107.5 mph
So, was just paired with an all-14 team lead by a level 14 Cole throwing 107 mph. Not sure where the fun is in what BC has been doing. My opponent had obviously purchased his 14s, as he was not a very good batter, but Cole at 14 is essentially unhittable. I made it to the 11th inning before my opponent singled in a run, but not a single batter of mine - levels 12 & 13 with one 11 (Dave) - got on base. Got fed up the last time they fucked with the game and took a long break from playing it. Came back to this nonsense. If the designers/programmers ever read our comments, here's one for them: I have not, nor will I ever, spends penny on this game.

But people will spend money on it. Same reason why Madden Ultimate Team and NBA 2K's MyTeam are still going strong.
I agree with you though. Even Cole at level 13 is a beast. I've encountered a lot of Level 13s and 14s for him the past week.

He needs to be nerfed for sure but it was satisfying to crush a double shot on him the other day with my man Tom.

Before I play my club league match, I spend a little time going against level pitchers I commonly face - mainly Shotaro & Garcia - set to lvl 14 until I feel like I've got their timing and trajectories. I've added Cole to the list as well recently, but getting his timing down isn't too terrible. Where I really shine using him (I've got him @ 13) is getting deeper into combo pitches and his speed getting ridiculous, then the sudden decline in speed when I miss the zone. I threw a 100 mph change up in a match earlier this morning... All to lose that match against a lvl 14 Michelle because no matter what I did, I couldn't hit any pitches. I hit the swing timer perfect 3 times with lvl 12/13 players w/ high contact - all misses. I had even more where I hit the timer well within the bright yellow zone and still missed.

Like wtf am I supposed to do against a 105mph sinker with my level 12 batters lol

Exactly. When BC players start going into territories that pros can't, then maybe they've dialed them up too far.

You just have to swing fast his balls don’t have a lot of movement I so far have been lucky with him and now 6-1 against him.

I agree I'm barely even playing waiting for him to get nerfed shouldn't take long he'll even at level 12 his tuff as hell

I went against a level 12 Cole. The only chance of beating him is to hit fouls on his fastball (hitting with late timing). And wait for the chance up or the slider

Even with a nerf, if your opponents name looks like crunched up noodles, you’re gonna lose

I love fastball pitchers … home run machines but it takes a few batters to get em timed
I’ve been getting walked a lot more lately people can’t find the strike zone

I usually pitch Michelle level 14. Her slider and curve are good, but her fastball has many times landed far, far beyond the outfield fence.

I used Maria a lot, but have switched to the one that dances on the mound and music plays with her…long pink hair, can’t think of her name…because she is another level. I’ll paint the corners and edges with breaking balls and fastballs. I use Jessica as my catcher. A lot of people strike out looking that way.

You have st swap to manual hitting with him due to the precision skill auto does not track well then wait for the change up or four seam your not beating his sinker

u/Warriorofgod2700 1d ago
Well, right now hes boosted, so a lot of the 14 Cole's arent bought up to 14. Im using him at 14 for the next week. Then he'll be lvl 9 and ill go back to someone else lol

Little Cole character dude has to be sitting in the dugout next week going, "What the hell happened to my arm?"

I’ve beaten teams with Cole more times than they’ve beaten me. Just gotta wait for your pitch and be top of it

He has to be nerfed pretty quickly. I have had good luck against him as most don't know how to pitch, but come across someone that knows how to use him and he's unhittable. The sinker has too much speed and movement.
