was rated in the 70's but his control attribute was horrible. When throwing his curveball I didn't even bother aiming it and it never hit the same place twice. I threw a perfect game with him. I don't think there is a slider adjustment that will affect a pitchers individual control attribute.

Very true, I just find the pitch variance a little too much. I play on Legend so if I miss a spot it's usually extra bases or 4...when I call for an 0-2 curve in the dirt I expect my pitcher to not miss right over the middle of the plate. To be fair with my crap relievers it's realistic but with the elite guys like Kershaw who should not miss a high fastball right in the middle of plate, ever. Atleast not when you do "perfect release" via meter.

Watch one of Kershaw's appearances from start to finish and count how many times he shouts at himself immediately following a pitch.
