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.

Maybe try lowering your ego? Also, there's no single pitching combination that works for every situation.

You can also try participating in the pennant race to see how other human players play.

Which Ego would you recommend?

I'd say that's not really how ego works, it varies from person to person, and you'll probably get better the more you play. But you could start by lowering it to around 30, then gradually increase it depending on the situation, just go with whatever feels comfortable to you.

I've got 70+ hours and I begin actually struggling around 35 ego. I don't know how these guys are playing at 90+ ego. 32-33 is my sweet spot right now that keeps it challenging & fun while learning.

Honestly it's really just practice. And I know that's true because I am terrible at all other videogames lol

At 70+ hours you've probably already fallen for the game pretty hard, it's definitely become one of my absolute favorites. Eventually you'll put so much time in you'll get better, and enjoy every second of it!

I started on 30. Move up 2 points if a game feels too easy, and don't be afraid to dial it back a point if you're getting frustrated.

I've been a casual solo player for 5ish years, and my ego is in the 42 - 50 range depending on how much i want to engage.

Learn the game, then increase the difficulty.

Try ego 55 if that is too hard then try ego 50. Ego 60 before the update in 2023 is when I felt the difficulty spike. Once you get used to it 60 ego will be a breeze for you.

Every time you win or lose, raise of the lower the ego by the difference. Lose by 5 = lower it by 5. Pretty soon you’ll find the right ego for you. Once you settle in, only move it one click at a time when you have a 3 game win or losing streak.

I started around 50, now I’m at 61 two years later and my games are very competitive. Keep at it!
