But that experience doesn’t come easily.

Meter

Meter pitching feels a bit old-school, but in a good way, I think.

If it helps, think of this like kicking in Madden.

That does mean that lesser or fatigued pitchers will have a harder time, however.

Pure analog

Pure analog pitching can be considered a mix of pinpoint and meter pitching.

Pulse

Pulse is probably the worst option in the bunch.

It’s simple, yet doesn’t make a strong case for why it’s even offered.

In theory, the high skill ceiling of pinpoint pitching means great players will eventually prefer it.

But pulse is just unwieldy with no upside.

Pulse pitching is hardly more than a carnival game and should be ignored.

With classic pitching you select a pitch, its location, and deliver.
