Guess Pitch - do you use it?

[Alistair]

A simple poll to get an idea of how many people 'Guess Pitch' and how many don't.

Oh yes, helps me break down the opposing pitcher. As I am a pitcher in real life, so I'm pretty good at it..

Nope.

All aids off - just my gaming preference.

No - in all modes

Re: Guess Pitch - do you use it?

I set it with "NO FEEDBACK" !!!
It's the only way to use it in my opinion.

Else is cheating. Or you'd better turn it off.

Re: Guess Pitch - do you use it?

I used to use it and this year turned it off and see a huge variety in hits now. Seeing bloopers, gappers, choppers, all things I hadnt seen with guess pitch on.

Re: Guess Pitch - do you use it?

I used to use it and it helped me out.

But then I wanted to sit on a pitch in my mind. Not against the option, because it does helpweak/struggling hitters.

Well technically the most realistic would be to turn it on with no feedback. Hitters lock on to certain pitches depending on the count all of the time and it absolutely benefits them if they guess right. Having the markers pop up on the screen is unrealistic but the actual locking onto a certain pitch is not.

but even with no feedback, dont you get some indicator telling you pre pitch if you guessed right on the pitch type?

Nope...No Feedback is No Feedback...you still get the power/contact bonuses, but there is no visual or audio clue.


I use it only when I'm ahead in the count. I know some people consider it 'cheating', but I look at it this way: it adds to MY enjoyment of the game so I use it...isn't that the whole idea?

Anyways, I use it for two reasons:

1) Obviously it allows me to sit on certain pitches in certain locations and to get rewarded for being right.

2) It really helps me draw walks. On 3-1 or 3-0 counts, when I guess right I can see if the pitch is out of the zone and lay off for the BB. Otherwise I have a terrible habit of chasing bad pitches.

Re: Guess Pitch - do you use it?

I used to use guess pitch in earlier versions but I personally get better hit variety without it.

Re: Guess Pitch - do you use it?

I don't use it. Not using it makes the game feel more natural to me - more realistic.
