Stop getting mad at people who watch their homeruns

Regardless of your intentions, it appears as though you’re just trying to show up your opponent whenever you watch a replay.
It’s rubbing salt in an open wound. The guy is probably already pissed that he gave up a homerun and just wants to move on to the next batter, but you’re basically just pausing the game to force them to watch it again.
It’s The Show’s equivalent to batflipping or watching a homerun from the batter’s box.
And no, it doesn’t bother me. Just showing how/why it would bother a lot of people.
Yup. Exactly why you should do it.
If your opponent is that mentally weak... That fragile... Then yeah, hit L2 every time. The guy will end up beating himself.

My big issue is when you replay a home run on a pitch down the middle when I very much didnt put it there like if you have perfect perfect on a pitch at or near the black then yeah go ahead I applaud you but replaying down the middle you just look stupid
No, stupid would be getting a pitch down the middle and jamming your PCI down and not hitting a HR.
Slaughtering a pitch down the middle 465' then having you want Reggie Jackson pimp that HR with his boss bat flip? Yup every time. You can watch your mistake go 465' 2 more times
not always my mistake since I use meter and magically perfect releases with a fat meter go down the middle but sure go right ahead and look like a tool

Meter?? What's next? Complaining your perfect timing on directional didn't get a hit?

I see alot of bashing on here directed towards people that watch their homeruns & I don’t know why people take it as being disrespectful. Have you ever seen Degrom, Cole or Sale at a post game press conference call out ESPN for replaying a homer they gave up during their start?....When you watch a game on tv and a player hits a mammoth homer don’t you look forward to seeing it in a slow mo replay?.....Look, If I hit an absolute moonshot or if my player does a sweet bat flip I replay it and save it to share with my friends on twitter. I’m not trying to disrespect you AT ALL. I’m just enjoying my accomplishment & sharing it with my friends. Don’t be so sensitive, I’m not dissing you or disrespecting you. Relax boys, Don’t take everything so personal.
How do you save the clip? Would like to start saving them to watch back! Thank you

I look at it the same way I look at hitters IRL. there is a time or place. You are down by 3 runs and hit a solo? You are up by 3 runs already, don't pimp it, just run. You are down by 1 and hit a go-ahead homer. or up by 1 and hit a moon shot to take a lead pimp the [censored] out of that bad boy. It's a game. and I you don't care enough about that to be pumped, that's on you. I would take Bautista's nasty bat flip against Texas (big moment in the play offs) vs any time JD Drew hit a homer. That man could strike out with the bases loaded to lose the worldseries, or hit that walk off homer and have the same reaction. It's a game have fun with it!
and no one ever seems to have a problem with a pitcher screaming his lungs out and pumping his fists when he get s big strike out...same boat.

Or you could act like you have hit a HR before in an online video game. It is a complete waste of time. Does motivate me to try to bury you and hit a dozen hr's and watch them all.
-
Getting mad about anything in a video game is just silly. That being said, if you are still watching your replays I just assume you don't hit many. The novelty of it has worn off for most of us by now....
-
My only time I get upset is when it's a fence scraping home run. No reason to watch or replay this. You hit a no doubt grand slam with a player that has a sick bat flip then be my guess I want to see that as well

@raesONE said in Stop getting mad at people who watch their homeruns:
Pitchers do tend to get upset if you watch your homerun from the batter's box. I think that's a better analogy than the one you used. But more on topic, I don't get upset at all when people want to watch their homerun. But better believe it motivates me and I will replay each and every one from that moment forward.
This right here. Lol nothing better than a guy watching 2 solo HRs in the first few innings and then being able to watch your own when you take the lead from a 3 run Dinger in the 8th
-
I only do it on occasion for the really long ones just to see how far they were hit. I don't even let it play out. Then I'll also do it if the other guy is being a douche (taking too long between pitches, constantly going to the quick menu/pause menu, or throwing at me because he's losing).
-
I'm far more annoyed by the player that keeps pausing the game checking the pitch history. If you don't have enough brain cells to remember the pitches that you or I threw don't subject me to you researching your senior thesis before every at bat.

After the animation/presentation is over press the share button on your controller then press the save video option which is square. Then after the game is over go into capture gallery and you can edit the video to just the length of the homerun. From there you can upload it to twitter, you tube, ect.

True. Why put all these bat flip and celebration animations in if you can never see them?
RIGHT?!?! lol

Absolutely agree here. If someone hits a moonshot with Reggie, Didi, Eddie, or Gleyber(who all have sick no-doubt animations), replay those all day. Just don’t hit a pop-up good/okay wall scraper with Gallo and replay it. Those are what grind my gears

Depends on the bat flip. Reggie Jackson has a boss bat toss and lean back stare. I need to L2 it every time.
Also, Rickey Henderson's no doubter bat flips are so insanely over the top they get replayed 100% of the time. Freaking hilarious and outstanding.
Now a guy like Nolan Gorman? He's a bore -- would need to be a consequential HR to hit L2.
This is a FUN part of the game... Enjoy it. And if it pisses you off, even more benefit... Sometimes I'll replay my opponents HR just to get a breather after hanging a bad pitch or to see how far it went at what velocity if it were a monster shot.

Ever thought about that people turned that broken Hitting or Pitching feedback off? The only way to see the pitch and location is by holding R2
-
There is no need to replay homers, there are so many homers hit in this game it's not like it's a thing so rare that you have to be like omg i need to see that again. people replay homers to show up/[censored] off the opponent let's be honest here

The buffer for R2 is limited to a couple seconds and doesn't go to the pause menu. I'm talking about the person that goes into the menu before every at bat to see what pitches were thrown to that batter and to that handed matchup. Either that or they are adjusting their bullpen every at bat which seems highly unlikely.
-
Watch all the replays you want but I will never do it back. It's the same thing in madden where people "celly" all the time but I just wont do it back to them.
I played sports at a very competitive level in real life. Athletics are how I was able to go to University as I couldnt afford it any other way. I talked more sht in game than you can imagine. Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller would be proud. There I knew my actions had real, physical, consequences. Turn about was fair play and I accepted what came to me as a result of my mouth.
I just dont see the need to do such things in a video game and I can guarantee you that 99% of people would not display the behaviour they do playing a video game if you were sitting directly beside them.
