Even if you do not sim your games, you are still going to sim the CPU vs CPU games. Fact is, it is broken as of now. Chad Billingsley had 33 K's in 119 through the all star break. I'm not too worried as SCEA has a great track record in fixing these kinds of issues.

It's fun. It's like being a GM and getting to make your own moves and everything. Don't get how people really get full experience of franchise mode without simming big part of it, since it'd take several months(in real life) to play through just a single season of the game. Simming it makes you get through as many seasons as you want, and build the team completely like how you want

"One button press" pitching that essentially takes user input out of the pitching game.

How well a pitcher hits his spots is dependent on ratings, fatigue, game situation... as opposed to being able to master a meter and hitting spots even with poor pitchers

so if i understand classic pitching is more out of your hands? you choose the pitch and then thats it. everything else is determined based on what you mentioned? pulse pitching would be the closest to 2k's analog pitching then. the other pitch option reminds me of foul shots in 2k. stopping the moving cursor close to the line.
does TheShow have actual analog pitching like 2k? where each pitch requires a different motion?

You also select location.

Tapping X is less of an effort and theoretically more accurate, although you can still miss your spots

Holding X longer adds effort to pitch which reduces accuracy more while making breaking pitches break sharper (not always a good thing) and adding umph to a FB

Meter still uses the ratings of a pitcher, man. Even if you master it, you're still going to kiss spots and get rocked with a poor pitcher.

It only nails the bat placement for about 5% of his entire stance. It's not even close. I'd rather have the one from 12, as would everybody else.
