    Quick pitching might be the most cheesy part about playing online. It's a baseball video game, not a basketball video game. Whenever I play a guy who brings this cheese, I will hit R2, step out of the box or pause the game repeatedly to slow things down.

    It also causes lag, or so I have found, when you have runners on base. I use R2 so that everything "catches up" and it reduces the lag.

    The Quick Pitching complainers and the "Throw only strikes (strike-only)" complainers are one and the same!

    It screws control up big time. Let them quick pitch and take your walk or homerun

    What’s the point in taking your time? Just makes the game go longer.

    It's a baseball game. What's your rush?

    Some people only have so much time to play and wanna get as many games in as they can. I’m fine with either way, you have to adjust. Past or present doesn't matter, this has always been done by some in the MLB. Holding R2 is very stinky cheese man lol

    If someone is NOT quick pitching, why would someone pause the game repeatedly, sometimes for a second or two or some for a minute and a half after every batter?

    I know if im not familiar with a batter i will check the quirks see if he's a "first pitch hitter" or good w/ breaking balls etc, i imagine on the other side you get a quick menu pause every few batters sorry about it guys i need to know THE QUIRKS. EDIT it also shows your batting average so i know to pitch around a guy or not.

    Should we message people between each pitch and make sure they are ready?

    You make a good point. I like to eat sunflower seeds, scratch my [censored], and look at my wife for signs in between pitches because that's baseball. God forbid a video game play like a video game.

    The only time quick pitching was actually an issue was back in 17 when you could quick pitch to the opposing pitcher and steal a strike before they could pinch hit. That issue has been solved, so people can pitch as quickly to me as they want. I got [censored] to do.

    Nothing wrong with quick pitch it a runner is on base.

    It’s a video game. I don’t have time to play a 3 and a half hour game because that’s how long a ‘’real baseball’’ game lasts.
