Make me feel better about lowering the pitch speed.

I play on All-Star, timing hitting. I HATE HATE HATE messing with any games sliders to go in my favor, because it always feels like cheating and ruins the game experience for me (it was even tough for me to finally realize that while they're are two levels above it, "All-star" is actually a legit challenge for "the show").

After a few weeks of horrendous results, I decided to lower the pitch speed from 5 to 4, and am finally getting great results. But I still feel like I'm cheating now. Make me feel better. Did you lower pitch speed?

I lowered it to 2 I believe. I enjoy the game, play it how you enjoy it. I enjoy it when I have a fair chance, and while some may think it's cheating or let their pride stay in their way, if you realize you have to lower pitch speed and do it you're going to have much more fun with the game.

While some may be able to keep up with the regular (or higher) pitch speed, I certainly can't and they have the pitch speed slider there so people can tailor the game for their skillset.

my sig says it all. Another thanks to Evan_OS for putting to words how I've always felt about my sports games.

Do what you gotta do, man.

I had Pitch Speed at 3 but just today bumped it up a tick to 4, as I was starting to crush most pitchers. We'll see if 4 is enough of a change or if I'll have to go back to default.

I liked dropping the speed b/c it allowed me to work on reading pitches, work the counts and wait for my pitch to hit and really drive it.

You are still hitting pretty much the fastest pitches in all of video games. Be proud.

I've got it set to 1. I don't care as I can now see the ball and hit it or take it! I simply couldn't see pitches on the higher speed. My eyes are old. Sliders are there to make the game playable for you.

That's why they put sliders in the game. Sports games have become so complex that not everyone can play at the same level. You shouldn't feel bad at all.

What I'd like to know is how anyone could possibly hit if the bumped the pitch speed way up.

Same for me!
