Dude I can’t even get past stupid Fernando Valenzuela that did is impossible to hit I honestly hope he is never in the game again
Just don't swing at the breaking pitches.
If you don't like Fernando, you definitely won't like Christy Matheson.

Fernando is tough. You can only look fast, You can cover both the screwball and the fastball by looking fast. If he throws you a curve or change, tip your hat and don't care that you swung early and looked like a fool.
And like the poster above said, in Season 11 showdown, don't swing at the breaking pitches. I think he's a little different in the RIB showdown though. I am practically looking screwball in the RIB. His breaking ball looks like it drops more in the 11th

Hahahahaha, yeah. If I could even get to Nolan I'd let you know. I'm housesitting and playing on a 60+ inch TV and I'm basically just striking out bigger. Can't wait to get to Nolan and really suck.
This game is horrible on a big screen.

It's really hard to hit for some reason. I feel like I have to swing super early. The graphics look amazing. I just suck right now.

I love it. If I stay up at night playing, I'll move a camp chair about 6 to 10 ft from an 82 inch.
My entire field of view is taken up and the detail is insane.

On the bright side, facing Pedro after Nolan is like taking candy from a baby.

Yeah Pedro is by far the easiest to hit out of all the bosses, him and Gagne.

That's why he is the greatest strike out Beast of all time Recognize!!

@raesone_psn said in Nolan Ryan:
Am I the only one who feels like they accidentally messed up with the coding on his fastball, where they actually made him throw 120mph instead of 102mph? His outlier fastball is so much harder to hit than any other imo.
Agreed. Plus this showdown was kind of boring. Basically just bunt for a hit. Sac bunt, sac bunt, sac bunt, win. Then I got to him and couldn't touch the ball.
-
Mets should've kept Nolan, ya think?
-
Yeah. Nolan was so much easier to hit last year. As was Felix Hernandez. I’m kind of glad that they both have serviceable cards now, but I agree that Ryan is near impossible to hit.
They have yet to make a serviceable Bob Gibson, though. I really want his card to be good someday.

Yeah, his card thus year was great for offline play but I'm sure he's hittable online.......Not by me, but someone hahaha.

yaaaaaa baby 100% - nothing beats the feeling of throwing a Ryan middle zone outside plate high FB to end inning on a K out
-
I am glad they figured out a way to make Nolan tough to hit. Cuz he should be tough to hit! Idk that Nolan’s change up was as good IRL as it is in the game lol? I’m a lil skeptical of that. BUT, he was a legend and he should be tough.
-
Nolan is my best SP for RS. Only pitcher I have with a well over .500 win percentage.
-
Nolan Ryan should be extremely difficult to hit, he has 7 no hitters and 12 1-hitters...on top of 5,714 K's. That said, sit fastball and you'll beat him in Showdown.

Yup he was great. I wasn't struggling against him in Showdown though, I simply made a thread about an observation about how his fastball seems so much faster than other 102 fastballs.
-
It could be that his delivery is slower and that makes his FB seem faster than 102.
