Pitches
-
So if people are throwing different pitches today that move different, can we get those next year in MLB 25? Like some people are really good change up pitchers but there is only 2 in the game. Sale and Skubal both said they throw a seam shifter change up. So if they throw a different pitch with a different name then can we get that with the movement it has. Plenty of people in real life also throw front door 2seamers that come back onto the plate to move the hitter to try and open the outside or keep pounding in. The game of baseball has changed to spin and speed, so why do some pitches not move in the video game that is “realistic”. I feel that if you add more pitches that have sharper bits to them you would change the meta that has been kinda the same the last few years. The MLB batting averages have gone down in real life because of more spin and sharper break, but MLB the Show has most the hitters in my lineup and my friends lineup hitting 400? Let people be rewarded on good swings but make pitches nasty so it’s hard to hit. Make knowing baseball the skill gap in MLB the Show once you learn the game mechanics. To end I’ll give an example that’s easy to follow, how may people throw nasty 2seamers IRL that get sinkers in MLB the show. Like sinkers drops and 2seamers run, so why does the game not reflect that? Like break feels slow and not sharp is my point after all that. Either a quirk needs to be added or fix the pitching. Plz make MLB 25 great

I think batting averages have gone down and everyone has an uppercut swing hunting for home runs.

@rageincage007_XBL Everyone I play is hitting 380 plus and has more Homers than other XBH’s. Pitches should still move more, no pitches in this game fool you when you lock in. Good example for you, what’s a RFB (running fastball) do? I’ll tell you, even if you go in and edit the pitcher to have 99 break, it barely moves. My point is, if pitches move more or are sharper when they do then I think that changes the meta of how people pitch. Like high sinkers are still a thing, why not make high 2seamers that move be good and a sinker low off that just a good smart pitch right?

@Dinger_Dan19_PSN I was speaking more of IRL, sorry I didn't make that clear
