If you like winning by using zero skill then bunting is for you. Just hold a button, close your eyes, and let the game do the work for you.
I remember when I wasn’t a good hitter. You know how I got better? By swinging the bat.
I am really happy for you. (Really!) I will swing the bat and sometime make contact. Please don't think I bunt all the time. It is a strategic decision. If the game is tied or I am 1 down I might use it.
It's actually a legal play, it's not even against the unwritten rules. If I am up in the game or down by 2 or more I swing away and usually miss.

My issue with bunting is that it takes no skill. Sac bunting is okay but bunting for hits or to score someone, I don't agree with just for the simple fact that when you bunt you are just letting the computer do the work for you. If they actually made it where you had to work to get a bunt down then I would be okay with it.

I had one guy almost bunt exclusively in an Events game. My fielders did some really dumb things and he got a bunch of hits from it. I wasn't mad at him, I just wished I handled the bunts better.
IMO bunting is fine. If you are trying to win and you are not a good hitter you have to do whatever you can to win. I don't support someone who bunts even though they are a very good hitter.
i have never seen a very good hitter bunt
-
If you bunt to get a hit with a speedster or advance a runner, fine. But the squeeze to me is a female dog move because they never fixed how the infield reacts or the urgency of the pitcher, so it’s an exploit of a flaw in the game.

Anyone that complains about bunts like that is just a crybaby. Those are fine and part of baseball. They'll cry over whatever is successful vs them. If you got a hit swinging he would call you lucky or something instead.
Next time just say -- well thanks for the wine, it pairs well!!

Of course it takes skill it is both timing and release of triangle to deaden or push the bunt.

Bunt against the shift all day if you want. They can turn it off, some may say the shift is cheesy in real life. Who cares

I actually don't know what he meant by cheesy. I did not think I was doing anything bad. Once I bunted against the shift (I learned that from other players online) and I did a sacrifice bunt (which turned into a hit) in extra innings to tie the game. He finally scored 2 in the 5th inning to win.
Is bunting cheesy? Those 2 bunts were my only hits so what am I supposed to do? I am not a good hitter.
Is it part of baseball yes so bunt away - maybe he needs to learn to defend the bunt
-
Just played an Events game where I scored 8 runs! That does not happen too often. I felt like my opponent was letting me get hits! Thank you whoever you were.
I didn't bunt.
And really, I don't bunt much. So many times I get the announcer saying "that's the first take of a pitch all game" in the third inning.

Maybe he was mad that a scrub like me was taking him to extra innings.

Back in MLB The Show 19 I'd get nice messages like "good game", which I appreciated. This year the two messages I got were
- a guy asking me to give him home runs then he'd quit, turned out to be a scam
- Mr cheesy
I know there are nice players out there. They are answering my posts on this message board and offering advice.

You had the decency to check in about possible etiquette that you weren’t aware of. I appreciate dudes like you here and in real life.

Thanks! I've played a lot but haven't spent a lot of time here on the forum so I learn from what I see in games. Like bunting against the shift, which I considered brilliant.
I just got no hit again in the event. Back to normal.

I handle the bunt situations pretty well with the shift on. You just have to know how to pitch and when to expect it.

Yep. And generally I’d rather a power hitter get a single on a bunt into the shift than yack one. The next batter they are normally aggressive and I get a so or a dp

I've seen talk of some R2 thing that bugs people. I've definitely had many players hitting the R2 before every one of my pitches. And I've read on these forums of some Zen controller that cheats for you. I've had the odd suspicion of some opponents, either that or they were professional video gamers who can make mincemeat out of me. Either way I had no chance!

Haha good one.
So timing with hitting is not a skill?
You also seem unaware with how bunting works, in addition to timing it with the initial press you have to release to deaden the ball on contact unless you want to push it then you hold.

I didn't know that! I should practice.
