@skepple15 theres no exploit w a KB pitcher. I myself would love to go up against one. But I also know how to pitch with one. I can throw your timing off for a solid 3-5 batters till you’ve adjusted. Ain’t like I’m using him the whole game, now that would be cheesing and dumb. To call me an exploit player when I’ve been playing the game just as long as you is disrespectful. My post is not a flaunt, you got scrubs announcing they pull Trout then go <.500. you go INTO their post calling them cheesy and an exploit?
A common pitcher being able to be that effective is an exploit, sorry. Like I said, most of us here don't exploit to win but we're actually good at the game...

Point is a KB out of the pen, if used properly, can be EFFECTIVE don’t matter if card is common or not. End of story
Nah, it's an exploit, if a common is that effective there's clearly something not right and that's the fact that they've never been able to balance their effectiveness properly, that's why no good players use knuckleballs, they know how cheesy it is. but like I said, you do you, you need it, others don't.

Only way to balance the knuckle ball is to completely remove all aspects of control. Knuckle balls should purely be "Press X to throw". RNG would rule the day. Only way to balance it.

Who knows mb I’m publicizing Feierabend on here to see more appearances from him for those “cheesy” players that think the KB alone will get the job done
Nah, you thought people would go along with your cheesy exploit but that wasn't the case..

If I went up against someone spamming KB after KB I agree I would say their cheese also. And would quickly figure them out. But if dude is mixin the FB in also peppering the paint and corners then I’d give them props. It’s only a matter of time to figure one’s pattern and frequency but for a solid inning I’ll continue “exploiting” till SDS figures something out I guess

Feirabend is a 49 OVR...
I don’t care how good you are at pitching, no pitcher rated that low should be that effective. Put another common pitcher on the mound and see how he does, I’m sure it won’t even be CLOSE. I wonder why that would be the case? Maybe because he has a broken pitch exclusive to only him

How is it less cheesy if you “mix in” a fastball?
Personally, I think it is less cheesy if you just spam the knuckleball. At least then you’re owning it. Use the knuckleball pitcher if you want, but don’t try to legitimize it. Everyone knows it’s an exploit.

the dude threw non stop KNUCKLE - so annoying - i couldn't touch it ......
my timing is great the ball just flies around blind
its all good 95% of my games didn't have these kinds of players thankfully . most of you guys are great sports and good sportsmanship

Well at least you're willing to admit you need to exploit

Turn off zone hitting and use directional. That knuckleball [censored] get crushed then

@skepple15 if some is spamming KB every pitch then yeah their cheesing, if I’m using my whole pitch inventory and am EFFECTIVE then theres a skill gap. All the hate for Knucklers since the Dickey days of 13 continues haha
I completely disagree with this. It is actually opposite. IRL KB pitchers dont throw any other pitch. very seldom will they sneak in a FB or another pitch. The reason you are mixing other pitches in is so your opponent cannot time the KB, because you know it will get crushed. That is even more cheesy.
-
I actually miss having proper knuckleballers in the game. But I understand why they're not.
A good way to balance them out would be to determine the amount of movement on how good the input was. So if you miss your input you won't get that much wobbling.
