Classic pitching? Sliders?

[jacory12]

I am fairly new to the show and have been messing with the sliders a lot to get realistic gameplay. However I believe that classic pitching is the way to go and apparently there are a lot of people who would agree with me. The only problem is that I can't seem to find sliders that work well. Does anyone have any that work well with classic?

Also I people think they are good at classic pitching maybe they could teach me a little bit.

I've been using human control @ 2 and consistency @ 8 with classic pitching. It works for me, as I get a nice mix of accurate pitches, near misses (for balls, not always meatballs), some hangers, and the rare "what was that?" wild ones. I usually walk 3-4 guys per game and it can be a challenge with poor control pitchers (as it should be).

Default pitching sliders with classic work great.

I'm using control at 6 and consistency at 8. You really need to up consistency to control wild pitches and hit batters.

I haven't thrown a wild pitch or hit a batter since moving to default, the CPU has hit me twice, and thrown 1 wild pitch in 2 games.
There have been pitches in the dirt from me, but nothing past the catcher yet.

Thanks for the replies guys but I still have one question about classic pitching. I know when pitching you can either hold it down or just tap it. What are the differences between those and which one do you do? (hold or tap)?

I'm playing with Control at 3 and Consistency at 7

My pitching/hitting feel is perfect for me.

I think there will always be a few clicks here & there to account for user input and perception differences, but it appears lowering control and raising consistency is a popular route for classic pitchers. Who knows, I might have to get closer to your numbers Paris in time... of course just when I think I'm too good for the AI, they always put me in my place.
