Classic pitching find.... for timing

So forgive me if this has been mentioned before but I found a "hack" for classic pitching and when to release the button. You know how every pitcher has a different wind up from the stretch and reg pitching so the timing of when you release the button is different for each pitcher. Well I found a way to tell when to release the button for each pitcher... Heres how. First select analog pitching and count how many seconds it take to get to the line at the bottom and when you get it perfect go back to classic and hold the button for the same amount of seconds. Once you change pitchers or go into the stretch you have to go back to anaolog and get the timing down again. It takes about 20 sec its worth it if you like classic pitching and are getting upset with the timing. I hope this made sense and if this has been mentiopned before sorry

Doesn't the controller vibrate when you're supposed to release it?

I did not know that I just tried it and it seemed like the vibration comes almost after the ball is released.

I can't remember. Vibration might be for velocity or something like that.

The vibration-point on classic is max-effort.

I tend to watch when the footplant occurs to place my timing-point.

Re: Classic pitching find.... for timing

Guys...I've been using classic pitching for years. I am curious about whether timing matters. This year I decided to just tap the button and not worry about timing. I have seen no difference in outcomes. I still get my Ks and walks and no one is launching balls at any faster rate than when I used timing. Is there any info from SDS on whether timing really matters?

I really think the only difference is if you hold til the vibration. When I do that with a fastball, it’s usually a little faster and usually off target some. I’ll do that with two strikes to try and get a swing/miss.

Try the method I am using it really does make it better and each pitcher has a different release point
