Fastballs are too quick.

Just played an events game and hitting was fine. Fastballs were ok. Game is schizophrenic. Granted it was against prior and not Ryan but I could handle the adjustments. And I pitched with smoltz and my opponent was not consistently late or missing entirely but I played a game earlier today, much earlier, and pitched with smoltz against ohtani and was impossible for both of us. I keep telling you guys and few seem to listen, it's not a matter of skill. It's a mechanics issue. Listen people and quit accusing the problem to be a skill issue. I've played enough games to know the difference. There IS a problem to be addressed.
I agree with you. The timing window is off this year and fastballs just blow past before I can even react. It’s like the pitch speed and timing window are in two different places compared to last year.

@THE_Tomdawg69er dude dont be stupid. You understood. Understand the issue, dont get caught up in semantics. Dont lose sight of the forest for the trees.

@REDSMAN09 then you are an elite player and this thread is not of use too you. I am talking about normal players using all star and lower.

If so I should have adjusted because I've played about 15 games since they changed it. But there is just no time to gauge it now
What are you talking about. The balls i hit are fastballs unless I have 2 strikes or get fooled. They aren’t too fast. Maybe your tv has booty response time. I’m average at this game and my gripe is not getting rewarded for feedback, not pitch speeds.

For sure not elite lol, more like above average. This form is for all of us though because it affects everyone. Even the "elite's" of this game. Because once this season restarts we all have to start back on All Star difficulty even if we make the world series.

I’m swinging very early at 97 MPH fastballs, I gotta disagree man.
-
Pitch speeds are about the same. Hitting/Timing window is messed up for sure.
-
Pitch speeds are fine, timing windows horrific. Totally messed up.
-
I would have to say I’d like to see pitch speeds increased a bit at the lower levels. I get good good perfect perfects all that when I play HOF+Legend but put me on all star or below and all I do is pull everything foul. A 99 mile an hour fastballs I can’t make myself sit on any longer when your used to the higher difficulties. Once you play enough you can time fastballs they are better at just sneaking one by a guy for an easy strike. But if ur consistently getting owned by a fastball high and tight or just fastball in general then you need to practice timing cause fastballs made to be the easiest to hit.
-
Sadly, i'm still early on almost everything since i got a monitor, so they seem the same. Maybe i should play on HOF.

How many people saying pitch speeds are fine are playing on a monitor I wonder? I feel like the dudes lighting up my Hal newhouser throwing 100 mph gas are while some games I’m pitching a shut out. Meanwhile I’m consistently getting good okay on balls just barely outside the center of the pci consistently

I use a TV and I think they are fine. Anyone saying pitch speeds are fast are getting confused with the messed up timing window. Pitch speeds are fine. Timing window is not

It seems to be hit or miss. Some games they are crazy fast, some games it's ok. I played a game last night and was fine. But I played 3 games earlier that afternoon just before my first post and it was insane. The game I played late was an event game so I know was all star. The ranked seasons games I played that afternoon I was in the 400s so they were not on a high level but gold ohtani (against me) and my smoltz were both too fast for me and my opponent. So I dont know what's going on.
-
Pitch speeds are fine and don't need to be slowed down, practice and get better.
-
Dude your a broken record. It's not going to change the fact there is a problem and a lot of people agree.

There can be more than one issue. You say pitch speeds, I say grammar.
-
Move on. We are passed it. I'm saying timing window. Dont beat a dead horse.

Nah there isn't, just have to practice...

It's a mechanics issue ... period
