This is exactly why I have no problem with faster pitch speeds. It needs to be fast enough to the point where fastballs aren't super easy to hit. Otherwise we'll have another Slow Pitch Softball 18

Are you on a monitor?

Yes. I know I have an advantage playing on a monitor, but the equipment you use is important for any game. You need a monitor to be successful at shooter games too. You need a good PC and wired connection for most PC games. I know there is a divide in the community when it comes to this but there's just no way around it.

And for what its worth, I think pitch speeds are fine right now. I can react to a fastball easily if I'm sitting on it, but if I'm looking off speed and a 100 mph heater comes instead, I'm gonna be late on it

And to be clear, I’m not docking you or the OP for having a monitor. If I had the space in my house, I would have one. But, the original post is about how fastballs are useless and too slow. You made a comment about the divide, but that divide is only for less than 10 percent of the player base. Now, on this forum, that percent is much higher, because these are players that are competitive and love this game.

I’m just trying to say that fastballs are useful against 90 percent of the player base, even On all star difficult. As the good players level up in ranked, so do the pitch speeds. They might be useless against good players on monitors as you work your way up. But, they are probably useful if you make it to legend difficulty in rs.

I would buy a monitor because it would make fastballs look slower, but then I can’t then say I don’t like slow fastballs. I know that’s not what you’re saying, but that is how these threads are interpreted by guys like me. This game is not a pc game. So, in my opinion, it shouldn’t HAVE to be played on a pc monitor to enjoy it. If fastballs were amped up, enjoyability would drop for a large chunk of the player

I think that fastballs can be useful even for monitor players. You just have to know when to mix it in to keep your opponent off balance. The main thing is that sinkers are so much faster that there isn't a need to throw a 4 seamer for many pitchers

Sure, you can "mix them in" but in real baseball it is the primary pitch that everything else is based on for most pitchers. The biggest tell for me is, what is the pitch I like to hit the most? It's one of two things: hanging slider or fastball.
