A treatise on pitching in MLBTS
-
Ok I’ve thought of the title so let’s make this thread a pitching clinic. Anything goes and I’ll start.
When changing speeds the progression should go fastball to slider and back, or fastball to and change or curveball. I learned this from none other than John Smoltz. He said you never want want to step down in increments but rather the goal should be to affect as large a differential in speed at possible. He gave examples of never going from a slider to a curve but rather slider back up to fastball and THEN to off speed. While not a Cardinal Rule is is certainly an intelligent way to pitch.

Well thats another problem with the game , everybody doing too many different fawcetts . Put everyone on same field . Water muddy enough already.Best leagues in 2005 were simulated by CPU vrs CPU lineps and rosters were submitted commisioner simmed it out recorded results and even shared gameplay footage . Was very similar to real deal and cheating was dealt with by the rope

Games were decided by knowledge statistical probabilities and the occasional Bucky Dent

One big factor that Im sure would help a lot of games. Im speaking of PC version which is where i know 4 sure. This was computer program. When we hit a wall we give the players tools and info to work on it with us. Be surprised how many times they got the answer before we did.

I don't think irl pitching strategies work in game . I think the what you have to do is change location. Double up on pitches occasionally to not be too predictable, but the biggest factor I believe is getting perfect on your pitch meter to get the rng in your favor.
