Also funny how most R2 holders have it so we can't message them. They can't handle the smoke, bunch of babies who never even played HS ball.
I mean most people use R2 to see what pitches were thrown and try and guess the next pitch. The issue isnt the player its the game
-
I guess my general thinking is if they just took out certain things that people spam or exploit then there would be no game at all. No R2, no high and inside fastballs/sinkers, no bunts, no baserunning (return to 1B on pitchouts or scoring from second on slow infield ground ball animations), or any of the other things people have complained about over the years. I haven't personally encountered someone spamming R2 yet but haven't played a ton of online games. I also don't use pinpoint yet so I really don't have much of a relevant opinion. I just feel it's one of those things that's not going away, and what separates the good from the great will be how players navigate it.

We talkin about two separate things here.
Im complaining and most others are because of ppl spamming R2 to interupt pitching motion.
Pressung and holdin R2 to checknpitch locations or pitch types is an entirely differwnt thing.
Try and keep up. Thats for the rest of you as well

Serious question...is it okay to hold r2 at the beginning of every at bat to see how you were pitched in the previous at bat?
On this same topic, it is nice that you can see when the other player is holding r2. So, you can wait to start your pitch until they stop.
Except some do it as you wind up and if you use PPP, it screws up with your meter and you throw meatballs
First thing, once you begin the analog action for ppp, r2 can no longer be used. So instead of trying to pitch at turbo speed take your time between pitches. If someone is r2 spamming that’s the remedy.
Not true; if it’s used during the wind up/pitch specific movement of the sequence, the pull down part doesn’t respond and it’s either a ball in the backstop, a beanball or a fat one down the middle.
Yup there is a time during the pull down you can time R2 and mess everything up

I dont know what planet yall live on where the pitcher dictates the pace of play lol, do you even watch baseball, as a serial r2er idgaf about your breaking animation, balking cry baby attitude, the batter dictates when he is ready to be pitched to just like irl, you wanna take r2 away and balk home 7 runs a game, im down for that too lol

The batter does not dictate pace of play. If the batter takes to long to get in the box the ump will tell the pitcher to pitch. The pitcher dictates everything

Only low baseball iq button mashers complain about r2

Just have the pitches from previous ABs pop up like hot zones. Then all the dudes fake whining about that could see their pitches. Put the pitchers pitches on the right side down of the screen at all times. Why not? Hell put the batters stats there too.
By the way speaking of hot zones. Let me toggle that off too. It annoys me, I don’t use it and it’s more of a distraction than anything.
Nobody uses it for any purpose other than to try to mess with the pitchers.
Lol quick pitching. Online games take like 45 minutes. Y’all want it to take longer so you can do the downward dog yoga stretch before each pitch? Gtfoh.
It should 100% be removed. It’s time for SDS to get that done and appease 90+% of their player base.
I 100% these are good suggestions for QOL and actually do believe SDS plays their game. Give it a shot I bet y’all love it.
Glad I didn't go straight to the bottom to type my thoughts, cuz this exactly. Just make both the batter and pitching screeens the same.

Did you even read what the problem is or just spewing gatbage out ya mouth?
Once a freaking again, We dont give a poo about pace of play, this isnt a quick pitch issue.
Its a deliberate exploit being used by folks just like you who dont even know whats being diacussed.Stop spamming R2 in our delivery motion to fook up the pitch.

This just simply is not true. The umpire will put the ball in play/hold up play until the batter and umpire are ready.

Someone thats watched a baseball game!?!?!

Are you friggin kidding. You try quick pitching a baseball team in real life, and they'll have their dugout on you. They don't like it, and neither do I. Frankly, they should put balks back on, and then this wouldn't be happening. Put on balks, and get rid of R2 (although it does show your confidence level).
With no runners on base there is no balks, no this would not stop.

Would be a ball though.

Here we go again.
If everyone came set before pitching, it would be much less of a problem. You guys saying quick pitching doesn’t exist in the game are probably slide stepping with Kenley Jansen.With no runners on base pitcher does not have to come set. Some of you do not know baseball. Once the ump is ready the pitcher can pitch it is up to the batter to call time out. As long as a player can hold R2. Pitcher should be able to step off the mound. People will push it then let go and push it again and repeat this and then they will start bunt dancing. I use meter so it is just annoying. Can mess up timing.

Were we ever to match up, the game wouldn't go any faster than my pace.. If you're fast pitching I'll R2 you in a heartbeat, and if you don't like it you can forfeit.
I've already said if you want R2 gone, then put balks back on. That way people can't screw with your pitches, and people can't fast pitch. I don't believe that's what you want though. I believe you want to slam people in the head with pitch after pitch, while taking away their ability to stop you.
Balks only solve the issue from the stretch with runners on base.

@crimson_monk_psn said in Take R2ing out of the game.:
If they remove r2, then pitchers should be called for a balk if they don’t come set...that will fix both issues
There no set with no runners on, you pitch from windup and when ump is ready and batter in the box pitcher can pitch as he wants

Why is this in the game? Someone from SDS explain this? Why not just always have the pitches show in screen. Just be honest you leave stuff like this in here to cater into the losers that want to play cheesy.
Stop quick pitching
There is no such thing as quick pitching in this game. Either you’re ready or you’re not. Pitchers dictate the pace of play.
Wth you talking about their is definitely quick pitching. And I don’t press r2 other than the first batter or so to see the pitches, then I won’t
"Quick pitching" implies pitching before a batter is even settled in and ready. A real thing in real baseball, but not in a video game. If it's so bad, then call time or pause. Much better than R2ing and throwing off a pitcher.
Oh you mean like slidestepping every pitch?
You should be glad when someone slidesteps. All it does is make them erratic.
Not always. The thing in real baseball I can stand with a foot out the box and make the pitcher wait til I’m ready, I like r2 for its actual purpose. I don’t like the ones that hold it either , but if they constantly slide step I will hold it til they stop. If someone does it to me I step off the mound until they stop, or throw anyway bc all it does is cause a minor annoyance but my pitch will go where I want it ( unless the cpu decides otherwise) so just step off til they get the picture or rage quit. The batter controls the pace imo, at least I did when I played. Pissed many a pitcher into a mistake....
You can not stand our of the box as long as you want, the ump would tell you to get in the box. The ump controls the game. If the ump allows the pitch then it does not matter if you are out of the box. -

No in game quick pitching is selecting a pitch before batter can use any option available, like R3 R2 or a practice swing for there batter. Once a pitch is selected the batter cannot use those options at all. Therefore people hit R2 so they can check how fielders are setup.
Not the Majority of them.

Do you watch baseball tell me what pitcher ever balk with no one on base.
