I can't find a good tutorial on how to effectively pitch. Ok so I can put the ball where I want in the strike zone, got that down. I can land in the "green zone" on the pitch radar. Done. But I KEEP giving up hits/ homeruns! Which tells me i'm missing something when it comes to how to pitch in games. I've tried all pitches, I try switching it up. I know there is something i'm missing here. Should I not always be trying to land the pitch meter in the green zone? Should I throw more balls? Do the colors on the strike zone mean I should aim for that color on the pitch radar as well? I LOVE this game but right now the only problem im having is figuring out pitching! Would really appreciate a quick tutorial on how to effectively pitch!

Just installed MVP, downloaded the MVP 2015 mod . This one: http://www.mvpmods.com/files/file/8984-mvp-baseball-15/ Love it, everything's great but now as far as the controls go i'm really confused. I plugged in my Xbox controller... it worked but now here are the problems i'm getting 1. The game randomly pauses when i'm using the joystick on defense to run for the ball it seems. 2. I can't figure out how to adjust the controls. It just says things like BTN(1) BTN(2) . I don't know how to coordinate those to the controller. By chance is there a custom controller setup someone has already made? Any help is really appreciated it. I got skype if someone finds it easier to verbally explain things.
