95% of my pitches were in the K zone for you to hit,again you couldnt catch up with heat around the zone,so I would break off a 70ish mph curveball in the zone and you would swing way out in front.
That happens in real life.
Your biggest problem Konex is you cant seem to make any contact with fastballs which makes changeups and curveballs easier to f with you.
Only pitchs you would hit of mine were the slider and sinker so I didnt throw them much.
edit- you also need to learn to hit with the hitstick,classic makes it harder imo.I find a small button delay having to use A to swing.

Ok, we've found our first cheeser/quitter.
I played Birdbomb just now and I'm destroying him 14-2 (high winds and the ball is carrying) and he quits on me.
He also subbed in Arroyo (another starter) when it was 5-2 and when I called him on it, he said he was gonna do it anyways cos he "can't being in a reliever now". I told him I'd beat him anyways and post here :lol
Anyways, he complained about me throwing low in the strikezone for groundouts. I'm like WTF, why would I throw up especially in breezy conditions? I told him to not swing if he felt they were bad pitches then he says, "why so I can get a strike?" :lol
I hope the stats upload so y'all can see my balls/strikes ratio...

Wow...all i can say...wow.
1st inning, Matszui(sp) jacks a homer, 1-0.
2ns inning Edwin jacks a homer, 1-1.
4th inning, Yanks hit like 3 homers.
5th inning, they jack 2 off the foul pole
later on they jack another off the foul post, and 2 more in left field
11+-2, so i say f it, take the win.
What im confused about, is the pitching rules. Are there rules as to the kinds of pitches that can be thrown? i guarantee 90% of the pitches thrown were down out of the strike zone, ending in about 20 ground outs. The rules say
So does this count on pitch location too? i personally don't thing it's a sim game when 1 person is pitching around the zone, mixing everything up, while the other pitches to 1-2 spots the whole game. I'm mainly pissed at the HRs that were hit, but i do think it's alittle cheesey to pitch down and away everytime, and when it's an 0-2 count, throw the ball 5 feet out of hte strike zone. I know what people will say "dont swing" but it's hard to eye the ball sometimes, especially on sliders and palm balls that break like crazy.

dude, how egotistical are you? your 1st post was completely 1 sided, making it seem like i was the only 1 complaining, and like you called your victory and whatnot. I believe you messaged me 1st whining because i subbed arroyo in for harang bc harang was stinking it up in the 4TH inning. if i had won the game, i wouldn't have used either 1 in my next game. god forbid i don't want to use the reds horrid middle relief in the 4th inning. We've squashed everything on aim(to my knowledge), yet you come on here and try to boast your win like it's going to make you a better man. OMG you beat the reds with the Yankees. I've seen you on the game almost 24/7 since it came out practicing. good job. *high five* go get some sleep

Konex isnt very good so I dont know what to say He struck out 22 times againt me and like I said earlier I gave Konex pitchs to hit in the zone the whole game.
I still think its weak to quit and bring in a starter when you should have gone to your pen.
Konex you do need to pitch a little more in the zone if we are playing by those rules.
I just had a great random game with someone and I made a wall climb in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs,the 2run hr would have won the game for the dude.
Luke "Skywalker" Scott <3 wins the game for me.

Cloudy said:I was guessing and the wind was ridiculous. I don't think I'm good at all
Wind does play a part in the game,it was smart that you were pitching lower to try to get ground ball outs,but there are ways to pitch low and not throw balls out of the zone all day *not saying you did cause of course I didnt see the game*.You can start the break of the pitch higher up if its offspeed and aiming a fastball low in the zone shouldnt be hard at all.
You are allowed to throw outside though but not all game...if we are playing by these old rules.

I'm not taking sides,calm down
Also Id like to say when the servers are up and working well,this game is the best baseball game ever when it comes to lag free online play.
The game I just played had no hints of lag at all,pretty awesome.I didnt feel any in our game either Konex.

Since Zep doesn't wanna drop the speed, it's the only way to play right now. Anyone who says otherwise is lying..
Obviously you can make a somewhat educated guess with game situation, strikecount and pitching tendencies. But anyone who says they are seeing the ball then reacting is full of shit :lol
Well..the fact that when me and Shawn played he had 4HR's totalling 9runs. I have 3HR's totalling in 4runs. I'll be damned if im dropping the speed on pitches, right now. 70 is fine...
If anything gets dropped, its the power slider...but thats at 10(default).
And Konex, just because me,matrix,dcx,shawn can read pitches pretty good doesnt mean you go low and away all game...What matrix said was true, if you wanna do that mix it up by starting high in the zone or practice to see where your pitches break.
For BB, dont quit games...That shit aint flying, especially bringing in starting pitchers. Only time I would allow that would be the playoffs in certain situations and we're not at that point yet.

Ooh, i know not the quit games, and i told konex i wasn't quitting, that he could have the win. But either way i'll finish the game next time.
I'd say drop the slider. there were about 10 homers in me and konex's game, 2 by me 8 by him. that's wayyyy unrealistic, ball carrying or not.

I just played Konex with speed set to 65. I took a lot more pitches than the first time around and struck out a lot less as well. I still got Konex to strike out in double figures.
All his runs came on homeruns but my 4 came off normal base hits and a Konex fielding gaffe.
Shrug, I haven't played a lot on All Star yet but I felt more in control in that game than I did in the previous.

I am totally against slowing down the pitching. I am already scoring in high numbers right now, and slowing things down will only enhance my offense. You guys just need to practice more!

Hey Zep, I looked in the Tournaments and then Invitations but there was nothing there. Maybe the invite got screwed up during all the down server time on their end.

I can do that but please be gentle...unlike Konex.....:lol
I'll go ahead and hop on my 360, play some Crackdown or one of the XBLA games and then when you jump on, I'll get into MLB.

Well no one here is going to like playing Dm :lol He hit 5 of my batters so he had to keep bringing pitchers in and he throws far more outside the strikezone than Konex.
The fact I had to keep facing new pitchers was annoying.
Dm I believe you were trying to throw sliders every time you hit me.

Yea you better get used to it quickly,that shit wont fly in league play :lol
Felt like I was playing you in Show minus the wild pitches and the fact you hit good against my pen.
Your wildness makes for a bizzare game of baseball

Juan and myself had an interesting game. I managed to tie the game 4 all in the bottom of the ninth off a solo shot homerun. Then the top of the eleven happened :lol
