MVP Baseball 2005 - PC - pitching with the keyboard

Hello,

I'm currently having trouble pitching using the keyboard.

How do you pitch to the outside of the strike zone? I pressed the right
shift key to select a pitch location outside the strike zone. However,
when I pitched it (by tapping the keyboard at the green zone in the
pitching meter), the pitch was inside the strike zone which the AI
batter promptly deposited in the outfield for a hit.

What is the ideal way to pitch using a keyboard? Do you press the
keyboard at the green zone of the pitching meter? I found out that the
batter usually hits the pitches when I do this. I also noticed that
when I tap the keyboard at the edge of the brown zone of the pitching
meter, the pitches are usually at the edges of the strike zone which is
ideal. I also tried experimenting tapping the keyboard at the blue
zone of the pitching meter and as expected the pitch location was
inconsistent (sometimes outside the strike zone or at the wheelhouse of
the hitter).

Any ideas short of buying a new game controller?

Thanks.

Leo

Buy a used game controller?
