    Simple SDS just needs to implement into the game

    One Press for R2 per at bat.

    Simple end of discussion.

    No. You will not quick pitch me. I’m holding it down every pitch.

    I don't mind if you hold it down in the same way every pitch to let your opponent know to slow it down a bit. But the majority of people I play, they try to figure out your rhythm and then quickly press R2 to mess up your pinpoint pitching which they hope will result in a pitch down the middle. Which sometimes happens. Its blatantly obvious when people are doing this. And when you tell them, they use the same excuse of "don't quick pitch me", while that wasn't even happening. I'm not saying you do it with this intent as well, but I tend to urge people to just not do it at all.

    To be fair, some of the blame for this lies squarely on the shoulders of SDS. I mean, why make it possible to glitch a pitcher’s animation so that he not only doesn’t come set, but somehow can throw the ball to the plate without lifting his leg.

    Sure, the slidestep is a real thing but you could watch a game on mlb.tv every day this week and not see a pitcher use one. Pitch outs are extremely rare as well.

    So on the one hand, the game is right on top of new developments in baseball with extra inning rule and three batter minimums. On the other, we still have archaic practices like slidesteps and pitch outs in use all the time in game, and pitchers balking on every pitch. Oh and all you tryhards defending quick pitching when really you are just defending your exploits.

    That’s why I said I’m ok with a 5 second timer in between pitches. I hold it down the same way every time. I have it held before my batter is even up to plate just to make sure you can’t quick pitch me. By the way, balks need to be back in the game. It’s absolutely absurd that they would remove balks, it’s a rule in baseball.

    Literally all they have to do is make the pitcher come set before allowing the pitcher to pitch and R2 holding AND quick pitching WITHOUT having balks a part of it would be solved.

    Lol people will still cry. Quick pitching isn’t a legitimate complaint in this game and NEVER has been.

    These complaints spawn from glitches were people slide step (hold L2) with a specific bronze/silver relievers and the ball legitimately comes from a different angle than their hand. THATS quick pitching....pitching to fast is not lmfao.

    Guys that “hold R2” and are bragging about it aren’t good hitters, they aren’t even average hitters, if they were, they wouldn’t be crying about some non existent exploit messing with them much like the best pitchers aren’t crying about “bunt dancing”. It used to bring your 3rd basemen down the line, but it no longer does that, however the “BuNt DanCinG EXPloIt” still gets screamed about all the time by people who play online once every three weeks and need an excuse.

    Quick pitching, bunt dancing, credit card spending basement dwellers = the offline player excuse trifecta

    Nobody ever says bunt dancing is an exploit, dude. It’s just annoying.

    I am a high functioning autistic and dyslexic. So I'm not allowed to enjoy online play because you're too impatient to wait a half second after picking a pitch?

    Careful folks around here don't take to kindly to facts.

    I'ts obvious the R2 is a threat to quick pitch based off responses alone, b/c without it the quickpitch exploit is undisturbed. And not one person arguing to get rid of R2 has compromised in what to do about quick pitch which makes it all the more obvious Quick pitch is "The Initial Problem."

    I don’t press R2 ever. People held R2 when those slide step glitches were a thing. People that are still holding R2 to avoid quick pitching are about 3 years late and have no idea what they’re talking about.

    Bunt dancing was a thing in 16, your third baseman charged home plate during the pitchers wind up leaving the entire side of the infield wide open. Thats been removed and that complaint would be about 5 years late.

    You see the trend? Getting worried about things that were removed years ago is the sign of somebody who just doesn’t actually understand the game and what people are talking about.

    I’ve literally read “The CPU quick pitched me” on here. People READ things, start to think they ARE things, then go LOOKING for things to complain about. They issue is they don’t exist....anymore

    I literally just faced someone using Kenley yesterday. He never came set, slide stepped every pitch, and his animation skips the entire leg kick and half his pitching motion.

    If you don’t judiciously use R2, you don’t have a chance to have a good at bat.

    It’s not rocket science, man. People complain about quick pitching because, when abused, it is a shiFtty exploit and really tough to counter.

    I'm not sure why you would write this post claiming quick pitch doesn't happen when their are veteran players within this thread saying it does. For you to dismiss it as if they made it up is puzzling to me.

    Pressing R2 and Holding R2 are 2 different things. Pressing R2 is a feature for the batter and so is stepping off bag and pressing R3 to see field. All 3 of these features are "not usable" when somebody is quick pitching, and that is a fact not a dream from 3 years ago it is happening now.

    As far as someone claiming the CPU Quick pitched them, that actually could be somewhat true based off of settings within pitching. Called pitch delay setting choice is normal or faster. While it isn't the same as quick pitch , but it couldv'e easily been misconstrued as such to a new player who may have accidentally changed this setting.

    Ok only one quick pitch at bat. Deal?

    It's not quick pitching if he has to go into a wind up. You need to process information better and get ready for the pitch. I do however agree that they should get rid of the balk move where they don't come to a stop in the stretch. R2ing isn't the answer tho.

    I'm curious and lagitimately want to know the answer to this? If using pinpoint how long does player get to see pattern of pitch before the actual pitch starts? Reason i ask, b/c i'm curious if people are selecting the pitch before batter can press button to view field or step off bag. I have had instances where pitcher wasn't in a windup and i was unable to use any features availabe to the batter? What is preventing me from using these features?

    Yeah I bet the CPU went on YouTube, looked up “MLB the show 21 glitchy slide step releases” then proceeded to slide step glitch pitch out of his off hand during someone’s showdown finale. Pitching fast isn’t quick pitching. Period.
