Curious Find Regarding Fastballs

[Gordo]

When attempting to tweak a bit last night I was playing around with a few things with the Rays, primarily cosmetic. Just having had a game with my brother he brought in Badenhop and I thought his slider seemed a bit extreme. In looking at his actual pitch types I saw that he does not throw a FB. Since you cant really eliminate a FB at first I tried to have it emulate the sinker but it doesnt really do that. I went the other direction and gave his FB attributes ridiculously low values and voila! the FB doesnt show at all. However if you try to intentionally hit a batter, the game will crash. I think the 36 control and speed values may be the magic cut off number with this and need to play with it further.

give him 120MPH fastball and see what happen :)

hehe....would actually do it if possible. The top speed of the FB to the plate is not quite exactly what one might see, but then again you don't want to take the fun factor out.

Here's what I'm talking about. Setting speed and control at 36 did nothing.

I don't know if 120 is possible, but I know you can go much higher than 102 that MVPedit limits you to. I can't remember the max, but you can crank it up quite a bit if you edit the data files with notepad.
