Just wanted to let you guys know that we are expanding the Pitch speed slider more so that each notch will mean more than it currently does. (Like many of you asked for in another thread) Although ideally we would like to make this more extreme, there is a balance point that we need to be careful with. If we allow the speeds to be too slow or too fast, we jeopardize the balance of the game by making stealing too easy or too difficult. But we were able to open this up more than last year's version without effective the competitive balance of stealing. Hope this helps!

How ridiculous, what does it matter to you if a guy wants to slow down the pitch speed? You play it the way you want, and he plays it the way he wants and everyone is happy, no?

Exactly. I don't understand how expanding the sliders so some of us can slow it down a little more would impact anyone else that wouldn't do this. They can keep the default stuff exactly the same, just give me the tools to fine-tune the game for me. If you don't want to slow it down then don't. It won't affect the game at all for you.

It's a very simple concept and if some of you can't respect the fact that other people have different skill sets then you need to learn how to respect other peoples' opinions and not just your own.

I'm going to ask politely one last time that these comments end right now.

So if we do struggle with pitch speed we should just accept that we shouldn't play this game? Please.

Are you not reading our posts? If you don't slow down the slider how does this force all of you to retune and rebalance the game. It doesn't.

Again another post where all you can understand is your own opinion. This has been argued by many of us who struggle.

Some of us have tried everything. I can get hits but do I want every fastball to be hit to the opposite field? No. Do I want to strike out a ton and never walk? No. Slowing down pitch speed a little more will allow us to pull more balls and still work a few more walks. Again, if you don't have a problem then don't worry about it. I fail to see how this affects you and yet you seem intent on making sure those that struggle with this aspect continue to struggle.

Please actually read my post before you take out your all powerful mod powers of destruction. This isn't a fascist site AFAIK. I was simply proving a point I made. Nowhere did I say you don't deserve anything and you can stuff it. I also listed MLB 12 as my grounds not MLB 11 as Boboooom did. They will be two very different games.
When did I say anything about your argument?

I asked that we stop talking about your argument. This is about pitch speeds being slower because the development team found a way to do it without hurting the development time needed for the rest of the game.

I'd ask: "So what's the point of your argument?" except that I don't want to read the answer because this has already gone on longer than it needs to. Why am I wasting time having to say this?

This is EXACTLY what we don't need in the forums.

Back to the topic.
