How to pitch slow breaking balls?

[justeee]

I saw CPU controlled pitchers speed up fastballs to 90+ mph while slowing down their breaking balls to 70 mph.

How can they do that?

Why my pitches (in whatever types) stick to a certain velocity that hardly change ?

Could anybody please teach me :oops:

It depends on pitcher, also I hope you know that you have different buttons for different pitches.

[justeee]

I know that

I used the same pitcher as CPU did, but could not throw as good pitches

for eg, CPU Josh Beckett pitches 94 mph 4-seamers, but my Beckett can only pitch 88 mph at the best.

Also, his curveball can slow down to 75mph, mine still up to 85mph.

What's the problem?

Are you using the pitch meter properly?

[ehhh]

Yeah, it sounds like your messing up the pitch meter and throwing mistake pitches every time.

[justeee]

I thought the pitch meter only affects the accuracy, not the power of the pitch.

Whether I release the button at the "perfect" zone or not seems to have little effect on the velocity of a pitch.

Right?

Yes

The pitching meter controls both the accuracy and speed of the pitch - the first section controls the velocity, the second controls the accuracy. Wind it up fully and miss the green zone by a lot, you get a hard, inaccurate pitch. Barely wind it up at all but hit the green zone and you get a soft, accurate pitch. Wind it up fully and hit the green zone, you get a hard, accurate pitch.
