    I love how people complain about quick pitching as if they're playing real baseball and need 25 seconds in between pitches to readjust their gloves, socks, tap the bat 3 times, hold the hand up and dig in a bit more and then finally say they're ready to hit....it's a video game. You're hitting a button or flicking an analog stick to swing. You don't need a huge reset between pitches and most player use the same pitch patterns for every hitter so it's not like you can't figure out what pitch is coming.

    The R2 thing only screws up people's pinpoint gesture and it isn't even about quick pitching. I've had guys where I wait to figure out what pitch I want to throw and then as soon as I start the gesture somehow they hit R2 and that little timer comes up and now I automatically cannot get the gesture timing right because it stopped mid gesture.

    So go ahead and claim its to stop "quick pitching" but we all know its not. Maybe if you need an hour between pitches to figure out you're going to swing at a slider 3 feet out the zone then maybe you should go play something else.

    R2 is a garbage feature that has nothing to do with playing a game of baseball, and it should be gone. Follow the rulebook as much as possible. Let the batter request time just like an MLB batter would.

    Then turn on balks...

    I would laugh so hard when people balk every pitch and I'm just watching my guys walk around the merry-go-round

    did we really spend 14 pages talking about this?????? wow

    its pretty simple:
    a. its a feature in the game its not cheating;
    b. dont be a [censored] and hold R2 down every single pitch;
    c. dont get upset when someone does it occasionally to check things like stamina/pitch confidence/etc or stop u from quick pitching.

    Special kind of stupids are the ones who use guess pitch cause your eyes are trash or you got lil fat fingers. Especially when you start using it only after like the 3rd inn cause you can't hit nothing but keep guessing cause I make it worse for you and I make the game last longer which 90 percent of them just end up quitting. Happens when you give everyone a trophy today and mommy says your a winner but really your a lover

    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.

    It’s not cheating but it’s annoying. make an adjustment. You can always step off the mound or slide stepping every time you’re in the stretch. Welcome to the show

    Pretty much this.

    The only thing I’d like to see is some sort of animation, like the batter physically stepping one foot out, or holding up a hand… something about just freezing the pitcher seems wrong (too much control of pace given to the batter).

    It’d be nice if there were both balks on as a default and a penalty for those who use R2 too late or excessively, like you step out but don’t get granted “time,” and the pitcher can complete the pitch while you’re half outside of the box.

    If you come across someone who is constantly hitting R2, they are probably using one of those zen things. My kids friend brought it over to try and show off about a week ago. I still don't really understand what it does or how it's helpful. But I noticed pretty him spamming R2, every batter. He said that R2 is the button he uses to trigger the device/mod. I saw this topic and thought i would pass this along.

    People hate the R2. I see it all the time on here. It can be annoying but doesn't bother me all that much in the grand scheme of things. Where is all the hate for the pausers? I'd rather have R2 spammed. A lot people pause mid at-bat, in crucial moments, and just intentionally make the game longer. You shouldn't be able to pause in between almost every pitch. I'm surprised it doesn't bother more people on here. Pausing only in between at bats would be nice. No need to be able to R2 and pause mid at bat.

    I hold it every time and will continue to do so. I am not going to let you quick pitch me. If you want to get rid of holding R2, I would be perfectly fine with a 5 sec timer in between pitches. Until that happens, you should try and understand why people do it.

    Ok, then I hope you don’t have a problem with me taking 30 seconds to deliver a pitch. I’ll match your toxicity and raise you a 3 hour game. And you can guarantee that if you get on base and take a lead I’ll make sure to throw over 100 times and step off before every pitch. Lol!!! Kids who use this excuse to abuse system exploits. I’ll just make the game so miserable that they quit out. Have a good day cheese chump.

    Actually a lot of times you can’t step off and get locked into the pitch.

    What other adjustment can you make? Try to waste the pitch by aiming out if the zone? That’s one of the desired results for guys that play this ruse.

    Stop quick pitching or trying to pitch an inning in 2 minutes...

    It's a video game, what do you need time to step out of the box and plant your feet again before your next virtual pitch?

    Mentally prepare your approach for the upcoming pitch. Its a video game but a baseball videogame and if you ever have had an at-bat you wont make this stupid comment.
