Classic pitching. I want ratings to matter. Have pitched on All-Star for years but may move to Hall of Fame in 18.

Meter Legend - I like Pure Analog, but it's too easy, hoping they really did make pitching harder to spot.

HOF classic. Like Philliesfan, I want ratings to matter the most. Like the challenge on HOF the past two games.

I use pure analog pitching without strike zones, hot/cold zones, ball marker, etc. so you have to line up your pitch based on where your holding the left analog stick and the rumble feedback from the controller. I always use one of the views from behind the pitcher (can't recall exactly which one).

I have always used pure analog and love it but had to go to meter last year because pure analog was too easy . This is one of the most important things that I hope they fixed !!! And I will be happy

Classic Pitching, HOF difficulty, no visual aides whatsoever.

Clean Screen and purely ratings driven but....I love the feel and nuances of classic pitching. There is an art to pitching with it. I absolutely love it. It also gives you that true dice roll table top Strato-Matic/Statis Pro feel that even great pitchers can have really bad days. And #5 starters can come up with some gem games.

It's awesome.

I love Pulse. It's like Classic in that you get SOME randomness, but it's not like Classic in that it doesn't disrespect BB/9 and Control (and the control slider) for the sake of increased randomness.

I can actually feel the differences and how I need to place the pitches with regard to my pitchers' command ratings (and how easy/difficult it is to nail a perfect release with that arm). There's a difference between Barraclaugh's 12 control and Shoemaker's far better BB/9 and control ratings.

I try going back to Classic and I just go like WTF why is he missing by 6 feet or throwing 6 pitches in a row down the middle with 80 command?

Pulse...he might just miss or it might leak a bit back over the plate....not all the way on the other side of it...feels more like what I see on TV/Fangraphs with pitchers.
