Thus, what you call "opinions" are actually stated as facts (or assumptions), and these facts/assumptions are incorrect. So, what is the point of your thread? As soon as I saw the title "Does anyone actually use guess pitch?" it was crystal clear to me that the word "actually" was your way of saying, politely, "is anyone pathetic enough to use this? I am not." And I get annoyed when people come on to forums and opine that there is only one way to play a video game -- their way. If the true point of your post, as I suspect from reading between the lines, is to suggest that you are really good at this game, and people who use Guess Pitch are not good at this game, why don't you get honest and just come out and say that? Again, what was the point of this thread? Why did you really start it? You are telling people that use Guess Pitch that they need to give it up, right? Why? Why would it possibly matter to you whether or not Joe Shmoe in Keokuk, Iowa plays with Guess Pitch? I certainly don't care whether you play with or without it. Whatever floats your boat.

totally agree with u...

i play this game since 05(mlb 06) (i did play a little bit of mlb 05, chavez on the cover too, but that game was quite diferent from 06) and i must say love the guess pitch feature(feedback ON)..

About the 20 hit stuff becasue of the guess pitch on...well,thats bollocks...i get too many hits no matter if i use guess pitch or not...

the only stat i can say that changes when i use it is that i get more walks and x-base hits with it on than the single fest i have with it off.


hit number is not affected by it in my experience..might as well be a lot diferent for other people..but not for me.

BTW, great post chuckm1961...i couldnt have said it better!

This thread was 100% pointless imo.

that comment that I bolded, was unnecessary man. No need to tell people how they should be playing the game. None whatsoever.

I've played the game since '06 and have used GP each year. Before that I played ASB and used the GP in that series as well. Some people like it and some don't. No problem with either feeling. The problem is when someone tries to tell someone that one way or other is "wrong" in a sense, is uncalled for.

the thread wasn't pointless when it began, if he was just trying to get a discussion going on the positives/negatives of using GP and not using it. However, if this is nothing more than to put himself on a pedastal because he doesn't have to use it, then it indeed is pointless.

And I wouldn't be surprised if this thread gets locked shortly, as it seems to be nothing more than a breeding ground for a debate rather than a discussion.

Never have and never will.

Batting .283 as a team averaging 4.9 runs a game through 30 games in my chise so really dont need it.

Do i consider it cheating? Yes.

Do i think less of anyone who does use it? No, its their game they paid for it, play it how you want.

Theres a thread for that I think..Guess Pitch On or Off? if I remember correctly. The way it went, its now pointless for sure.

Like i said before, it was my OPINION and i just wanted other peoples opinions, i never said i was better than anyone.If that was the case i would play online and try to prove it.
