Throwing Home To 2nd Trick

[underatednoobie]

I agree... i really think they put it in the code... not a better jump necessarily, but maybe they were implying somehow the catcher had to take that extra time to recover before he throws?

Or maybe, just fucking maybe, when there's a "knuckle ball in the dirt" it means that the pitch was going slower.

first of all it shows you the speed when it hits the dirt too, and the ball disappears a little sooner before it gets to the catcher... there is no proof in my mind that says a ball that hits the dirt is any slower

but lets say a ball taht hits the dirt goes the same speed as knuckle that stays in the air... i think you get a better jump (slower catcher reaction or whatever you say it is)

Why would any ball hit me?

Also, I think he's saying a knuckle ball--not specifically a ball that sinks.  All balls that hit the "dirt" are knuckles and are slower than non-knuckle balls.

Exactly what i was saying... i was saying 2 knuckes at the same speed, batter mite get the better jump becuase the game implies the catcher bobbles or something of that sort.

Yes, because RBI Baseball is so advanced that it takes into account a catcher's defensive ratings and their propensity for bobbling balls.

it takes into account the fact that you are farther towards the base when stealing if the pitch is slower... so why do you say it's not possible that it adds a little time for a ball that hits the dirt

and it even has players slide head first back into bases... and you're saying its not advanced... shame on you
