I am a long time player in this franchise but I have NEVER figured out how on earth to become decent at pitching.
I'm not a good enough hitter to slug it out so pitching has to be my strong point and I am terrible at it.
I've used just about every way and still get terrible results.
If your a good pitcher, what do you do that works?

I've been pre-ordering for as long as I can remember. I think I'll wait this year to see what's in store for 24.
I'm in the same boat. I was pretty disappointed this year. I lost interest around the All Star break. I used to play many hours a week and found myself not even wanting to play at all. I still turn it on but after about ten minutes off it goes.

Have we reached the end game?
Their hasn't even been any big collection for end game cards, which is disappointing and the whole sets thing is not fun at all.
I'm trying to complete alot of unfinished programs, but if there is really nothing special left I feel like I'm just wasting time at this point. -

Don’t be offended but I’m doing the same with stuff I skipped over and that literally has to be the worst excuse to not buy a game I’ve heard in my entire life. You can probably delete this.
I'm pretty sure this is one of several reasons I do not like this year's version, NOT the only one. Maybe listing all of them would be slightly moronic.

Going through some uncompleted programs and I'm working on the August Topps now moments.
Every time I finish a moment the LCS program screen pops up. So I have to exit out and scroll down, go back into the August Topps now program and then select another moment.
What a raggedy [censored] game this year really is. Thinking about skipping next year, unless there are significant improvements next year. -
I finally beat it today and actually never recorded an out. This was the only thing I had been doing since it came because I thought it shouldn't be THAT hard.
-
At this point I just play moments, try to complete programs to just say I did, conquest, etc. for no other reason than I like baseball and try to get better at this game.
I'm definitely not playing for any cards, specific rewards, or anything. This year is very non rewarding and just uninteresting -
This is definitely a new low. I've played far less this year than ever.
The whole set thing is not well thought out, the seasons are way too long, it's just terrible this year. -
I've pretty much called it quits.
The gameplay is fine and I really never complain about that stuff.
But I'll tell you this set thing is awful, totally has turned me off this year. Not a big fan of the captain thing either.
The live series collection thing is old as well. That needs to be revamped completely. By the time most get it done, those are worthless cards.
Events just stink, never have liked those either.
Anyway, nobody forces me to buy the game, and either I like it or I don't. This year I don't, and if I see more of the same next year I'll take a hard pass. -
@jaychvz_XBL said in I Truly Hate This Year:
I think your just a complainer , the set isn't over yet and you're already complaining. Everyone is going to lose the set cards . So you'll be even with everyone, plus you can use ALL your cards in casual .
Changes are made in sports all the time for competitive balance.
Basketball didn't use to have the 24 second clock .
Football changes rules all the time .Ok, for one I'm not complaining.
I'm explaining one thing I do not like genius.
Secondly, the game plays fine. They didn't change rules tor competitive balance, they changed the way your able to set your lineup based on availability of cards, so how in the hell does that equate to a rules change to make the game better. -
Yeah I hear what your saying, but my issue is that when trying to complete a program, moonshot for example, I was trying to build a team, but I couldn't use cards based on the restrictions on sets. I'm confused as to why that is.
Might be my lack attention this year because I was so turned off by the sets.
Anyway if I'm wrong, screwed up, don't understand, etc. I still play but easily my least favorite game in the past 5 years. -
I absolutely despise the set thing going on this year.
If I have a card I want to use just let me use it, who cares if it's in everybody's lineup, that doesn't mean I'm better or worse.
This game was very tiring this year having to go through the grind and semi exhausting pain of trying to piece together a lineup just to play a ranked game.
I sure hope there are major changes next year in terms of sets. I hope thus was a one year mistake. -
Straightforward question
Best pitching mechanic: Pure Analog, pinpoint or meter.
Been doing pinpoint for two years and not sure it's that good.
Thoughts on any and why -
I've kinda given up this year. Not a fan of the set thing, don't care for the Captain stuff either.
Alot of stuff is recycled and then there is more stuff thrown on top which is too much.
I used to play everyday but now I only care yo get on on every 3 days or so and it's to play a ranked just to play.
Very lackluster product this year. -
How do you know when in any online mode do you recognize a really good player? What seems to kind of give it away regardless of record?
I'm curious because I've run into some poor records and just got my [censored] kicked and vice versa. Want to know your thoughts. -
I think the issue is that there is a large gap in matchmaking.
There should be something along the lines of divisions either based on record, rating, etc. and that is where you play your entire ranked season based upon that and you earn rewards that way.
After said season you either move up or down in order to obtain season long rewards meaning current World Series rewards.
I'm sure there are flaws to this, but this is my opinion and I am certainly somebody who has played far less ranked this year than before because it gas become very stale and non rewarding. -
I always like the game itself, but the programs and the grinding and the amount of non sellable cards has really turned me off this year. I used to play many hours a day, I'm retired, so that's a plus, but this year I have played way less.
I love baseball, but this game needs a serious injection of something. -
Glad to see I'm not the only one. Thought my monitor was going down the tube.

Yes, playing conquest and it is slow as hell. Been disconnected once already.
