    I know its a video game

    but what is the actual top speed anyone can pitch with a sinker? 100mph?

    I think 4 seamers should be 102mph as that makes sense, but sinkers?

    Thanks bro. Both seem to be relief pitchers.

    Maybe SDS could nerf it slightly, any SP a sinker cant be over 97 but relief pitching is max 100mph or something.

    it should just be harder to throw a sinker high and in so accurately

    I still play RS but I agree that it becomes wearing. I've been playing a lot more BR because both teams have a chance to actually hit.

    EA wouldn’t give you nothing for free. Absolutely nothing. No free packs. No nothing.

    The grass is not greener.

    EA are horrid.

    Facts bro some people don’t know how good they have it right now with SDS . don’t get me wrong they aren’t perfect and have made mistakes but if you except anything better from a EA or 2k/Take 2 ..Um Don’t.

    AS would be the best difficulty in the game if they could solve the endless foul ball issues.

    It's already better with the contact swing nerf but now they need to complete the cycle and find a way to reduce foul ball success rates.

    I agree high inside 4 seam or sinker is tough to hit. But it can be done and they will stop doing it if you can be good or early on them.

    Not if you're sitting on the High-Inside 4 Seamer which is what I've been doing all year. I find I'm better at moving my PCI down vs. up. It's helped a little bit.

    But the sinker, I probably haven't hit one well in over a month. I made it to the 700's and then basically gave up on ranked. It's pretty much facing Cabrera every single game. I started playing events and BR.

    The problem is that the pitch itself is screwed up. A high sinker should flatten out and have very little to no break. The physics of it are wrong.

    I find I often guess right on pitches -- usually high FB in the zone -- but don't commit and sell out. I still try to "read" or "confirm," and then it's too late. I think if I sell out more, I'll do better.

    I just don't like to play like that...

    can someone explain how do you play this on HOF with edward cabrera and all these ridiculous pitch speed sinkers... i basicly expect it and still cant catch up?? like this is a commom issues everybody spam 97+ sinkers and it sets up all other pitches and you are screwed for the game ... like nobody wants to use somebody that throws a 4 seam unless they throw 99..

    this whole pitchers with unbelievable movement and velocity with the command of greg maddux makes this game unplayable at HOF .. cant even imagine legend ... everybody faces the same unhittable pitcher which sucks the fun out of the game

    SDS .. EA sports will get this [censored] right next year and they coming for ya .. we are tired of this sinkers ruinning the [censored] game .. edward cabrera shouldnt be a endgame pitcher 2 weeks in!!

    The whole game is no fun playing garbage players that spam inside fastballs that are impossible to hit. If you can’t work your pitches you should be punished on any level. It’s absolute trash that inside pitches are so hard to hit when they spam it over abs over. In real life you would get sent back down to the minors if you pitches like that

    I noticed this in the event. I know we are using common pitchers so of course I hit better, but I’m still pitching at least decently because I know how to work pitches.

    In ranked games all you have are high sinkers repeatedly that are impossible to hit.

    Bro I strike out 12-17 a game and consistently lose to broken bat morons and 102 spammers
