I don't like him. The ONLY thing that makes him good is his knuckleball. He has 3 pitching options but the 2 seam and fastball are bad.

Re: RA Dickey
That's actually being generous. His fastball/sinker have been in the 80-82mph range this season. He's also thrown the knuckleball almost 90% of the time so it's realistic to just throw that every time.Fan of....

Re: RA Dickey
I like Dickey, but when he first got drafted he got screened and found out he had no UCL so they dropped him. He worked on his Knuckle Ball because he couldn't pitch his Fastball as good as anyone else and it helped him get back into the majors. He shouldn't even be able to throw any pitch without a UCL, let alone a Knuckler. He's awesome.
He had a rough career being a Knuckleballer, like Tim Wakefield. No one in the majors took Knuckleballers seriously because the pitch was so unpredictable.
And Dickey is rocking it right now against Detroit!Last edited by Lee085; 07-01-2013, 01:49 PM.Comment

Re: RA Dickey
Dickey is good to use, if you're playing as the Blue Jays. Use the knuckleball and get 2 strikes on a hitter, then throw the other pitches out of the zone and try to get the hitter to chase. I enjoyed the one time I used him, because I could easily get 2 strikes on the hitter. It took me an inning to figure out how to pitch with him though.Comment

Re: RA Dickey
Don't own 2k13 but I own 2k12 and the thing I don't like about pitchers like Dickey is that Dickey only got one knuckler. In reality he has more or less two knucklers. A slower one in the mid 60s and a faster one in the mid 70s. It would be nice to have this options ingame, but they don't allow us to assign the same pitch two times.Comment

Re: RA Dickey
They have a knuckle curve and a knuckler. If you want a faster and slower knuckle, choosing both would be the way to go.Don't own 2k13 but I own 2k12 and the thing I don't like about pitchers like Dickey is that Dickey only got one knuckler.
