Let me just add this to the list of things I never thought I’d see people complaining about, right alongside “my opponents are quitting too much”
[censored] right. I'd like a mode which resembles a real mlb game. not cheese em and if it don't work, quit. I guess that's your style of play. smh.
-
if someone has above 90 speed on 1st I'm slide stepping. most of the time I hang one and give up a hit anyways but hate guys running all over me

So why do you care if they do it EVERY pitch. Its only when it is mixed in sporadically and throws you off that its annoying. Remember they are losing control so you are more likely to get [censored] or meatballs
it's not the way the game is supposed to be played. It's cheese.
also if you dont watch baseball much you wouldn't notice all the slide stepping quick pitching pause pitching....... etc all part of throwing off the timing of a hitter

Lol.
Next it will be diving abuse
IBB abuse!
Check swing abuse!
Excessively long windup abuse (I'm looking at you Mathewson!)I'm tired of getting fastballs from Nolan Ryan.
I’m tired of Ryan’s fastball mixed with his changeup cheese. It’s ridiculous
-
An early contender for post of the year!

I find it annoying but don't mind people doing it. As someone pointed out, it can lead to some nice meatballs down the middle. If I'm ever feeling too rushed, I hit r2 or pause to slow them down a bit.
-
How dare they make the game go faster at the expense of their own pitcher's control. /s
Plus, in this game unless LS Albert Pujols is on 1st, the runner could potentially steal a bag if you don't slide step. I had Pablo Sandoval with his 38 speed and 10 steal rating steal a bag on me earlier in the year. He even accelerated through the slide because apparently no one at SDS has ever taken a physics class.
Count this among the dumbest complaints on this forum.

I recorded one inning of this non sense. This was the second game in a row this happened. You mean to tell me this is how everyone plays and how the devs meant the game to be played? woooow.

Except I didnt see any slide stepping. Looks like he was stepping into his pitches normally from the stretch.

Kershaw don't pitch that fast from the stretch. that's definitely slide stepping.
-
82 speed lead runner so he was trying to stop you from stealing?

I hate pitching with Kershaw from the stretch because it is so fast. Barely have time to react on the analog. And he never slid his foot. He was taking steps. Not that it really matters. If the guy is trying to give you a free HR take it.
-
I hate it when I'm not the home team. Such cheese. When I go to see my Rockies they are playing at Coors Field...where they should be. DD should play out the same way. Why can't SDS just patch this nonsense already.
SDS needs to fix this or I'm cancelling my pre-order.

I assume that's SS Kershaw pitching. He has a quick release when players are on base. If he was slide stepping, as many times as he pitched the ball, the announcer would've mentioned it in the commentary.

I don’t love playing opponents that slide step the whole game either. Fortunately, there is a counter.

You play the way you choose. Who determines how it’s “supposed “ to play? Slides steps are in the game and it’s in real life baseball. There is an appropriate penalty for using it. It’s incumbent upon you to take advantage. Btw in real life dudes change pitch Cadence, arm angle all the time. El Duque, David Cone, Cueto are a few guys who built careers off of that
-
I slide step only when Im playing someone who keeps stealing and not realizing that the finest Realmutos arm will get you 10/10 times. Let them screw themselves over
-
I’ll slide step from time to time, but it’s never about the runner. It’s always about throwing off the hitter’s timing. Once every few innings or so. If my opponent wants to slide step and hang one, walk me, or throw a wild pitch, then that’s all good with me.

He was clearly slide stepping on every pitch. Extremely frustrating when opponents do this because the animation is really glitchy, and nobody does it that much in real life.
It’s even more frustrating when the pitcher goes from the stretch at all times, and opponents slide step even when there’s no runners on base.
If you’re gonna slide step once in a while (because you genuinely think your opponent’s gonna steal), then that’s fine, but if you just constantly abuse it, then you’re one of the reasons people hate playing online.
