:R2, bunt dancing, the dam pausing, quick pitching, side stepping etc. All needs to be fix somehow. Oh don't forget the dam internet/ server problems on top of all of that too.
I will only hold R2 if I get to a 3-2 count so I can see where the previous pitches were thrown. (Unless my opponent is quick pitching; then I'll hold it until they slow down their pitching.)
I faced someone last night that held R2 after EVERY pitch. It was annoying.
I usually don't face someone that bunt dances unless they're getting beat or they think I'm taking to long to pitch.
The quick pausing really doesn't bother me that much because it hurts them more then me as they lose pause time.
Quick Pitching needs to go. There should be a few second delay from when the pitcher gets the ball to when they can actually pitch. Or they need to turn balks back on.
Side Stepping should only be activated when someone is on a base.
Also, they need to get rid of the runner being able to return to a base; if they're trying to steal the next base. None of this running back and forth BS.
Also, the SOTS cards should ONLY work for someone when their the homestead. And their should be settings where these can be turned off; If a player chooses to do so. Naturally the person that has them activated can still hear them. But the other player should be able to turn them off if they want.

:I hate bunt dancing, however, someone posted a while ago that they bunt dance because it helps them with their swing timing. I do not do that, but maybe it does help some.
No way … I have seen lots of players do it … almost always when they fall behind

I do not get all of that.
R2 - you could fix that and make stamina visible all the time and only allow it once (e.g.) per AB
Bunt dancing - Limit it to 1-2 times per AB
Pausing - What ?!?!?
Quick pitching - What ?!?
Side Stepping - Is part of the game and hurts the pitcher too -
Few things are more enjoyable than hitting a juke off someone that quick pitches each time as soon as someone gets to second.

@DGvsTheWorld its 2024 and we are still allowing bunt dancing to get in our heads lol. Its not that deep.

To fix bunt dancing, increase the time it takes a hitter to reset and swing. Most professional baseball players would never be able to make any significant contact while squaring to bunt multiple times.

i Dont mind at all when people bunt dance. It means your timing will be off and you are most likely not focusing on the 'chess' of the game. I beat bunt dancers daily. When you bunt dance, you've already lost.

Atleast someone in this post had the sense to say they need to fix the way online servers operate. To heck the r2 or dancing. The real problem is the connections. I think r2 could use a tone down but let them dance away. Sometimes I hold out the bunt and then pull back to hit. Probably placebo but it gets me back on track. The dancing is comical but I mostly throw strikes or what looks like a strike so don’t get to much of it. It sucks waiting 4 or 5 pitches to get a strike but that’s baseball somtimes. Of course I’m a way below average player. 700- 900 record not ranking. lol but I enjoy it. Been playing since the first Nintendo days.

@BiigD008 Or better yet, lock them in the bunting position after the second time and they do the back and forth and have no choice but to watch me throw a ball out of the zone for a free strike.

Doing that is one thing, but with the bunt dancing, it is usually just one of many things these sub human cheating cheesers do. When they bunt dance with ever batter, you can bet your last dollar they will also be quick pitching, using all outlier starters in relief, exploit animations, choose rain, and usually have the loser clown uniforms too.
I no longer have the tolerance for this garbage, because 9 times out of 10 SDS will reward this type of gameplay, and no matter how many times they are reported suffer zero consequences. I simply walk away. I don't need to deal with sub human trash. If they get their points towards a ranking they don't deserve so be it.
Toxic players need lifetime bans, but SDS could care less about players who cheat, but if anyone gets so much as ONE stub in a manner they don't like they can't ban that player fast enough.
