And I see it completely the other way. I quit doing the little ball because it was becoming boooring! Everyone thought they were the next superstar and they all had to act like the overpaid babies they saw on TV.

Granted, I wish the girls would act like the players they see on TV.

However, the only thing that is quick is the pitching and batter's reaction time. Nothing else is different than any other game of softball. Of course, you'll have your FP elitist who believe that only their game is the real game.

To those people I say go to a SP or MP National Tournament/Championship. Yes, the ball is easier to hit, but once it is, those games involve just as much skill and speed as the FP game. That easy pitch can be hit to any field with ease, the batted ball more often travels faster and farther than those in a FP game.

There are rarely "pitcher's duels" which means more action more often in a game which is usually concluded in a shorter period of time the FP game is.

But that is just my preference.
