Is pinpoint THAT much better than meter?

I have only ever used meter, going back to MVP Baseball, and I am sticking with it until if they ever remove it as an option.
Same, and I hear it's one of the most consistently accurate of the pitching controls.
Just don't hang Sliders by missing the green... -

Pinpoint really doesn't take long to pickup in my opinion. Really just a few conquest games and I felt like I had a good enough feel to use it. It has been well worth it...the command and stamina are huge.
I will say that since the update, pinpoint is a mixed bag for me. It is still great for me offline and in BR, but in the Event I can't get a good release to save my life. I am just hanging everything. I can't figure out why I am so much worse with better pitchers in the Event than I am in BR with silvers.
Right?!?! Dude I can’t get the release timing down to save my life. I’m literally always .08-.1 seconds early on the release EVERY time and it always puts the pitch right down the middle. I used to get perfect releases 40% of the time or so and now it’s at like 10...

Pinpoint pitching is now general vicinity pitching.

Still use Meter as well. Tried Pinpoint for a bit earlier this year but it just wasn’t fun for me. It’s like having to play a dumb mini-game every pitch drawing pictures. Using Meter definitely causes me to hang the occasional pitch but it also helps me enjoy the game more so there’s that.
Yeah, I like to use it in my Franchise as it produces some decent realistic results in terms of statistics, so your entire rotation doesn't have an ERA below 2.50.

Pinpoint hurts my feelings

Pinpoint was good to start out, now it’s just as questionable as any other pitching input. My opinion of course.

I use meter as well since I am old school. I do know that when I get DeGrom to 110 or so pitches he is tired. From what I read on these boards, if you are using pinpoint, he is still in the green up to 140 pitches or more. So it definitely makes a difference in stamina.
This shouldn't be the case if true. That's a fail in the game mechanics.
I am exclusive to meter and have been told by people that watch my streams in CL that I lose stamina because I max out my meter every pitch.
If this is accurate, pinpoint needs to be adjusted for stamina and shame on all of us for not thinking about this earlier.
Shame on SOE though for not vetting this mechanic though. That's just another example of lazy programmers.

The stamina issue with Pinpoint is not a new discussion...it has been talked about all year. At times there has been borderline begging for SDS to fix it.

Pinpoint is the only achievement I’m missing lol.

only use meter. i feel like pinpoint was a cheat until they finally nerfed it. besides the pitching mechanic in MLB 2k11 was way better in my opinion (especially with Roy Halladay)

I haven't tried meter again since the start of the year, but pinpoint still feels just as easy to dot with as it did when I first got good with it. Plus the stamina glitch makes it even more superior imo
