<![CDATA[Can't pitch in event]]>I use meter pitching, and even when I place the ball dead center and hit the meter perfectly the ball goes wherever it wants to. Is anyone else having an issue with pitches not going anywhere near the plate even though you're giving perfect input?

They are clipping the back half of the zone over and over...the kinda game where, even if youre playing well, you gotta resort to just trying to foul off pitches and hope for a mistake (which might come once every 3 innings)

If anyone is one of those guys, tell us how you do it.

I tried pinpoint when it first came out and I just couldn't get it down. Maybe I should give it another shot.

Meter is what I grew up on but it's problem is even with perfect inputs, if the PAR is massive you're completely random in terms of the location(Looking at you, Cityscape JR Richard). I honestly haven't tried analog yet...which may be my next one.

Meter used to be the only way to pitch and I've never changed. Still get to 700 every year in my 60 fps tv.

Basically whether it's bad or not it can still be done.

But yeah, its real easy for a change or curve to just float in the middle - even though you have perfect input

I grew up on meter and thats the only pitching i can use. It happens to me all the time lol

I always found both pretty meh so I didn’t care and used pulse until pinpoint came out because you can put any ball as far in the dirt as you want your catcher will block it because it’s so easy to get a perfect release. (Really good during the foul ball era) It is the least accurate, but if the pitches has good control it’s not that bad. Still made WS every season.

Pinpoint is a very fun mechanic though, took me a bit but once you get it, it’s easily the best. I don’t see what’s super difficult about it, seemed easier to me than analog or metre. If you play it for a day you’d have it mastered

I have a direct connection to my 1G fiber optic internet.

It does feel like I'm waiting a long time for my opponent when the game first start.

Half of it doesnt work. Just telling you the pitching options that are known to work best. Analog and pin point. Get good at one of those and practice.

Why is that an option then? I've tried analog and it worse for me, and with pin point, the ball goes directly down the middle when I miss a little. I've had most of my online success with meter, I wonder if it's the servers?

Use analog instead. Or pin point. Never understood why anyone would use meter. Analog is actually easier. And way more accurate. Not a pin point guy either. Not doing all kinds of designs with my controller to throw a pitch.
