Do a lot of people use pinpoint pitch control?

no i use meter ... i like how i can control how hard the pitch is thrown with meter
but i do hate how unforgiving a mistake is with meter compared to pinpoint.
pinpoint is supposed to be the hardest and most rewarding pitching style..
but it has way too many benefits and definitely not the hardest
You can control how hard you throw the ball in pinpoint, but it's pretty difficult to do. When I change how hard it's thrown, it's usually by accident, LOL. It seems like one of those things that since I was already used to it before I began playing, I'm good to just stay with it. I haven't had the option to use meter pitching for anything since the old MVP baseball games of yesteryear :-).

Pin Point 100% here. My ERA this current season over 5 games is .069. Not too shabby.
I could never get meter's timing down. Pure Analog was just horrible last year so I didn't even attempt it this year.

I like meter due to being able to "miss" and still hit my spot due to different pitchers arm angles and pitch break/trajectory.

I use meter. I’m terrible with pinpoint.

First year...100% pinpoint. Takes a game or two to get down and then it is smooth sailing. Much better control and stamina...at this point I really am surprised everyone isn't using pinpoint, because there are significant advantages to the other methods. But I also get using what a person likes. I use the cards I like...not what some streamer says I should use or what card has the best attributes. It is important to use what you like and is fun.

I use meter ... 20 years of kicking field goals in Madden has to be good for something : )

Guess im the noob here....I use pulse and enjoy it

Analog and I have an era under 2 on Allstar. Under 1 on HOF

I've been using pulse for years. It's a relaxable pitch style.

I like it. Yeah its not super hard, but when that pulse hits, I know i did my job!
Its my first year playing, and so far i've completed a bunch, halfway done w/ mookie series. I'd rather feel more comfortable then trying crazy things

Wait. Is the default setting for pitching called "classic"?
And if so, it must suck hard because I've never heard a single person using it.
I started a couple months ago and never changed any pitching setting.
Im actually reasonably competitive online with this so I cant imagine how much better i could be if i changed to a better pitching method.

I think Default is either meter or pulse........I can't even remember

I used to be meter and directional. This is the first MLB game for me in a couple years and by the beginning of June I started sticking with Pin Point and zone.
I can’t imagine not using PP now.
-
No I just double checked. I've definitely been using Classic. I didn't know any better at first.
I think I'll try Meter now. PPP just seems too difficult. I favor fun over serious competition.
Which is why I'll never buy a monitor.
I prefer to relax in my recliner with my gaming projector on my 120 inch screen.I now know I'm at least good enough to complete every BR program, which is fine. I'll never make RS World Series or go 12-0 Flawless. But that's cool.

I've used PULSE last 5 years.
It's a good balance between user input and pitcher rating.
I loved MLB2K Pinpoint but can't seem to get it down on THE SHOW.
