So I Tried Pinpoint Pitching for the First Time…
-
Just when I thought I’d seen every inconsistent, non-logical system this game has to offer I discover this laughable pile of trash
I will say I haven’t really pitched since MLB 16 as I usually just do RTTS as a batter but I hopped on the game today and thought I would try the pinpoint pitching since I see people using it all over instagram and YouTube.
It’s genuinely terrible, I don’t understand the logic behind the outcomes, there doesn’t seem to be any if I’m honest with you. Input seems to have zero effect on the outcome like every pitch is just completely random in terms of location no matter what you do.
I follow the pattern exactly, even getting the entirety of the lines green and it usually results in the ball missing the zone by about a mile or hitting the batter.
This game never fails to make me laugh in terms of how non sensical it can be. I’m not really bothered because like I say I rarely pitch but oh my goodness they just can’t help themselves from creating trash can they
I feel bad for players who only want to pitch, why would anyone choose this over pulse or meter
-
Pin point is better than pulse and meter. Sorry it didn't workout for you the one time you tried it. Also real pitchers sometimes miss their targets.

@theBlindRhino_PSN I'm a long time meter user, with mostly success...but I am starting to dabble into different methods...I've found analog was actually good middle ground, personally.
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN Yeah exactly, they miss sometimes, not every single pitch
This system would make someone new to baseball think pitchers have no control whatsoever
-
@JackD290_MLBTS pinpoint has the smallest pars for perfect input. If you can consistently have perfect input, it’s by far the best.

I’ve done pulse pitching since the beginning. I just never got the correlation between accurate pitching and moving the sticks in patterns. I’ve mentioned this in another post, but pulse pitching should be much better than it is. It feels very inconsistent, but I also don’t want to look at a madden kicking meter while I’m pitching. It’d be great if SDS tuned pulse pitching to be more viable and rewarding like it is in pro spirits.

I follow the pattern exactly
Here's how my pinpoint tracings look, which is why I use "Pure Analog":
Come to think of it, my "Pure Analog" flicks probably look like this too sometimes.

Am I the only one who uses pulse?

When I last played the game two years ago (I'm not playing now and have no intention of coming back to it), I practiced over a year (from a complete non-user) to try and get pinpoint down. I was able to get it down somewhat but never good enough to where I thought I'd either use it against someone or even use it in solo games. I was too much inconsistent. I've seen others on YouTube and Twitch that have it down and God bless them. But I just didn't. Plus it took all the relaxation out of the game. I won't condemn it because I understand the idea behind it. And if you can get it to work for you, the game gives you an advantage because you can aim your pitches much more precisely. But I didn't think it was worth putting any more time into trying to get better with it.
