The pause timer

@lewisnadasurf1
You know what else is really common in other sports games? 30 seconds or you lose. How broken down are some of you guys that you can’t tell wether you need to go potty in the next 30 minutes or not.

Some people have emergencies that pop up in the middle of a game.
You all sound like it takes hours to play a game.

Another side of this that maybe should get more discussion or attention is WHEN the game allows the pause.
The mid at bat pauses should go away, for one. There is already the D pad step out/call time for if the pitcher is taking too long.
The “I’m tired of my opponent fouling off pitches so I’m going to pause and then try to sneak a fastball by him” tactic needs to go away, as well.
I know pitching changes can be made in the middle of at bats irl, so I begrudgingly accept these, but in summary, I think the game should not otherwise allow pauses in the middle of an at bat.
.02 cents worth.

The thread started with someone complaining about a cheaser who ran the pause timer down on purpose … having too much pause timer to spend to „I do not like pausing when I do not like it“ …
Guys, SDS did a poll about it … so not one thread, where 12 people complained … a poll, where prob lots of people told them how to reduce it. So they were aware of something … Reducing is awesome, getting rid of … not.
… but hey, it is a video game. If you don‘t want people to take a quick break (which most do … not everyone is a cheaser), then go out and play real baseball … This last paragraph should not be taken too seriously

Yeah but I’ve had ranked games last for over an hour before. 30 seconds won’t work.
If they reduced it that much I wouldn’t play ranked. I like to have a drink and play. I need my bathroom breaks. Getting old. Can’t hold it in.
Like I said. A quick menu should be available
And maybe 3 minutes each, 5 times maximum pausing per game. And the time doesn’t keep going up.
For BR and events. 1 minute maximum.

Make it like a chess timer. You run out of time, you lose.

@halfbutt I agree with this. I hate pitching changes in the middle of an at bat. It’s cheese in my opinion.
-
@lewisnadasurf1 150 seconds total, (no refresh) is plenty of time for the pause menu. My opinion.

Ehm … You can do that IRL so why not in the video game?

@YOSHI24 well, balks are in real life but not in the game. Again, I’m well aware I’m in the minority on wanting balks in the game. I mean……it’s whatever I guess. Not gonna keep me from playin.
