Pause time needs to be changed for sure.
Why do we need to be able to pause for like 10 minutes during a 40 minute game? Lol
This. I miss the old way. You had like 4 or 5 minutes to use (which was still excessive imo) Now you get like 3 minutes for the first inning and like an extra minute every inning after, if not more. Plus with the 3 batter limit, you're going to the pen even less so it makes even less sense to have that much pause time.
I get pausing real quick in some situations (most of which are probably also under the "could have taken care of that before you started" variety) but pause time is far too generous.

So we can purchase more headliner packs mid game.

I had a guy message me the other day and criticize me after he exhausted his pause time and I took the win. It was in BR and it was tied. I messaged him back and said, whatever. How long do you expect me to wait for you.

I said it during the beta and I'll say it again. Pause time should be 3 minutes per game if not shorter. It really does not take long at all to do a bullpen change or pinch hit a player. Otherwise your just wasting peoples time. If you have other things to do then you probably shouldn't accept a game (bathroom breaks excluded). But going out of your way to stall a game is pathetic. I'm sorry to hear about this OP it must have been excruciating playing a full game like this. It's unacceptable behavior in my opinion.

Listen I have played this game since 2015 online with all the bullSHIZNIT people do with- bunt dancing and speed cheesing etc that would drive us all insane....but I've never experienced something so ridiculously vile as what I just had in an event game.
55 FRICKing minutes because the guy (DM me for username so you can block him also) literally changed his team name to "quitoriwasteyourtime" and proceeded to run the pause timer down to nearly zero every inning, hold r2 the max time allotted, purposely take every batter to three ball counts while waiting the maximum time allowed between pitches and making sure to step off and throw over the max amount of times allotted.
I took the lead on a HR late in the game, after which he did his usual running the pause timer down and then tried to make my game freeze for a freeze off (it did for like 20 seconds) but I got the win.
I know sds never checks reports so good luck on that but at least you can block him and save yourself from being bullied into ruining a 12 and 0 run because some idiot does this and declines the friendly quit to force you to sit there and deal with the chode or quit your run.
Honestly I think blocking someone's PSN ID only keeps them from messaging you. It has nothing to do with matching up with them.
Although I think it works like that on the Xbox, so maybe they can figure it out for the PS5

I've just turned messages off from non-friends like 2 years ago (when there were people sending weird messages that would crash your ps4 resulting in easy wins for them).
Every year 9/10 messages are just salty crybabies that like to throw various slurs at you when they lose or someone trying to scam you out of a win.
Every so often you get a decent post game convo or a legit grinding partner (back when it was more important like Griffey's 4 hit game in 17).

Saw this on Facebook, Next time some continually runs the pause timer down on you, when you’re in an inning that their pitcher will be up, make sure they’ve run the timer down, walk them to get to their pitcher it’ll automatically take them to the pinch hit screen and forfeit their game because they won’t have time left

That’s when the most Trouts come. This guy I just made up packed 4 Trouts in one HL pack mid game.

I played that DBag yesterday the experience was awful something should be done not only the event is 6 innings but cmon the cheese aswell
-
If someone ever tries this with me, I'm gonna do the same stuff right back at him until I make him quit instead. We'll see how bad he still wants that win when it's tied in the 30th inning.
I'd be like, "Challenge accepted, dbag! You wanna waste time, then let's waste some time. I've got all day!'

That's a lot of the reason I don't play much online, one being I'm not that good. People constantly going into the quick menu, pause menu or holding R2. The only time I push R2 is for a second if I forget what pitches the guy throws. I never pause and I go into quick menu to hit the bullpen or pinch hit. But some people you play are hitting quick menu after every pitch. They aren't staying in very long but it's just annoying.

I'm primarily an offline player as well. I don't like the whole confrontation aspect that comes with online either. Luckily I've never really had someone send me messages or do what happened in this case but the chances of it happening are still there. I'm quite happy playing the CPU at conquest or doing MTO.

I actually did this earlier in the year. The guy was pausing all game, bunt dancing. I was up 1-0 and he tied it. POTM Sanchez was up and I thought screw it, I'll just throw junk. After about ball 2 I realized he was gonna run out of time.
I felt like I made a scummy move, but more than once the clock ran down to 0:00, and he'd come back before I could hit square.
