Practice swing

When, and why, did they take this out of H2H modes?

I seem to remember people complaining about the practice swing slowing down online play.The pitching player couldn’t select a pitch and go into the delivery until the practice swing was finished.
There was a bunch of hoo-ha about it on here and SDS removed it. I want to say this was around MLBTS 19?

Why in the world would you want it?

Ah, so the quick pitchers complained. Gotcha.

Thank God I started playing online in 2020 this would have drove me nuts. I’m floored this was ever a thing all you do is hit X to swing, if you need practice doing that do it on your own time playing single player

Could you still press R2 and see where the pitch went? If so, what’ll stop people from just doing that and keeping it pressed down.

That was a thing too, which is why they now limit that to once per AB. -

Now I know why only ~200 people where playing the game online during the month of June and July which I assume is peak for a baseball game. Seems like they’re nitpicking away really random things out of the game. Not saying these are deal breakers but it literally takes a millisecond to do those things.

The point is that people were abusing those things to mess with their opponent’s pitching delivery and induce meatballs.

@halfbutt_PSN Okay. I get that then. Kind of like pausing between pitches.
