    Hi. Been using meter for years now since thats what im used to and yes i have past few days. I would pitch say for example high and in fastball on a either good or perfect release and it just goes into the dirt. You're not the only 1 its happening to.

    It's happened but only online and it's due to bad connection on either my part or my opponents. other than that meter has been pretty accurate for me.

    It happens to me, but I usually end up serving up a meatball when it happens. Luckily, I usually play the cpu on rookie or veteran, so I don't typically get penalized for it.

    At least two or three times a game vs the cpu, and a couple times an inning in ranked. USUALLY it doesn’t bite me at all, but yeah it happens.

    Really bothers me vs the CPU though because it just seems to happen in key moments…regardless of clutch rating

    The best pitching method is pure analog. Its just as accurate as pin point. But without all the hassle of drawing outlines etc. I dont know how people sit there all game and draw circles and all the non sense it takes to throw every pitch with pin point. Pure analog takes some getting used to and isn't easy either. But its way easier than pin point. Ive made world series with analog it works.

    That's why I only use Meter.
    There is a way to 'take something off' pitches with Meter that is hard to explain. It's the most natural way anyway.

    Meter is was and always will be the superior pitching method IMO. Its the only pitch method in which you can alter pitch speed and location on the delivery.

    @Ditka06_MLBTS I agree analog is better, but PP is way easier to get perfect. If you can master analog, it’s more precise than PP in a perfect vs perfect comparison but it’s not as easy as PP.

    @TheGoaler_PSN It does allow for you to change your release. I think it gives you more options but may sacrifice accuracy for those options. I've just been using meter for years and that's what I'm comfortable with. My ERA is solid and if I give up a moonball it's usually because of a stupid decision moreso than a game mechanics issue.

    It took me about a week to learn pinpoint (I switched from pulse), but once I had it down, it was so much better. Just play the CPU and start with only 4 seam, then try other pitches once you have that down. It is worth the time investment trust me
