Ok seriously, what gives? Am I imagining things?

I am not the type to start new topics to complain but while I will spare everyone the shtick about how the game plays sub par because we already know that, there are a few things that are just perplexing and while the venting is nice I have to wonder if anyone has answers to these questions, most of which apply back to when I started playing again (The Show 19).

1. WHY is there a pitcher batting in DD on AL vs. AL games? And why does it force me to have an AB with a pitcher in a moment with 0 hitting goals for that pitcher? Why waste everyone's time?

2. Why are there moments with inconsistent setups? Example: Moment is entirely based on hitting and doesn't have any pitching requirements whatsoever yet you still pitch your defensive side of the inning if you have multiple innings to accomplish the hitting goal. Why not skip this? Again, pointless waste of time.

3. FFS, last year there was a constant glitch (in DD, didn't notice it anywhere else) where if my 1st Baseman had to move away from the base to a certain range and I had to throw to 1st to the pitcher to get the runner out, the command doesn't register (no matter how many times I pressed the button), the 1st Baseman freezes and then eventually throws the ball somewhere else entirely than where I entered. Sometimes this happens even if he is right next to the base and can run himself (he just freezes). This was never fixed the entire year. I see it happening again in 22 and I am flabbergasted. Is this happening to anyone else??? How can this not be noticed and patched?

I mean, these things are inexcusable and some of them defy common sense. What gives?

No one cares if you excuse them or not.

2008 I could use real time weather to play at Torrey Pines.

Today I'm playing in San Diego where some schmuck has it raining cats and dogs.

If it's in the game.....oops. Wrong company.

Thanks for trolling so I can block you.

1. You either have a DH or you don't. DD doesn't. Moments are a DD mode
2. You aren't in player lock mode, why would it skip the pitching part? It's annoying but trying to code that in for certain moments and not all of them might be a bigger waste of time for them than us dealing with it
3. I've never had this situation happen so I can't speak on it

I have never remember pitching when it is only a hitting goal in a moment, It skips to the next at bat. Pitching you had to hit in the past not sure about this 22

But those are "Player Locked" Moments. If you have to say get 3 Hits in 2 innings as a team, but don't complete it in the the First inning. You have to pitch the bottom half.

ok got it, if you do not want to pitch just restart the moment and try to get the hits in the first inning. I personally like pitching so it does not bug me all that much.

I havent found those moments yet. So far any pitching moments I have had I didnt have to bat, finally.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

It literally happened yesterday.

They aren't consistent with how they handle moments.
