AereonBlaze Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 So, I (finally) picked up MVP a few days ago and have been having a blast with it, performance issues aside. I just started playing some online matches, and have been generally having a good time. A lot of close games, won in extras. In any case, I was playing a guy and blasting him 4-0. In the top of the 5th (only to 5 innings), he starts calling me a coward on chat because I'm throwing a lot of offspeed pitches. Change-up's and curves on the corner. In any case, even when (after that) I pitched him only fastballs over the plate he didn't get a hit, I was verbally beat-down again for throwing hard in on the hands. So, well, I was wondering. Do you think it's okay to throw those kinds of pitches online? I mean, the way I looked at it was this. I wasn't throwing any balls (not intentionally anyway). The pitches were all hittable if you guess right and read the hitters eye. I mean, I ripped a few hanging curves in the game for homers. I shouldn't have to throw heaters down the center all the time, right? I mean, if you're getting beat inside, you start to guess where the pitcher's going with his throws, and take a step back, then swing...right? Or should I start keeping towards the center of the plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Yeah, don't worry about it. If he sucks and can't handle it, that's his problem. Not yours. If you play anybody here, you should get a good, professional game. I reccomend playing Fuzz. It was close until I blew it towards the end. Damn whacked out controller.

homersheineken Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Don't worry about it.... If he wants fastballs only down the middle, he can play Home Run Derby, not a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangderx Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I heard a few stories about how one guy was throwing balls out of the zone, and the kid he was playing kept swinging at them and striking out. He called the guy a cheater for throwing balls he couldn't hit. Then he quit the game went to the lobby and told everyone to not play this guy because he cheats. Some people just get frustrated when the can't hit. I do too. I have only played about 10 or so games online and it is not easy to win. But to start calling people cheaters is wrong.
