5 second timer between pitches seems a bit excessive. Also not everyone wants to sit there and take over an hour for a game so try to understand why people try not to take long between pitches? You can't ask people to try and understand your side without extending the same courtesy
Then live with R2 holding. I’m not going to let someone throw 10 pitches in 3 seconds like it’s a machine gun. If you don’t want a timer, R2 is the best way to make both sides happy.
What exactly is wrong with a pitcher working quickly and how is that anything but a good thing? I use R2 a bit because there’s some useful info there, but once you’ve gathered that info, let’s play the [censored] game. It’s not like you’re a real hitter in an actual MLB game. What are you possibly doing with that extra time when you’re holding R2?
Exactly and in a real game the pitcher does not have to wait for a hitter to be ready. They can quick pitch all the want as long as the batter is in the box and ump is ready.
Then allow me to stand outside the batter box like in real life.
press down on the pad it calls timeout like in real life
Give me the ability to do it with every pitch just like you have the ability to quick pitch with every pitch.
You should already be ready to hit. When pitcher is ready to pitch that is the bottom line it is baseball, It is a video game. There is no need to hold R2 to the fullest time every pitch of the game. I am bad a hitting in this game but I am good enough this year to be above 500. You must be really bad at hitting if you have to hold R2 using directional. At least those who use analog explained why they do it. You have no excuse except you are not ready to hit.
No your wrong, it’s when the batter is ready in real life, not the pitcher. You really ended your argument with your ignorance on that one.
Do you watch baseball, The pitcher pitches when ump is ready, The batter has to call time and even if batter calls time the ump does not have to grant. The pitcher controls the tempo of the game.If the batter is in the box and not ready the pitcher can pitch the ball. the batter does not have to be ready for a pitcher to pitch.
The official rule says the batter has to be ready.
They have to be in the box not actually have to be ready, The ump is ready the pitcher ready then the pitcher can pitch, some batter are in the box but not actually ready and the ump will call the pitch.
Rule 8.05(e) Comment: A quick pitch is an illegal pitch. Umpires will judge a quick pitch as one delivered before the batter is reasonably set in the batter's box. With runners on base the penalty is a balk; with no runners on base, it is a ball. The quick pitch is dangerous and should not be permitted.
The 12-second timing starts when the pitcher is in possession of the ball and the batter is in the box, alert to the pitcher. The timing stops when the pitcher releases the ball. The intent of this rule is to avoid unnecessary delays. The umpire shall insist that the catcher return the ball promptly to the pitcher, and that the pitcher take his position on the rubber promptly. Obvious delay by the pitcher should instantly be penalized by the umpire."
I don't think anyone is saying pitchers are taking too long... lol

This is a MLB rule
Pitcher is ready and batters in the box, the QP in MLB is for safety, In this game no reason for safety to the hitters, Like I said when the pitcher is ready to pitch you can pitch and does not need to stop in the delivery now if you want to argue about the balks with runners on base that is a different story.

No, it's there. I don't have an opinion on the R2 debate. I pitch slow, and if someone starts fast pitching too much, I might hit pause on them. After all, that's what I want them to do, pause.

If you want this game to be played like MLB then each game should take at least 3 hours to play. This is a Video game. You should be ready to hit and if you are not ready to hit then why even play the game. When I pitch I select my pitch select location takes less then 2 seconds and then still have to wind up to pitch. If you can not be ready in that amount of time and have to hold R2 that just sad. If you push R2 for other information and not doing it every pitch of every battter then no need to discuss this topic. This is for those who do it to the full amount of time for every pitch to every batter.

@mjfc_363_psn said in You R2 holders:
So can you step off the rubber an unlimited amount of times now? Im 110% positive there used to be a limit of how many times a pitcher was allowed to step off the rubber. In regard to quick pitching, I have absolutely no problem with that. If I’m in the box and haven’t called time.....then it’s on me! What I don’t appreciate for example, is when my pitcher is up and my opponent knows I’m gonna pinch hit and they smash a button and don’t give me an opportunity to pinch hit. This really happens and it’s not cuz I’m slow. I’m also smashing the pause button to try and get my hitter in the game. In regard to using R2 to “see where I’m being pitched”? I’m a former WS player and consistently over 700. I’m not great but I’m not terrible. I have NEVER ONCE in 5 years of playing this game used R2 to see where I’m being pitched. If you don’t know where you’re being pitched just pack up and quit! Find another game.
When do we see the thread for runners taking extra lead and pitcher stepping off mound repeatedly to counter?

You should already be ready to hit. When pitcher is ready to pitch that is the bottom line it is baseball, It is a video game. There is no need to hold R2 to the fullest time every pitch of the game. I am bad a hitting in this game but I am good enough this year to be above 500. You must be really bad at hitting if you have to hold R2 using directional. At least those who use analog explained why they do it. You have no excuse except you are not ready to hit.
No your wrong, it’s when the batter is ready in real life, not the pitcher. You really ended your argument with your ignorance on that one.
Do you watch baseball, The pitcher pitches when ump is ready, The batter has to call time and even if batter calls time the ump does not have to grant. The pitcher controls the tempo of the game.If the batter is in the box and not ready the pitcher can pitch the ball. the batter does not have to be ready for a pitcher to pitch.
The official rule says the batter has to be ready.
They have to be in the box not actually have to be ready, The ump is ready the pitcher ready then the pitcher can pitch, some batter are in the box but not actually ready and the ump will call the pitch.
Rule 8.05(e) Comment: A quick pitch is an illegal pitch. Umpires will judge a quick pitch as one delivered before the batter is reasonably set in the batter's box. With runners on base the penalty is a balk; with no runners on base, it is a ball. The quick pitch is dangerous and should not be permitted.
How many times have you seen this rule actually be called.
Balks are a rule too and should be in the game
Amen all these pitchers never coming set lol

I dont spam it but I do use it at the beginning of every at bat on the 2nd/3rd time through the lineup to see the last pitch sequence the batter saw. I also like the fact they added the ability to see when your opponent is holding r2.
Why do you need to do this? push pause and see it that way.... BTW you should probably know by the 3rd time through the lineup what they are throwing and how.

You guys that are holding R2 the entire time your opponent is trying to pitch are really a special kind of bad person.
Maybe learn how to win a game without cheating? You might find it actually feels good.
They put an indicator in the game this year during the person is accessing either R2, R3, etc... So there's a stop sign showing you you can't pitch. It's not cheese anymore.

keep quick pitching expect to see R2 as a counter
r2 isn't a counter. It's a cheat. I'll agree that the balk move needs to be eliminated from the game but r2 isn't the answer. It messes the input on the other side....

How is it a cheat? They have a giant stop sign logo that pops up when someone does it now.

5 second timer between pitches seems a bit excessive. Also not everyone wants to sit there and take over an hour for a game so try to understand why people try not to take long between pitches? You can't ask people to try and understand your side without extending the same courtesy
Then live with R2 holding. I’m not going to let someone throw 10 pitches in 3 seconds like it’s a machine gun. If you don’t want a timer, R2 is the best way to make both sides happy.
How does holding down R2 / RT (on xbox) keep them from fast pitching? I don't get it....
They can't go into windup as fast. Quick pitching is the problem not R2 majority of players that R2 Is b/c quick pitching is the cheating method R2 is the preventer. People are trying to flip it around and blame R2. It's simple if they don't quick pitch i don't hold R2.
The counter to R2 is stepping off the mound every time
The problem is, depending on the timing, sometimes you cannot step off. Players that use R2 as an exploit know this and do it to mess up their opponent’s timing so they get meatballs.

Probably trying to do it so fast they don’t even notice it

If you use it all the time you're a douche
If you think it should never be used you are also a doucheAcceptable times are - At the start of an inning to quickly look at pitch selections, energy and/or pitch confidence
-When someone is pitching as quickly as possible from the stretch
-When someone is just being an all round douche and you wish to retaliate with douche like equality -
Holding R2 and pressing R2 at the right time especially vs pinpoint pitching to screw up the pitcher is two separate things.
There needs to be just one click of R2 per at bat. My two cents Problem solved.

No problem not solved sorry. You left out the part where pitcher only gets 1 quick pitch per at bat as well. Now problem solved
