Pitcher wants to control the tempo of the game. Hitter tries to upset that tempo. Everything needs to have a legitimate counter in the game to be balanced, otherwise it can be exploited.
I agree with Trying to find a balance, hence the idea of the walk up/in at bat animations. The problem that I have with the r2 is it is the only thing in the game that actually affects user input. I use pure analog pitching and I don’t know when someone is holding r2, when I pull down and get no response I either have to release it and hope they dont time their release of r2 where the game still reads me using the analog, which has happened to me before, and cause either a 50’ pitch or a ball 3’ outside the zone. Or I have to continually hold the analog stick down until they release putting pressure on my thumb as the analog is giving me resistance cause it wants to spring back to center and throws the rhythmic motion of using the analog pitching off.
Imaging hitting and the pitcher at random times right before you swing causes your input and the ball to freeze then at any random time during the freeze time period releases the pitch to finish coming in. This is an exaggerated example, but my point is, r2 is the only way another player can actually effect their opponents user input and create an advantage. And honestly I’ve played a lot of online games and I don’t think I’ve ever actually come across someone using r2 to avoid quick pitching, I’ve only experienced it when someone tries to abuse it in a key moment to cause a meat ball/ball. The only players I’ve run across that use it consistently throughout a game are the same ones who bunt dance the whole game cause their goal is the find a cheap way to to skew the game in their favor and annoy the other player

If someone wants to do that to me I’ll just slow pitch the [censored] out of them. Maybe I’m just add but that annoys the [censored] out of me the most
Honestly if I do it, that's all I want. You to slow down a tad. Especially because some stretches are glitched and quick pitching warps aninations.

This is why I won't play online. I don't deal well with people who cheat because winning is the only thing that matters to them.
Winning is all that matters. You must be a millennial.

- If a player is speed pitching from the stretch I will R2.
- If I want to see wich pitches the pitcher is confident with I will R2.
- If I want to see previous pitch locations I will R2.
None of this makes me or anyone else scum.

I had a guy the other day message me about taking too many pitches
. Something like coach giving you the take sign? Uh, sorry I prefer to swing at strikes and not junk on the corners and out of the zone. Of course he quit in the 5th or 6th inning when it was 7-2 and he’d used no less than 4 pitchers. -
people need something to stop the quick pitching..... I think balks should be made permanent to online games
