Dee-Nee Forums

It sure seems like if you hit a fastball on the meat of the bat, you have a better chance of going yard than if you did the same with a regular speed pitch.  That said, many tenets we hold true in RBI (and other games like Tecmo) turn out not being true when you dig into the code.

Turd can correct me here, but I don't think we've analyzed this portion of RBI at the code level.

What say you dee-nee?

I think pitch speed increases hit power but have no evidence for it.

If that were the case, do you believe that the hardest pitcher to hit for power is when they completely run out of speed?

I'm not sure.  On the flipside of the "speed = power" argument, I've seen a lot of cases of dead-tired pitchers getting teed off on (there have been some TREMENDOUS comebacks in FRBI games), but I don't know if some of that is just the fact that it's easier to correctly line up a slower pitch to hit on the sweet spot.

Yeah I don't know either.  Sometimes in straight pitch you get a dead pitcher who you just can't fkn hit.  Would be interesting to find that out because if true, probably best in straight pitch to start with a reliever, throw nothing but slowballs and never take them out.

When I witnessed Gooden hit a walzie homerun, it was off a power pitcher and a hard FB. I don't remember the pitcher, but I do remember it was a hard fastball off a power pitcher.

Someone should dig up Nightwulf's corpse and ask him.

















































Hopefully he's not actually dead...

Nightwulf <--- indeed.

Turd could probably figure this all out but he's busy fkn around with his new in home theater setup.
