I don't think eliminating pitchers from being able to have moments is a very sound idea.

For what reason?

Your are eliminating half the game of baseball essentially, and it's honestly way easier then hitting ones tbh

I knew someone would bring up the half the game thing. It's the lame half. Would you play a game that was only hitting? I bet you would. But if it was only pitching you wouldn't. And yes, it used to be easier, but like I said they made it harder a few days ago. I have to perfect pinpoint every pitch or else who knows where it winds up.

Are you saying there aren't people who think pitching is better? Are you saying they should only cater to you because you love hitting? Step outside of your bubble and realize there are many people who play for different reasons other then your own

Yes that's what I'm saying. Anyone who likes pitching more than hitting is a weirdo and should be red flagged so they can't buy firearms.

I'm not complaining but it seems like pitching got tougher a few days ago. What I am complaining about though is all the pitching in the new spotlight moments. Does anyone actually like pitching moments? I don't think they're necessary and would rather just have all hitting challenges.

@jkooch66_xbl said in How good are you with Pinpoint??:

I'm surprised to hear so many people struggling with it. I asked because I'm normally a pulse pitcher and very happy with it, but I have a new setup with a much better response time and less input lag, and while I can now hit MUCH better I can no longer pulse pitch. I guess I was so used to unconsciously making up for the lag that I just can't use it like this.

So I'm all torn between trying to re-time pulse, meter, which I hate, and trying to force myself to use pinpoint even though I'm dreadful with it. I never thought pitching would ever be the harder part...

So what's the new setup that improved your hitting?

Cruz. 6 foot 7 plus 5 tools. Someone back me up

Glad it's not just me then! Put the real attribute rating in there sds! Stop gaslighting me by making me doubt what I'm seeing!

Am I completely mental or does it often seem like you're doing a moment on just veteran and the pitcher you're facing has a 95 mph with 77 velocity but it actually looks like a 100 mph with 99 velocity? It would give me a little peace of mind if I knew I wasn't the only one who thinks this, and if sds did program that in then please stop messing with my head like that sds.

And for players we need if I'd like to put in a request for Jamie Moyer please

I think it seems like we're playing better players because we're throwing a lot of average pitchers at them. My team isn't quite as good since I haven't got a lot of good live series.

I'd say just keep playing 21 it's the exact same game. Or get an Xbox and gamepass so you don't have to pay money to sds

How do you restart one of those even? I never saw any options for that

How would you even implement it? One of the umps has to count how many steps each fielder takes in the wrong direction?

Screw the 5th inning one. I move my PCI too much for Ryan's outlier 102. With a human you can read tendencies and sit on a location. With the cpu, it's all stupidly random -- high curveballs and sliders, smoke 2 feet off either side of the plate, then a dot on the low inside corner.

Worst experience of this season for me. Hated it and won't replay it.

Draft speed and pick up the bunting perks. Makes it super easy

I'm so glad this game finally came out for xbox so now I don't feel the need to pay for ea to make the same game over and over again

If you got a few fast guys and the bunt boost perks it makes the final showdown pretty easy

About 10% of the time it stops the follow through motion way short of the target reticule like it does when you're really late, and says you're like .15 to .25 seconds early, resulting in a pitch that goes no control somewhere like right down the middle. When you're battery's low it does it like every time.

I don't know how you perfect bunters do it. Pitches way out of the strike zone with guys who don't even have good bunt ratings and it's perfect every time. I wish I knew how you did it. I can't even find any YouTube videos about it. If someone can tell me the secret surely karma will reward you greatly some day.

Just warning everyone who upgrades to the series x to keep one of your old controllers and use that instead. I'm surprised not more people are talking about this because it's so ridiculous that xbox is selling a next generation controller that glitches out on a key part of the only baseball game they've had in almost a decade. Are you on this SDS? I think you've got more sway to influence Microsoft than I do...
