So they are to be used sparingly just like in real cricket? Unless it's t20 where every other ball is a slower ball!

Yeah, that must be how it works. Say you had a Fast-Med bowler who can bowl up to around 85mph, if you used a slower ball it'd drop that down to between 60-75mph and dependent on how quickly you push the right stick it'll give a delivery between those two speeds. With a fast one you'll be be able to break your 'top' speed by a few mph. In my head that's how it should work.

Yeah, that was my understanding too. Perhaps it's to allow you a wider variation in speed, as in selecting the slower option would pre-pick a slower ball, but then your speed of moving the right stick would make the difference between bowling a pie or something that's just slightly slower and would be harder to pick.
That said, for the 'faster' option, unless there's a penalty for using it, if you're a fast bowler, wouldn't you always want to press that?
