Game play suggestion to add depth/strategy to FB’s

[WashedND_PSN]

I think something the game could use is a better system for fastballs.

Suggestion is to add a mechanic to “ramp up” on fastballs. As a guy who was a pretty decent pitcher, you aren’t throwing max effort every single fastball. Possibly if you’re a closer yea. Starter? No way

Very simple addition would be to double tap the pitch when you select it.

Example pitcher: deGrom
4sm FB range: 96-102
Regular intensity FB 96-99
Max effort FB 100-102

Single press of the FB button gives an output speed of 96-99 velo
Double press of the button gives the max effort velo with small dip in pitch accuracy as well as a multiplier of like 1.5 to stamina impact

This could potentially apply to all pitches but fastballs ate the pitches that need it most. Gives us user control and creates more strategy when pitching.

It would even help lower velo guys.

Pretty sure holding the button until you feel a vibration makes him throw it his hardest.
