Why Are You Forcing Your Players to Pitch From the Stretch in 26?
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS It’s probably not 99%, but I’d bet it’s a strong majority. Probably a bigger majority than some of things they’ve changed on a whim in years past. The reality is, streamers have a louder voice than the community at large.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS That causes bigger problems because people will be friendly quitting if they aren’t the home team, not at a park they like etc.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN agree that pretty much for any video game, the majority isn’t online voicing complaints.
So y’all are right…the majority of online H2H DD players are probably for this choice
I just feel like if SDS’ goal was to shave length of time off ranked games, there’s gotta be a better way
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN Well, they do all these surveys, but I never saw any questions about this.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I don’t recall seeing it either but I feel like during the first stream, they addressed the Community stating that Ranked games took too long…which is where my assumption came in that this decision is related to that
If their goal was to reduce toxicity, I think removing the R2 spam was enough
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN I think they should do absolutely everything they can to prevent toxic behavior. DASHBOARDING should have significant consequences.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN oh absolutely. I’m all for a cooldown timer of sorts for quitting out of ranked games, or any H2H game, mid home run or before the 4th inning per se

Streamers are also the whales. Business expense.

@doobiebross66-72_PSN Bunt dancing needs to be addressed too. Just make it where you can only square to bunt once each pitch. Problem solved.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN unfortunate that I’m out of upvotes lol

I quit in the first inning all the time. I'm not playing some idiot with a political logo or a crude looking adult one (I'm cool with cleverness and subtlety in those). or someone with a ballpark that is recreating 9/11 (granted havent seen one of those in a while) or some nonsense
Also if I'm clearly outclassed and you are just passing through. happens all the time in the 500s
I've never dashboarded though, those people need every step to be on a lego.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Quitting and DASHBOARDING are different things. Quitting should not be penalized.

More needless control exercised by SDS. The action taken here is so ludicrous that it cannot logically be defended. In real baseball, pitchers reduce strain on their arms by pitching with the windup as they can get more of their lower body into the throw with a fluid motion. Obviously, the stretch is used to reduce time to the plate.
My guess is the game code won't factor any difference in pitch behavior nor pitcher fatigue, and if that is the case then it further shows how MLB The Show's code doesn't quite measure up with real baseball. Either way, the look isn't good.
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL LOL there’s plenty of logical defense in this thread. I’m typically defending realism arguments, but sometimes QOL improvement outweighs meaningless realism.
-
No more R2? Where was this confirmed?
How are you supposed to check pitch location and your opponent's shift?
I only use it once per AB.

Do you warm up pitches when you play vs CPU?
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN You can still use it to look at pitches, but it doesn’t prevent the other person from pitching.
-
If you’re worried about quick pitching now, a quick look in the pause menu will let you see pitch repertoire. I don’t play online much, but did plan on it more this year so I really don’t have a dog in the fight.
-
@The_Bane_Event_PSN You can still use R2 to see pitches. There’s also a pause between pitches to prevent quick pitching.
-
Because baseball is all about speeding up. Getting the game over and going on to the next one. Ruining the beauty of the game with impatience.
