    I would like a mechanic in the game, that if someone bunt dances too much, they get stuck in the bunt motion.

    I would like a mechanic in the game where if people pitch out of the zone all the time none of their pitche[censored] the strike zone rest of the game.

    (Hence the reason people bunt dance is usually an indicator to the pitcher to "freakin pitch the ball" and stop trying to make everybody chase!)

    Oh good, this again.

    It’s the beta forum all over again 🤦🏽‍♂️

    Um...it's called "expanding the strike zone" and it's been a thing since baseball was invented.

    In fact, the current trend in real baseball are less pitches in the strike zone which is resulting in more strikeouts.

    I am very wall aware how baseball works i have a family member in the HOF i grew up around sports but ty for trying to explain to me, i truly do appreciate it!

    Happy to help!

    In all your experience, how many times have you seen bunt dancing in real baseball versus pitchers throwing out of the zone?

    Oh and ask Nolan Ryan (and his 2,795 walks) about staying in the zone and "pitching to contact".

    See you are trying to validate your point with real pitchers in real life and sorry to burst you bubble but this game play will never be an exact simulation of the real game it is feasibly impossible.

    No it doesn't need to be exact, just somewhat realistic.

    Bunt dancing is not realistic, expanding the zone is.

    You said you wanted a play a "legit" game. How is bunt dancing "legit"?

    Depends on what you are referring to? if somebody constantly throws out of the zone with no attempt to get it in the zone do you think its fair for a person to throw that many pitches out of the zone on purpose without being penalized?

    Why should you be rewarded for swinging at bad pitches? Why should your opponent be penalized for you swing at garbage?

    They are penalized by walking batters, that's free runners on base. Their stamina and confidence also goes down.

    Do you think it's fair that a batter can swing at everything and not be penalized?

    I absolutely do not think they should be rewarded for swinging at a bad pitch all the time, but guess what to go back your point. Ever since baseball has been around there are those who have gotten hit from swinging at pitches they should have left alone. so how is that different?

    There is already a penalty for guys that don’t pitch in the zone ever, if you walk someone 8 times in a row you get mercy ruled.

    Someone suggested that top players should have more input on how the highest levels of the game play over lower level players (just the highest level mind you, nothing about low levels) and the dude [censored] near lost his mind because of it.

    It's not. That's why in this game, we all get hits off pitches out of the zone sometimes.

    I'm just not seeing your logic here.

    You appear to want pitchers to be penalized for consistently throwing out of the zone, but batters not to be penalized for consistently swinging at bad pitches, is that correct?

    Yeah, I remember that one. There were like three others that same day about how pitching outside the zone is cheese and how he's better than upper level players, but can't prove it because Babe Ruth isn't a reward for making PR and how everyone except him has sunk millions of real people dollars into stubs in order to win and that it's unfair and blah blah blah. I can't tell if he's a troll or just a crotchety old man, tbh.

    Because you never take a pitch, if you weren’t a free swinger you’d have a much better experience and wouldn’t be 300 games under .500

    I would like a mechanic in the game where if people pitch out of the zone all the time none of their pitche[censored] the strike zone rest of the game.

    (Hence the reason people bunt dance is usually an indicator to the pitcher to "freakin pitch the ball" and stop trying to make everybody chase!)

    Um...it's called "expanding the strike zone" and it's been a thing since baseball was invented.

    In fact, the current trend in real baseball are less pitches in the strike zone which is resulting in more strikeouts.

    I am very wall aware how baseball works i have a family member in the HOF i grew up around sports but ty for trying to explain to me, i truly do appreciate it!

    Happy to help!

    In all your experience, how many times have you seen bunt dancing in real baseball versus pitchers throwing out of the zone?

    Oh and ask Nolan Ryan (and his 2,795 walks) about staying in the zone and "pitching to contact".

    See you are trying to validate your point with real pitchers in real life and sorry to burst you bubble but this game play will never be an exact simulation of the real game it is feasibly impossible.

    No it doesn't need to be exact, just somewhat realistic.

    Bunt dancing is not realistic, expanding the zone is.

    You said you wanted a play a "legit" game. How is bunt dancing "legit"?

    Depends on what you are referring to? if somebody constantly throws out of the zone with no attempt to get it in the zone do you think its fair for a person to throw that many pitches out of the zone on purpose without being penalized? Video game purposes only

    They are penalized by walking batters, that's free runners on base. Their stamina and confidence also goes down.

    Do you think it's fair that a batter can swing at everything and not be penalized?

    I absolutely do not think they should be rewarded for swinging at a bad pitch all the time, but guess what to go back your point. Ever since baseball has been around there are those who have gotten hit from swinging at pitches they should have left alone. so how is that different?

    It's not. That's why in this game, we all get hits off pitches out of the zone sometimes.

    I'm just not seeing your logic here.

    You appear to want pitchers to be penalized for consistently throwing out of the zone, but batters not to be penalized for consistently swinging at bad pitches, is that correct?

    no not correct whatsoever!

    There is already a penalty for guys that don’t pitch in the zone ever, if you walk someone 8 times in a row you get mercy ruled.

    And if that is how you want to get a win then so be it. But see i buy the game to actually play a strategic baseball game and i have a better playing experience in DD vs CPU than i have all year in any h2h matchup.

    No online game is going to be like playing the cpu on rookie, to expect that is ridiculous

    I would like a mechanic in the game, that if someone bunt dances too much, they get stuck in the bunt motion.

    (Hence the reason people bunt dance is usually an indicator to the pitcher to "freakin pitch the ball" and stop trying to make everybody chase!)

    Oh good, this again.

    It’s the beta forum all over again 🤦🏽‍♂️

    I can't comprehend the logic this dude uses, man.

    Someone suggested that top players should have more input on how the highest levels of the game play over lower level players (just the highest level mind you, nothing about low levels) and the dude [censored] near lost his mind because of it.

    Yeah, I remember that one. There were like three others that same day about how pitching outside the zone is cheese and how he's better than upper level players, but can't prove it because Babe Ruth isn't a reward for making PR and how everyone except him has sunk millions of real people dollars into stubs in order to win and that it's unfair and blah blah blah. I can't tell if he's a troll or just a crotchety old man, tbh.

    I honestly think both, I think he’s an older dude that’s trolling, the way he tries to interact with devs and mods here makes me think he’s an older dude and then stuff like this thread makes me think he’s trying to troll everyone

    so easy for you to pass judgement about someone not having a civil convo. And then when i do and start making points you try to change the posts put it into your own words.
    I thought this was a "community forum?" So i am not allowed to try to talk to and interact with devs? Then please give me the definition of a community?
