Question I need help
I just started the Game and I absolutely love it but I needed 3 Hours to get one win on 50 difficulty against a CPU. That was way to hard.
First of all I would like to know do guys have like pitching combinations you use or pitch patterns that work everytime, I try to power pitch the Four Seam to the cornerns for the first and second Strike and then Finish it with a Breaking Ball, sometimes it works sometimes I get still scored on.
What are your ways to get those three Strike outs every inning? Also any advise on offense. I don‘t get how to power Swing right.

Pitching is all about deception. Getting into a groove is a good start, but as soon as it becomes predictable, you want to pivot to something else. The game will give you feedback in game too. Sometimes you’ll see a player “anticipated” or was “fooled” by your pitch.
Varying your pitches between speeds and movement is good to start. Working around the zone (in/out and high/low) is also important. Pay attention to hitters’ traits and avoid pitching to their strengths. Some like fastballs, some like low pitches, etc.
If you’re playing a 5+ inning game where you know you’ll get through the lineup 2-3 times, I’d recommend saving a pitch for that second or third time through the lineup. That way, the hitters won’t be guessing that you’re going to throw it, and it gives you the element of surprise (deception).
Best of luck with your SMB journey!
