Pitch Parameter Scale Description
Initial Speed -30 ~ 0 Pitch speed at the point of release, measured as a differential from the 4SFB.
Speed Retained 0 ~ 4 How much speed is retained while the pitch travels to home plate. High value gives late life.
Horizontal Movement 0 ~ 30 Amount of horizontal movement
Vertical Movement 0 ~ 30 Amount of vertical movement
Sharpness of Break 0 ~ 7 The higher this value the later and sharper the break.

I was wondering specifecly what each of these do? I'm not sure what these each mean.
Also I'm making an origanel slow curveball and I want a big drove but also pretty late. I will try to upgrade up to 10-12 times.

Where did you find the scale description stuff? I think they explain themselves pretty well up there.

I looked in the wiki, it had it right there, but i was just looking for a deeper explanation so I can understand how to make better pitches

Well, inital speed is how fast the pitch is when it comes out of the pitcher's hand. How well the pitch maintains it's speed is maesured by the Speed Retained. Horizontal movement and Vertical Movement are self-explanatory. Sharpness affects how late the set amount of break occurs, which means it has the same amount of break over a less amount of time.

So your saying with the sharper the break, it will break the same amount of distances just more delayed of a start of break?

Yes, which generally makes it tougher to read which breaking pitch is being thrown and makes it tougher to adjust once the batter does determine the pitch.
