Man there are some soft [censored] ppl in here. Crying over button holding and such.
I pitched all the way up to college(2 yrs there) and very few guys ‘quick pitch’. Pitching is a dance and takes some time. Now this is a video game I understand but in my experience ‘quick pitch’ is you spamming fastballs and sinkers all game, that’s not pitching. It’s baseball it’s going to take a bit to play the game. They should give us an option before the match 5,7, or 9 innings.
Now ppl who just hold R2 every batter regardless are just aholes. There is no reason for it. I use it seldom throughout the game.
Like i said i don't spam R2 unless like you said they spam fastballs and sinkers and everyone knows that's exactly why they do it. Why do you think pitchers with outlier are usually highest priced pitchers?
If they didn't quick pitch and other person didn't hold R2, It's probabally gonna be a better experience for both and will not take as long as they think.

bc velocity is valuable just like real baseball?

I've read every post in this thread and it's a bad joke. Should there be a button where you can ask the umpire for time? Yes. Is there one? I don't know - someone enlighten me if I'm unaware of it. It sure isn't R2. R2 is the batter freezing the pitcher. That sounds implausible. Let's get an ask for time button if there isn't one, and then if the ump grants time, you can use R2. Pitcher re-sets on the rubber. Go again. That sounds more like baseball.

This thread lmao horrible pilot episode of How I Met Your Father.
Anywhoo the trick is to let them quick pitch, then out of nowhere hold R2, mess up his pinpoint, he throws a meatball and bam... 3 run hr.. he quits, the game doesn't count. We all lose in the end.

Just played a dude who was very late on 90% of his pitches but they dotted the corner. Love this game 🤬

Are we sure the pitching feedback is accurate?

@timppa29_mlbts said in You R2 holders:
That is really annoying. You can't even step off after that anymore i guess? Or atleast i can't. Super annoying.
I was able to step off, I had a few of those this weekend.

Lol nothing in this game is accurate except the birds flying path. Just thought it was funny dude was painting the corners with very late feedback.

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 certainly is annoying. It's a feature that is abused, but is actually really useful when using 4 or 5 times a game.
I will use it just to see where my opponent has pitched to certain batters. I do not sit there and hold it. It is annoying

Oh yeah I've seen others do that but I didn't know what button it was. I was aware of stepping off as the pitcher with a runner on base. Anyway yeah, I guess I would like to see R2 limited to that.

Sht my wife was watching me finish a RS game the other night and goes “ why does that thing say good timing but you always get out”. I couldn’t answer her lol.
Yo SDS my non gaming non sports fan wife would like the answer to this question please

If you try to play a game without quick pitching see if R2 is still a problem? But i agree if you quick pitch i'm holding R2 all day long. Then i'm going to take my sweet @ss time when i'm pitching.
Why does this not surprise me about you. What do you need to do, go through mental computations before the pitch?
If i wanted lip from you i would scrape it off my zipper! Where do you buy your face paint for your clown costume?
That is the worst chirp of all time. Absolutely brutal. Nothing personal, just saying...
I don’t understand the hate with pitching fast. It’s not like you have to step out of the box, readjust your jock, reattach your gloves. What’s the deal?
They seem to think thats why they suck. Like if we take a extra 3 seconds to pitch they'll all of a sudden have hand eye coordination

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.
Hi Sean, hope you're having a great weekend.
I absolutely pitch quickly, I don't need to stare at my screen with bifocals to accurately use the input system of my choice. I also don't want to take an hour playing a RS game. I have many other things I have to do with my life, and while I'm sure Sean 87 is a great guy, I'm not interested in being stuck with you longer than I have to.
Stop holding down L2, you don't suddenly increase PCI placement accuracy by waiting between pitches.
You will not be quick pitching against me, that’s for sure. People have different preferences. If you don’t want a timer in between pitches, then R2 is the best way to make both sides happy.
But when I step off because you hold R2 you do not need to hold R2 after I step off the mound. Not saying you do this but people who hold R2 do it even after I step off every time. Then you got people who start doing it after they are losing or because they can not hit, R2 does not help people hit any better and either does fake bunting pushing Triangle and letting go repeating that until the pitch is thrown, It is all annoying.

Honestly don't mind R2ers all that much when I'm pitching. Bunt dancers are way worse.

If you are doing it from first pitch then you are a child, the end.This guy is an absolute loser lol
I always find it amusing the way people talk differently than face to face.
Dude I will call you a loser to your face lol. You act like im trying to fight you or something smh. what you do is scummy. plain and simple.
Really, I travel a lot, where do you live? We can meet up and have a conversation to find out.
Come to NYC. I will call you a loser to your face over and over mr. tough guy lol. [censored] clown
Ok pm your phone number and we can link up.
This Sean, this is why you aren't invited to parties.
Begging for phone numbers won't suddenly give you a social life, people have to like you first
let him do his thing Lucas. Clowns need a platform to showcase what they do best. Let him act like mr tough guy asking for peoples phone numbers sop he can go fight them. This is beyond hilarious to me LMAOOO
It's always single dudes stuck at home on a Saturday night. If my wife and son weren't still at work, I would have been off of here a long time ago. LOL, they give themselves away
its hilarious. bet hes been holding down R2 the whole time. Needs that extra time to type his responses lol
Can't swipe right if you're placing PCI's. I get it.
Not a problem for me, I use directional. I’m in to men by the way, that’s why I don’t have a wife and kids.
Why you need to Hold R2 if you use directional not like you need to move the PCI.

For years I have lobbied for removal of the R2 feature, or at the very least, allow us to step off the rubber every time R2 is pressed. But......to no avail. I hope all R2 users jock straps become infested with South American Fire Ants!!!!
I have never had an issue stepping of the rubber when someone holds R2. As soon as I see that symbol in this years game of R2 being held I step off. Then my opponent will pause if they can not hold R2. I think SDS need to change how long R2 can be held.

5 second timer between pitches seems a bit excessive. Also not everyone wants to sit there and take over an hour for a game so try to understand why people try not to take long between pitches? You can't ask people to try and understand your side without extending the same courtesy
Then live with R2 holding. I’m not going to let someone throw 10 pitches in 3 seconds like it’s a machine gun. If you don’t want a timer, R2 is the best way to make both sides happy.
How does holding down R2 / RT (on xbox) keep them from fast pitching? I don't get it....
They can't go into windup as fast. Quick pitching is the problem not R2 majority of players that R2 Is b/c quick pitching is the cheating method R2 is the preventer. People are trying to flip it around and blame R2. It's simple if they don't quick pitch i don't hold R2.
The counter to R2 is stepping off the mound every time

But not do anything toward how fast someone can pitch? Just curious, you know that is the other sides arguement so why not address both? See why people keep arguing? You change one you should change other, if everybody wants it fair then by god make it fair across the board.

Do you want the pitcher to balks back in the game and have it where pitchers have to come set with runners on base. If no runners are on base, pitcher can pitch when ready. If you are not ready as a hitter then that is on you. No need to hold it every pitch to be ready to hit. A second or two I understand but for 10 seconds every pitch is crazy, Once I select my pitch and set my location, I am pitching. That takes a second to do. A hitter should be ready. If someone is spamming FB then I sit in that location. Sooner or Later the ball is flying over the fence. This year I been able to hit the High FB. I been hitting better this year then the past few years. It is still not great but I am winning more than I am losing. I think I am 32-24 in RS.
