How long do you think it takes an average-ish player to get Pinpoint down?

    Trying to make the switch from analog while grinding conquest. It’s been an adventure the first few games.

    I learned it after about a week of “off and on” kind of practice. You can go into custom practice with a team and practice the different windups and motions. It gets easier with more practice

    I practiced a lot with mediocre command pitchers in the BETA and when 21 actually released I spent a solid week playing conquest and tried using not as good pitchers. Then I went online and it was another learning curve. It's not easy, but if you take your time, practice, and don't give up on it, almost anyone can get it down.

    I glued the controller to my thumbs at night and did a mantra before I sleep.

    Think of that ludacris song...'shots, shots , shots shots"

    well i did,

    "Dots, dots, dots dots"

    All I know is I couldn’t EVER get analog or metre to be this consistent over a much longer training period. Literally years I used analog and never mastered it. I tried PP a couple times and fail miserably, then the third time it all clicked. The initial spin with the analog is really important, it allows you to miss the other inputs and still get perfect so just start with that and try to get it 90-100% and from there it will all come.

    If you were to do nothing but use PPP in practice I don’t think it should take more than two days tbh. If I had done that initially I would have it just gets boring when the game releases and there is so much content.

    I've gotten pretty decent at pinpoint. Sometimes the cutter is weird to me but thankfully the cutter goes high and not across the plate. Just try to mimic the exact motion and speed they show on the wheel. I know that's so obvious for me to say but that's all I can think of for advice.
