Please tell me there are multiple others who have to lower pitch speed

If there's a game on the market that makes me feel like an "old" gamer, this is the one.

When I play at the default pitch speed.....I just can't do anything. I make contact every once in a while, but I strike out so much. I've already lowered the pitch speed slider one tick and I think I may even go down 2. It pretty much makes me hang my head in shame. There's not one other game on the market where I have to lower any kind of setting to actually get enjoyment out of it.

I'm not alone......right?

Nope I'm doing the same thing, I've lowered it two clicks already. It's still a challenge and it's a good starting place to build from. Set the bar where you're comfortable and adjust from there. If you dominate the CPU, then adjust accordingly, and vice versa. Last year I got frustrated because I was just flat out horrible at hitting even with aids such as guess pitch and what not. I would literally just guess fastball every pitch and hope I would get lucky. This year I use no aids, timing, on All-star difficulty and I've taken my lumps but I'm going to stay steadfast to that setup. But I am going to adjust sliders and what not to where I'm comfortable because I don't want to miss out on this great game!

Hope that helped

Your not alone I lower mine all the way down. It doesn't drastically make the ball slower and I find the pitches to be still pretty fast. It just gives you a little more time to judge which makes a difference.

Also a guy who lowers the speed down. No feeling bad. See the sig for my thoughts on it.

[econoodle]

yep.
i drop it to one above zero.

I've got it at 0 and I still think it's too fast.

Nothing wrong with lowering it.

I've been playing Mass Effect 3 all day, so I haven't had much time in 12, but in 11 I actually had to move the pitch speed up because I was constantly swinging early. Its harder to judge where a pitch is going to end up, but I ended up putting a lot more balls into as I wasn't pulling them foul as often. It actually increased my doubles and even triples but quite a bit.

Im at zero as well
