I don’t like it when people use R2, but there are any number of reasons why they do. As someone else stated, maybe they’re setting the PCI anchor. But maybe they’re extra sweaty and anxious, and need time in between pitches. To me, it is annoying, but not “toxic” and not against the rules.
....but you don't have to push R2 to set your anchor. It's not even that big of a deal... just wait 5 seconds to pitch and it's done. I do it intentionally if somebody is quick pitching me to slow them down. SDS has left this in the game this long, it's not toxic or cheating.

Better idea is to evaluate reports, if a player is found to be toxic just queue the player against people thet have been found toxic in a special server for them.
I don’t know if this can be done.
That would require way to much manpower, and since the game already has a ton of issues... not sure that would be the best use of said manpower.

That's why it would need many reports in a certain period of time for having a consequence for those guys (let's say 10-15 or whatever in a day... just an example) People would get that "threshold" if they play stupid, not if they win....
people would just report people to report people.

The biggest combat to R2 cheese is to just deliberately take your time between pitches. I naturally quick pitch, so I saw a lot of r2 when I first started playing. I learned that as soon as it happened once, I knew I just had to take time between my pitches and there is nothing an opponent can do about it. Yes unfortunately it makes games take longer, so I usually would just quit. Since records don't matter to me, but still, if you just wait a couple seconds then pitch. It's fine.
I do think it's stupid, because the pitcher is supposed to control the pace of the AB, but alas it's a video game not real life.

Everyone has different definitions of toxic. As stated before this will open up a Pandora’s box of exploits…..
The report button would be abused like crazy, no need to give trolls another method of trolling

Exactly this.... I had a guy hit 7 batters in one inning until game called for grieving last night after going down 2-0 in the 3rd inning. There are way too many sour players to have report option.

I am sure that we would have issue with false reporting but I am pretty sure the data would tell the real story of who is toxic. Most people appreciate good play regardless of score level. It is the non-reports that would separate the decent from the toxic.

R2 isnt toxic to me, more of a tool move… same as quick pitch every time. And bunt dancing….. but if you focus through it you normally make them quit, quick pitch guys get a negative on the pitch accuracy, and R2 guys normally are hoping you hang for a free hr, if your patient or step off the mound then it won’t work for them.
As for toxic players, people will report everyone that beats them or does a squeeze play with Frank Thomas at the plate ( which I personally abhor but it is normally bad players)

I have found that there is a limit to stepping off the mound or picking off when trying to offset the R2 and dancers. It is best just to learn to ignore it.
