For those on the fence about max speeds......

It's incredibly more difficult using the fish eye view.

Personally, I think retro or MLB 15 hitting view works better IF maxing out pitch speeds.

Isn’t that the whole point of max pitch speeds?

First 3 games with the new 23 rosters and pitch speeds at 10. 7-1, 6-0 and 6-1. All losses . Only 4 hits in each of the 3 games. Each game felt exactly the same. Going to need more time to adjust to the pitch speed change. Not sure how I fell about it yet but I’m clearly not seeing the ball well

There is an adjustment period no doubt and hey….if you don’t like it just do you. I have always said the pitch speed slider is a personal preference setting.

If 10/10 is not working try 7/7 or 8/8 see where your sweet spot is.

If it is 6/5 like we have been rolling forever then so be it.

I am giving it a real shot and a sample size and will report back.

Decided to play as the Padres within the same Yankees franchise with the 2023 set. Since I do 30 team control I switched to them.

13 hits and an 8-5 win with pitch speeds at 10. Now that Padres team has some hitters on it so I am not getting my hopes up but I felt like I was getting my timing down. Felt real good to swing and miss at pitches I was not looking for and even better to punish mistakes.

I use a custom retro cam, myself. Retro cam is the most scale-to-size, and thus works best when maxing pitch speeds out. When you use fish-eye, everything feels so much further away, so the pitch speeds are naturally faster.

Ex.: max speeds on fish-eye will seem faster than max on retro.

My pitch speed observations from my 59 year-old eyes

Started a spring training game with my Phillies with pitch speeds at 8/8. Tigers started Boyd whose fastball tops out at 92 mph. I hit ok, scored 4 runs with hits primarily off field, but did pull some fastballs. Then they brought in a guy who topped out at 96. Was usually pretty late on the high heat, but I was able to pull a 94 mph heater to right-centre for a homer with Harper

Then they brought in n a guy who threw 97, so I upped speeds to 10/10 to see what I could do. Yikes! I couldn’t catch up to the heater and if I did it was way late. I tried it for 2 innings and it seemed too much for me. My issue was that every pitch seemed to be the same speed so I ended up swinging or check swinging on every pitch.

So back down to 8/8. Had a bit more success against a 96 mph pitcher, but still seemed to have an issue differentiating between fastballs and off speed pitches. So I tried 8/7, and that seemed to work really well. I was able to determine fastball vs off speed pitches and was able to determine strikes and balls a lot better. It looks like I need to keep the off speed slider one lower than the fastball slider.

I’m going to test 8/7 for another few spring training games, but it looks like that might be my sweet spot

Fish Eye is perfect for me. Love the view, read tue ball extremely well from it.

Totally digging 10/10 on Fish Eye. It’s like a new game.

So pumped.
