You can freeze the game....literally if u spam throwing in the dirt or spam checking a runner at a base it can freeze...just spamming something for a animation can freeze it..besides the people that know other ways of doing it but wont admit
They took out spamming the throw to first/step off last year; after 3 throws to first you have to pitch (online only)
If a player extends his lead while on base you can literally throw to that base in an attempt to pick them off as many times as you like. It’s only when your opponent doesn’t extend their lead that you can only throw over three times.
Ok great, makes sense.
Yeah you can totally eliminate a players running game by throwing over often. Doing this will increase the likelihood of them getting a bad jump. That’s all provided that when they do steal you get a good catcher animation to throw on.
I usually do; if they extend their lead I'll throw over. PO some people with that over the years, but hey if you extend 40 straight times, I'll throw 40 straight times (or step off).
The limitation came back to me yesterday when playing an event, and the guy sporting his WS banner would spam bunt the first pitch of every AB and every pitch with runners on. Every time he would do this I'd throw to first, but then I couldn't.

And then sit there indefinitely to get a W are scumbags.
I hate it. there is no faster way to end a BR run than your opponent freezing the game because you get a base hit.

I don’t play BR, but it really frustrates me when people do this.

You cant freeze the game - it just happens and has been for many years
If you can’t freeze the game, I dunno what the heck this guy was doing to me the other day.

If I am getting outplayed when it freezes I will wait 5 minutes before quitting. If I have something else to distract me I can wait it out.

It’s been more than an hour for me. The guy doing it is a punk.

Oh you're losing. Your opponent took his family out for ice cream an hour ago and is probably going to take his dogs for a walk afterwards.

Only if they do not take the extra lead. If extra lead is taken you can throw over as much as you want.

Is this a freeze off or whatever?
Fernando holding the ball and playing with dirt?
I can't go to dashboard or anything? -
I'd say someone lost connection. Doesn't it auto pitch after awhile?

Pretty sure it is pitches in the dirt from what I’ve been seeing.
-
No bo at 2nd base, Fernando tatis holding the ball and looking around and than playing with dirt.
No option to do anything? -
Well whatever, this is why I don't play online.
I do not believe it's a connection issue as according to our team names we are right down the street from each other.Oh well, back to conquest.
Congratulations Nashville Angels.

Actually there are several things a player can do to increase the odds of a freeze off. If a guy is spamming sinkers into the dirt regardless of what the count is and then uses his catcher to dive back toward the backstop, you can bet that player is trying to force a freeze off.
Really ok I wasn't aware of this - it hasn't happened to me - but I bet it does tonight lol
