I stopped looking at star level... i weigh pretty heavily HIT for batters and STUFF for pitchers .In fact, when I know I need XP, I hope for high stars and LOW hit or stuff so I can trade them in without remorse. lol
If you watch the pitch carefully, balls in the dirt LOOK like they're coming in way faster than a fastball in the strikezone... I often find if I'm saying to myself "oh crap!" it's a good idea to not swing lol it's the same with the fastballs high... they look a tad SLOWER coming in.
WalkOff Hero is easily one of my favorite events. Yes, it makes my blood pressure boil (but not as much as CvC)... and I agree that the metrics could be changed to not frustrate players as much. Love the concept though!
Having a ton of trouble making contact with Verlander. Any tips on which pitches I might have success hitting? Obviously not curve, but timing the sinker? Or two-seamer?
