If I went up against someone spamming KB after KB I agree I would say their cheese also. And would quickly figure them out. But if dude is mixin the FB in also peppering the paint and corners then I’d give them props. It’s only a matter of time to figure one’s pattern and frequency but for a solid inning I’ll continue “exploiting” till SDS figures something out I guess
Feirabend is a 49 OVR...
I don’t care how good you are at pitching, no pitcher rated that low should be that effective. Put another common pitcher on the mound and see how he does, I’m sure it won’t even be CLOSE. I wonder why that would be the case? Maybe because he has a broken pitch exclusive to only him

How is it less cheesy if you “mix in” a fastball?
Personally, I think it is less cheesy if you just spam the knuckleball. At least then you’re owning it. Use the knuckleball pitcher if you want, but don’t try to legitimize it. Everyone knows it’s an exploit.

the dude threw non stop KNUCKLE - so annoying - i couldn't touch it ......
my timing is great the ball just flies around blind
its all good 95% of my games didn't have these kinds of players thankfully . most of you guys are great sports and good sportsmanship

Well at least you're willing to admit you need to exploit

Turn off zone hitting and use directional. That knuckleball [censored] get crushed then

@skepple15 if some is spamming KB every pitch then yeah their cheesing, if I’m using my whole pitch inventory and am EFFECTIVE then theres a skill gap. All the hate for Knucklers since the Dickey days of 13 continues haha
I completely disagree with this. It is actually opposite. IRL KB pitchers dont throw any other pitch. very seldom will they sneak in a FB or another pitch. The reason you are mixing other pitches in is so your opponent cannot time the KB, because you know it will get crushed. That is even more cheesy.
-
I actually miss having proper knuckleballers in the game. But I understand why they're not.
A good way to balance them out would be to determine the amount of movement on how good the input was. So if you miss your input you won't get that much wobbling.

He was the first card I pulled out of my free packs ....lma0

So much cheese. Please though, bring in feirabend then rage quit when I hit one to the moon off of you.

Here's the thing.
Neither Wright nor Feirabend are in the major leagues anymore. Wright is out of baseball completely and Feirabend is playing in Asia now. No reason whatsoever for either one to even be in the game.
-
The only cheese I see in this discussion are the casuals complaining they can't hit a certain pitch so it has to be broken, this is a classic sign of a noob, someone that can't figure something out so it has to be wrong.
-
It's really lame to use that card. It's basically saying: "Point is a [trash can], if used properly, can be EFFECTIVE don’t matter if [cheating] is common or not. End of story."
Good for you!

@skepple15 theres no exploit w a KB pitcher. I myself would love to go up against one. But I also know how to pitch with one. I can throw your timing off for a solid 3-5 batters till you’ve adjusted. Ain’t like I’m using him the whole game, now that would be cheesing and dumb. To call me an exploit player when I’ve been playing the game just as long as you is disrespectful. My post is not a flaunt, you got scrubs announcing they pull Trout then go <.500. you go INTO their post calling them cheesy and an exploit?
A common pitcher being able to be that effective is an exploit, sorry. Like I said, most of us here don't exploit to win but we're actually good at the game...
LOLThis guy immediately when i bought this card and is actively using him...

Feierabend is cancer in this game. Have a rating of 930 and faced him on legend against another WS player. Total joke that WS players are using this card
