CPU Pitch cursor: Stay away from "Fade" because the CPU will paint corners

About this: I turn the CPU pitch cursor On (had it off but wanted to see what it was like) and I started seeing that circle for release timing show up like it does on Fade.

I was concerned because I don't want that perfect corner painting. I turned it back off, just to be safe. Is that normal for the release timing to show up even at On instead of Fade in the 2010 version?

If you want a realistic number of walks in the game then you really need to play with the CPU pitch cursor OFF.

Anything else and like Spirits says, the CPU will pretty much just throw strikes or paint the corners.

Oh and if it is set to ON or FADE then you will see the shrinking circle in the strike zone, as it's basically a guide for showing you the area to place your bat.

They are similar, and come to think of it the "CPU PITCH CURSOR ON" has not been tested to see if the CPU paints corners. Also, the shrinking circle appears different between the two. If the CPU has a sidearm pitcher the circle will sort of shrink horizontally, it doesn't do that with "FADE".

I'm no expert on either because I find them too distracting and a cheat. If you play baseball like you would in real life you shouldn't need it.

Just a few games so hardly any evidence, but I think it might be the same effect with the cursor on, even if not on Fade.

With it off, I saw a lot more balls that were obvious takes, even without the ! over their heads.

Glad you brought this to light because this is stuff people need to know. I figured most would play it with the cursor OFF but I could be wrong. I'll run a couple test games and post the result.

Does recent performance impact "mood" (the face next to the players)?

I know injury will change it. I'm just curious because Orix is hitting well to start things (lost my last file ) and I was wondering if that's pulling "mood" up.

In my last file, everything went flat at the plate and my whole team got depressed - everyone except Sakaguchi was sad. (Sakaguchi is awesome lol)

It made me wonder if I was seeing a coincidence or if there's some impact here.

I don't think so. To my understanding it's more about physical condition - age, injury status, special skills (some will be in better condition in certain months and some pitchers can boost the condition of all players etc.)

Ah okay - must have been a happy (or unhappy) coincidence.

Sakaguchi is batting over .400 and just dropped to neutral so yeah I guess performance isn't a factor.

Ohbiki is depressed as well while hitting in the .300s (somehow - he fascinates me because his pentagraph is horrible). Must be that "OH BI KI" chant that fires him up

Nice plays.

I know I see so many plays that would not be possible in The Show while at the same time those plays are not always successful either, even without any mistakes but without players taking 10 minutes to get up after a dive.

Sometimes I can't believe I'm playing a game that's 6 years old (PYS 2010).

Is a pitcher "going in the red" somewhat random?

I ask because last game, my pitcher went "in the red" three batters into the game after two singles and a HBP.

Granted, not a wonderful start, but I've knocked the CPU pitchers around for multiple runs in the first inning and they still say out of the red. Sometimes, they are pulled but still no red flashing bar. Yet, my guy drops in after three batters and 0 runs scored?

I checked his skills and he basically has none at all, positive or negative. I know there's some skills that influence it so I checked to see if I missed some.

Any explanation other than it just wasn't his day?

Re: Konami's Making Power Pros 2016 (PS4/PS3/Vita) &amp; Pro Yakyuu Spirits Ace (iOS/Andr

There's no formula to speak of but I'd say the HBP mainly triggered it. That may just rank pretty close to a HR in regards to rattling a pitcher - especially considering multiple hits occurred prior to it.

Any chance you left a position player in to pitch by mistake? As far as turning red far as I know its a combination of pitches thrown and how hard they are getting hit.

Nope, he's a pitcher. He had full stamina going into the game as well.

Condition/mood face was neutral.

Must have just been one of those days. Got whipped 13-2.

Re: Konami's Making Power Pros 2016 (PS4/PS3/Vita) &amp; Pro Yakyuu Spirits Ace (iOS/Andr

Is this game really better than the Pro yakyuu spirits series? I don't know if I should get Pro yakyuu 13 or 14 for the vita TV or this one for the PS4.

I was trying pro yakyuu spirits 10 for the ps2 and then I tried the Power Pros 16 success mode demo and honestly I don't know. The other game looks much more realistic (even ignoring graphics/characters) . The physics and everything feels much more realistic and the animations look top notch but they look meh on Power pros. I might be wrong since I haven't played either one too much and I'm no expert in baseball by any means. What do you think?

And also did Konami stop making the Pro Yakyuu spirits series forever? Any of you know if they ever going to release the game again? Even if it's only for ps3/vita?

Thanks in advance
