Why is it called top speed in this game? I mean, you can't get their top speed without mashing the A button and draining the pitcher's stamina. Pitchers have a top speed of 94, and then I bring them in a game and they are throwing 86. :nonono: That part of the game really annoys me. I had Chuck Norris pitching one game, 105 top speed, and the highest speed I got without mashing the A button was 97. :x Why is it like this?

I don't know, but Battler makes it so that your pitches go closer to Top Speed without mashing the A button, I think.

Shrug.

The Japanese games are WAY better at this- while I have no pitchers above 147 km/h (about 91 mph), they're throwing at or one tick below that speed.

I'm pretty sure Norris has Battler. But anyway, that's good to know. :wink:

That'd be nice, AgentP.

Yeah the Japanese games have a better idea of what top speed is anyways, A guy who throws 93 will be just a tick or two off the radar on mostly every fastball, and the top speed only gets really reduced when you guy is blue or purple faced.

Dish is right about battler, motivation plays a small part as well plus consistency 4 ability. But I agree it is ever so difficult to ever reach the pitcher's top speed even given abilities and motivation at their highest. very frustrating :(

If you get a pitching motion like Alvin or Sittch you have a long time to smash A button which will give you your top speed

Yeah, but that drains your stamina.

Are you saying it's wrong to talk to a bag of Skittles? Because if so, I'm going to need to rethink a lot of things. :P

He is correcting you. The jumping happy face is not purple, it is pink.

Also, *throw
