I hold R2 all day if my opponent is quick pitching like a spaz. If someone is doing this to you start pacing your pitches. If your opponent continues to hold the problem is on him.

If they can’t hit because they have to bunt in runs with Ortiz and Pujols but you lost(I’m assuming, these posts don’t usually come after wins) then what does that say about you?
It says that hitting is working as intended. It says that OP enjoys playing a game that is not realistic. When a game allows players to drop bunt hits with a player who just got into the 700 HOMERUN club. It makes no sense. You sound like someone who was a fan of "The Force Awakens"

Maybe I’m alone on this, but, I don’t care about my ranked record, for BR I’m always grinding the program, not going for 12-0, and Events? Who cares about wins or losses really?
I just quit if someone is super toxic, I don’t care enough to put up with it anymore. Let ‘em have that win that moves them up the ranks to inevitably get smoked by someone.
Just move on with your day and don’t waste time or energy on these people. You’re more likely to match up with someone who, like yourself, just wants a good game.

Ah yes because banning bunts would be much more realistic than someone choosing to bunt because you have your defense back and they need a run.
Does bunt defense need work? Absolutely
Is it kind of a douche move? Depending on the situation definitelyHowever nothing you’ve said is cheating or unrealistic. Also that’s a pretty random reach for the “Force Awakens” there. Since we are on the topic tho you sound like you think Gina Carano is a good actress.

Just quit if you don’t like what your opponent is doing. I do! I mean, SDS has this game so f’d up, what does a loss really mean anyway?? I started a game last night against a guy who consistently pressed R2 at the same moment each batter. He would then step out. He would then call time. He would then hit pause. Dude wasn’t that good. It was clear he was doing all of this to F with my pitcher mechanism timing. So I quit and I was winning 1-0.
I play this game to enjoy myself and relax….not to put up with this silly nonsense. -

If you don't want Pujols or Ortiz to bunt with a man on third, don't play your infield back. That's not a player being toxic. That's a player exploiting your defense.
To be fair, hitters like Pujols and Ortiz shouldn't be able to lay down good bunts. As soon as you get in online play, however, everyone seems to be able to lay down perfect bunts with any hitter.

I've yet to understand this argument. First, you can't quick pitch in a video game. 2nd, it's a video game. How much time do you need between pitches? If the game allows a pitch to be thrown, why aren't you ready for it?
Hitting R2 every so often to see the pitch arsenal or to see where a pitch was just thrown is one thing. Holding it every time your opponent goes to pitch is just douchey and it borders on attempting to mess up the process of the opponent making the pitch because holding the button causes the pitch to not lock in.
Also, I still don't get the people that pause the game after batter or every couple of pitches. Just play the game. You're most likely going to beat me anyway (I'm not very good online), there's no need for shenanigans.

Part of baseball is disrupting timing. If your timing is repetitive I intend to disrupt it.

Huh? It's a video game. We're not really doing any of this (pitching, batting). There's not timing to disrupt. If you're holding a button to try and mess with the game's process of choosing, locating and throwing a pitch, that's just messed up.

Okay I am not going to argue with an idiot.

I think the point is, if your opponent is holding R2 to slow down your pitching pace, and you continue to deliver as fast as you can, you are in fact the one being toxic.
If I face an opponent like this, obviously I make the adjustment, in the same way that I do when an opponent continues to take an extra step lead off first.
Does the game allow that? Yes. Does that mean you should do it?
Absolutely not. But then, as pointed out, if you want to play like a db, go ahead. It’s on you.

I have to admit it's been hard for me to learn that lesson, because I struggle against most players, but to have a rare moment where I know I am better than the other guy and him to be rewarded with a glitch for a win is super annoying to me.
I don't gripe about it any longer but wish they could banish all the bunt/steal cheesers and the dashboarders into their own little toxic division where they all suffer from their own play style and allows normal humans to play the game as it should be.
Sadly, SDS seems to be headed into an awful mix of EA Sports and Triple Play baseball, so I don't expect to be buying anything new for a long time.

“Time disruptor” should be a stat category.

i agree, its not just R2, its all the other nonsense. pausing til it is at 10 seconds, backing out the box every other pitch, bunt cheesing, etc. Toxic. I don't even mind the R2 as much as the rest.

The game establishes when a pitch can be thrown. If the opponent isn’t ready to hit, that would seem to be on them. Again, what are these people needing to do in between pitches that causes them to not be ready?

I quit DD more because of the horrible created stadiums then the clown town players.

Lots of things. How hard is it to pitch only 85% as fast as you can?
For example, suppose I work a leadoff walk with Edgar in a close game late. I might want to go to the bench for a pinch runner.
The way the game is now, a player like you can prevent me from doing that and/or force me into a disadvantage count before I am able.
Your entire argument is based on not respecting your opponent, which is kinda poor sportsmanship IMO.

absolutely mate - you are right - one of the guys replied to you saying to pitch at "85% of the speed allowed" lol
