Maximum Effort Pitches

[striper_43]

Does anyone understand how these work? It seems almost random to me. For some reason I throw these max effort pitches without even trying to all the time. Can anyone help me?

What style of pitching are you using? Analog depends on how fast you move the stick up, meter is determined by how far past the line you go.

It's how to tell how much mustard you're putting behind a pitch with Analog Pitching. Is there any indicator? I've heard with Classic, there's a rumble with full effort pitches.

I know it's the faster you move up, but I don't know if I'm accidentally moving too fast all the time and if, when I try to throw full strength, if it's fast enough.

I am using analog. The way you tell if it is a max effort pitch is that the meter will turn from white to yellow. That is the only way I can explain it. It just seems like my "normal speed" is too fast for a regular effort pitch.

I thought that was to indicate you had hit your spot on the top ball accuracy marker. In fact, I'm almost positive it is.

i struggle with this as well. Seems when I am trying to take speed off of it it still ramps it up there. I probably just need more practice but can be frustrating. Not as much as hitting is thou,lol

Mabye, but then what indicates the max effort. Does anyone understand this game mechanic?

It seems that a lot of people are confused about it.
