Why the hell are quick counts on in a 3-inning game?!
-
My first game, all three of my opponents 1st inning batters started with 1-2 counts. I had Feller on the mound... It was "a three pitch inning"
-
Quick counts are definitely a world of their own. They give you a 3-1 and the opponent auto takes something on the black and the entire inning will change. I just have a really hard time grooving stuff, but man those walks can kill you....no matter how well you have been playing or how bad the opponent is.

I love it actually. I think every event should be quick counts

Agreed, i may actually play this event if not just to complete some of the missions.

They should’ve made it a 1 inning game with runners at 3.

That sounds incredibly fun!

Not a fan of this quick count event at all, it rewards players who don’t normally work the count.

And 2nd and 1st.

First event game. I bat first. Honus vs Maddux 1-1 count, first pitch no doubt HR. He quits. I love this already. That was also my first AB with Honus online

I'm not great at online but really want to get my feet wet, would this format overwhelm me? I pitch decently, hit poorly online but slowly improving.

No it won’t. I’ve been having a blast. The quick counts give you a “head start” on your at bat. I beg you 2-1 or 3-1 take the pitch. 2-2 most of the time is a waste pitch.
The ppl that complain about it can’t pitch. They just spam the same pitch over and over

Awesome, I mean, I realize I probably won't win a great deal but I have the same God squad Meta players that most people do and could conceivably win if I learn to lay off breaking balls in the dirt and outlier driven high heat.

We should just have to hit play and you automatically get a win or loss

I got you brotha. Most of the time you just have to sit fastball. Just watch the counts and don’t be afraid to quit out if you run up against a mutant. Don’t worry about meta god squad cards. Try some different lineups until your comfortable with some guys. May not happen quick but I guarantee you will get some wins.
So far Altuve, Minoso and Morgan have been mashing. Good luck

I was complaining about it and I'm not terrible at pitching. I get frustrated when 2 or 3 of my batters an inning start out 1-2. 2-2, or even a full count. Or when I'm pitching and I strike out a guy and the very next batter starts out 3-1. It's totally random. You would think the flow of the game would have some influence. But nope, it's totally random which I'm not fan of.

Sweet thanks for the tips. I tried one game to test the waters and we were tied 2-2 in the 9th and he got three straight singles to win. Not a bad game. I know what you mean about not every card working for everyone. Luis Robert monthly and Bobby Witt Jr. Who admittedly are solid cards did all the heavy lifting while Frank Thomas, George Brett etc just popped out. Tomorrow I'm gonna dive in. Thanks again.

This one is a head-scratcher for sure. Makes no sense to me.
Makes for really quick games. So everyone has a chance at the rewards
Lol there's 3 events to get these rewards. These are already only 3 innings. No need to shorten any further. Might as well roll a virtual die to determine the winner.
If you think that’s the case you’re going to be really disappointed with your results. Having quick counts on only widens the gap between good players and average players. But you go on thinking it’s a [censored] shoot.

I love quick counts and in these 3 inning games it moves things along
Also I feel like it cuts alot of the garbage players try and pull because of the randomness of the accounts

I get what your saying man

Quick counts should start at 1-1 every time. Ridiculous how random these counts are when we are benefited/screwed from starting with 3 ball counts or 2 strike counts
Stupid programming. Make quick counts 1-1 every AB
