So I can see where your previous pitches were.
I mean, why does it affect the pitching animation. Like when you're using pin-point and they press R2 and release it, it messes up the entire pitch. I understand the batter to see the pitches, but it shouldn't do that to the pitching meter thing. I just played a player that quite literally relied on doing this 3 times every pitch of every at bat.
Honestly if you're on here complaining about this it means you have no patience and can't wait the 10 seconds to throw another pitch.

....how about just wait until the button icon goes away? if your quick pitching me.... im pressing it for a couple seconds. There is an icon telling you when they are off the button... slow down 1 second and pitch when its gone.

exactly... the only time i push R2 is if im playing some spaz thats trying to pitch as fast as possible and its only for 1 or 2 seconds for me to reset.... baseball is a patience sport. ive never had an issue with this when someone spams it... just have to pitch once its done.

They can do it 3 times per pitch...the icon shows and then they release and when you go pitch they do it again. Imagine having to do that every pitch of every at bat for the entire game. It is a cheap way of glitching the other player so you can get cheap hits. It's stupid and you cannot convince me otherwise. If there was a button that I could delay the batter or glitch their swing, I'm sure everyone would be bitching.

dude, it's a video game. I'm not going to sit and wait 10 seconds idle every single pitch of every [censored] at bat.

How could you be okay with a feature that breaks the mechanics of the other player? If you need time, I'd be fine with a check swing or something of the sort. I don't quick pitch, but I don't take forever to throw every single pitch. I'm fine with using this if someone if pitching super quick and abusing that, but I've faced 2 players not who used this as a way to get an advantage every single pitch of every single at bat, every single inning.

You people need to realize that folks use R2 to check pitch sequence and location. Some might be, but the majority don't even know they're causing you ladies to have menstrual cramps. Get over yourselves.

This just isn't true. You could wait 5-10 seconds in between every pitch and come completely set, but your opponent can still hit R2 and screw up your motion with pinpoint. I actually don't mind people using R2. I use R2 to see pitch locations, but I hit it for a fraction of a second as soon as the screen resets so I don't screw up my opponent's timing.
The real issue here is the fact that someone can hit R2 after the pitch has already been selected and the "tracing" motion for pinpoint has started. That should have never made it past the play testing phase. There are definitely compromises that need to be made here to somewhat appease both sides.

Because in baseball a bat boy walks to the plate and hands the batter a piece of paper showing location and sequence during the at bat....right as the pitcher begins his delivery.

I'm an xbox player and never even knew what R2'ing was since I don't know what button that corresponds to. after seeing this thread i realize I do it all the time since it sounds like RT on xbox to check where the previous pitches went. oh well. its not like im doing it to be purposely annoying.. its just a feature in the game so i use it .

If you need to check the pitch location with R2 every single pitch 3 times, then you have some big issues you might want to get checked out.

I use it to, and more times than not, the hitters use it normally and doesn't really do much bad. However, there's others that base their entire game around doing just that so that they can get you to throw a bad pitch by messing up the pin point mechanic thing and it is super annoying because you only have 2 choices. 1. spend the entire game waiting like 10 seconds per pitch which is just so tedious, or 2. take the risk and throw them a meat ball they can hit
-
I use it the 2nd time through to see pitch patterns. But after that most players use the same sequence and screw themselves

Just 3, you're lucky.
Most of these guys spam it during every pitch. -

So people don’t spam 5 pitches in 2 seconds
Still don’t get being quick pitched in a video game that you’re supposed to be paying attention
-
Still don't get why the R2 apologists are seemingly unawares of how this feature is abused and spammed against people who aren't quick pitching. It's real, folks. Quit telling us to wait 10 seconds to pitch -- we're already waiting... because... we don't want R2 to mess with the pitch location. Amen. Stop telling us to wait!! We're waiting, and it's being abused. We're doing nothing. Not pitching. Waiting. Watching the R2 warning flash a billion times. If anyone asks me why I last played an online match a long time ago... this is why. Crisse. Calice de tabernak.
-
They could just show the location of previous pitches while the strike zone box is up, and have them fade away with it… people need to stop with the spastic quick pitches (balks should be called, period), but so long as pitchers play within the rules, batters should not be allowed to control the pace. That’s horseshit.

If you need to check the pitch location with R2 every single pitch 3 times, then you have some big issues you might want to get checked out.
The person with the issues is the cry baby who can't wait 3 seconds to pitch. Get it straight
