Agreed - palmballs are awesome. Some of my arrange team will throw them, but you will draft players now and again that throw them.

I might have a bias against forkballs. I can get ground outs with it, but have a really tough time getting strikeouts, even with a level 4 forkball, although right before I lost my Wii, I was having some success throwing forkballs up in the zone.

The Knuckle curve and slurve are other pitches I just can't seem to use effectively. Never used a pitcher regularly who threw a fosh or a circle change.


If you ever play as the marines(2012 game) try out Seth Greisinger, he has a circle change up. I think the key to using it is setting the guy up effectively, when I played 2011 success mode I had a level 5 circle change and constantly struck guys out.


On one hand, I Appreciate what you're saying – maybe if I got my forkball, knuckle curve, or slurve to level five, that might make a difference. On the other hand, if you need to get to level five for a pitch to be effective, I am not sure it's worthwhile. For me, changeups and curveballs can be effective at level two. I can throw an effective palmball And slow curve at level one. Splitters, screwballs, sinkers, Shuuto, and sliders – level three. My Sinking fastballs and cut fastballs can induce grounders at level three, but at level four, can be Strikeout pitches.

The level 5 forkball I got with Masami Komatsu is flat out nasty. If you start it off in the strike zone and have it break into the dirt with 2 strikes, it'll be a strike out pitch 75% of the time.

I think most strikeouts can be had on high fastballs or throwing a breaking pitch near the dirt or the bottom of the zone, I've only had this happen on success mode but it is possible.

If you're using shortcut mode, an hour-and-half, but on normal mode probably 3 hours.

Just finished my super-utility Kenjiro Okui, 2FFEABA. He also plays every position.
