I use classic pitching on HOF for the reasons armor stated. Also pulse drives my ocd crazy, can never decide which pulse to stop on to throw the pitch lol

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.

I use pulse as well for the same reason.

Good ol’ classic for me. I just like to let the ratings do it’s work and admire the pitcher instead of concentrating on timing. Just pitch away! Used to do meter but once I went to classic, never went back. Tried pulse but ya not for me.

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.

What armor said (adding in the highly critical 'tweak' of turning off vibration....forces you along with the no visual aids to aim the pitch entirely by feel).

I use meter on dynamic. I'm up to HOF level pretty consistently, but occasionally drop down if I give up a couple bombs if I miss with a fastball

I've been thinking about this and after experimenting and such...I think this is either...

-inherent to the game (i.e. like Variable Stuff in the MVP series)...because sometimes...regardless of interface...I can just tell my guy is not on. Like my 94 K/9 pitcher getting a lot of contact on him, etc. Meanwhile, Eflin and his 50's K/9 is getting a high SwStr% and lots of chases.

-A function of sliders allowing for varied results and/or sensitivity to hot/cold/variable stuff/quirks factors.

I really wonder how much interface plays into the good day/bad day dynamic, honestly.

Classic - HOF
I make sure setting are where I need to be selective and pitch to corners and I never give in.
If I walk 'em I walk 'em

RTTS= Meter
