Anyone think guess pitch is kinda stupid?

Its not realistic in comparsion to real baseball. Hitters dont get a blinking signal or flashing sign that lets them know what pitch is coming before its even thrown. I dont like using it because it feels cheap and unrealistic.

Not to mention whenever I turn it on it doesnt even work. I guess fastball and the fastball comes but I dont get anything.

I don't use the feature as I don't care for it and as you said it's not realistic. I just look for a specific pitch in a certain location like a real MLB hitter would do.

The reason it doesn't work is probably because you're guessing location along with pitch type, and getting that part wrong. When that happens, you get no feedback. To get the feedback you have to be 100% correct in what you guess - in other words, only guess pitch type OR location correctly, or guess BOTH correctly.

Going back to the first topic, that is exactly how a lot of the people who don't use Guess Pitch justify that decision. In the end it's a personal choice, but I will say that the gameplay is intended to be balanced even with GP on (in other words, the timing window is narrowed to make up for the extra information you get from the feedback). Also, you can turn the feedback completely off, but still use GP with the bonuses and penalties by using the "No Feedback" option.

Finally, for more info on this check out the Hitting-Guess Pitch section of the In-game strategy guide (pause the game, go to player utilities, upper right square.) It breaks down how to use it, and, more importantly, how it works.

Yeah I honestly don't use/like it at all.

GP isn't my cup of tea but I don't think it's kinda stupid, it's just not all options are for everyone.

I used to use GP all the time, but after trying to learn to recognize pitches and guess pitch myself without help of system, I stopped using it.

I don't think its stupid, as I believe its a great tool for novice baseball game players or a great tool to learn how to recognize pitches.

Greatest thing about it, is that it can be turned off!

No real life doesn't have a flashing sign, but real life MLB batters are a whole lot better at picking up pitches than us PS4-jockies. That said, I don't use GP, but I don't think it is stupid, just a mechanism on a video game to give us an advantage.
