hey guys this topic hasn’t been talk about in years. I see it was last talk about 2012. I use meter pitching for pitching but a friend said classic is more realistic. Does anyone here use classic? And if so what do you like about it?

I use classic and love it. Player ratings matter. All I can do is call the pitch and location. I can't control if he can actually hit that location.

I use classic pitching. I havnt the reaction for meter pitching. Its relaxing gaming

I use it as well.
It relies more on player attributes instead of my ability.
I also let the catcher call the pitch and location.

I too, prefer classic in my franchise. That makes it more realistic IMO. Really good pitchers pitch better than me controlling them. And really bad pitchers pitch worse than me controlling them.

So a lot of people i see here play with classic. I use meter my whole life lol so i got to get use to a new interface. My pitching is on hall of fame and my hitting is on all star. For some reason i was always a better pitcher lol then hitter

Yeah, me too. I usually have pitching one step higher than batting. Currently all star/hof Luke you said. Usually a couple of months in I end up bumping to Hof/hof. So long as I’m playing consistently.

Preface this by saying that its your franchise you play how you want ? But playing franchise with Classic/Timed is the only way to maximise ratings affecting the game. Actually Manage Only is the best way but i digress
