SHOW noob with online question, please help

[Warner2BruceTD]

First year with the game, and loving it.

Sometimes while playing online, while pitching, I encounter situations where after selecting my pitch and setting the location, my pitching meter fails to appear. This never happens offline while playing the CPU or other humans.

I suspect it may have something to do with pitch guess, but I use pitch guess all the time vs my friend offline and he always has use of his meter.

I know that in last year's version, if you guessed the correct pitch and location, the pitcher would lose the use of the meter. I'm sure its the same in this year's game as well. If I'm not mistaken, it only happens in online games and doesn't affect offline games.

One of the reasons most everyone here plays with guess pitch turned off.

That's what I figured. Thanks.
