archrival Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Why is it that I can play on MVP level with no slider adjustments and have 0-0 games go into the 13th? I can't hit on MVP level yet, but pitching is TOO simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archrival Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Maybe you're a god? Must be... I'm just saying that it's certainly possible to pitch well, at least with no datafile/slider adjustments. I'm certainly going to adjust some sliders, but until I can hit on MVP level, I'm not going to change much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticNut Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Stay on the corners. Don't be afraid to walk somebody. Change speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expos4Ever Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Pitch around sometimes, a man on first won't kill you. I find Changeup down for a ball especially useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitter Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 What I learned to do was not always throw a first pitch strike. Alot of the homers I have given up have been first pitch fastballs on the corner. Also if a guy is taking alot of pitches or fouling them off it seems he is more likely to hit a homer or at least a hit so I either pitch around him or be very careful. If you have 2 strikes, dont throw another pitch in the zone. You can almost always get the CPU to chase one. A low curveball (about 2 ball diameters below the zone, or low sinker works well). If your guy has a slider I put it outside the opposite corner about a ball length and they chase it or make weak contact. I do not have much luck w/ changeups in the zone. Everyonce in a while a try to sneak one in, but I hold my breath when I throw it cause the CPU seems to like whacking at them. I tried the low chageup out of the zone like someone mentioned that works OK as a strikeout pitch, but they dont seem to chase those quite as often as the curves.

NYM Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I really only get HR hit on me with mistake pitches. Occasionaly ill give up a HR on a regular "non miss" pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
