I edited Roy Halladay's skills to give him a 200mph fastball, 180mph 2seamer, 180 mph cutter, 150 mph curveball and a 180 mph sinker. Here is ho I managed to bat with Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano:

I also did the same thing with pitching, it wasn't as fun as I expected, jut because the catcher doesn't catch the pitches, they either go past or through him and there is no possibility of a strikeout.

I thought it would be more fun :mad:

Here's part two, I tried to strike out Johnny Damon. The first pitch is a 2fb, second one a cutter, third one a 4fb and the last one is a sinker. As you can see the poor catcher hasn't got quick enough reflexes :toothless: also you get to see a bad throw by Zaun hehe.

Haha, you should try to throw a slow off-speed pitch after those fast ones and see how in front the computer would be.

I'm pretty sure that the velocities are limited to 127mph.

Yup, it's notepad...

Hullu itävaltalainen häh? Baseballia sielläki vai? Täällä on jopa seuroja joissa parhaat syöttäjät heittää 70mph parhaimmillaan!

Uhm....yeah, sure.

Ok, I gotta admit, I don't speak Finnish. I would really like to learn it someday, though.

Ok, more stuff.

Wakefield owns Jose Reyes

Pedro with a wicked curveball

Now I got interested in this, I'd like to create a superhuman pitcher and start a dynasty. As you can see in the videos, a 114mph pitch is something the catcher is available to catch. What I'd like to figure out now is what are the fastest and slowest pitches a catcher is capable of catching, if someone knows, please let me know. Tywiggins already stated that 127mph was a pretty sure maximum.

I gave Pedro a 30mph changeup and Wakefield a 30mph knuckler, they both had insane movement, went at least 10 feet up, but dropped before the plate and therefore became wild pitches, runners advanced.

What would the superhuman pitcher be like? I thought something like this:

4FB - Max speed

2FB - Max speed

Cutter - Max speed

Curve - Normal, max movement

Changeup - Min speed

One thing I have to keep in mind is that the pitcher-batter interface is pretty much scripted so the batters don't really have a difference in reaction times whether the pitch is edited 100 or 200 mph.

The maximum pitch speed seems to be 114mph when edited with notepad. When I put velocity as 115, it was a wild pitch when pitched with full effectiveness.

I tried to bat against Pedro Martinez with a 115mph 4fb, 114mph 2fb cut crv and a 35mph circlechange :D my god it was vicious, I managed to hit only changeups but after 3-4 heaters the changeup fooled pretty badly, althought it went about 10 feet high.

I'll probably create a pitcher with a 114mph heater, 100mph moving fastball, 85mph curve and a 50 mph changeup :D that should cause some timing problems.
