Why Are You Forcing Your Players to Pitch From the Stretch in 26?
-
If something postively impacts 99% of players but makes 1% of players upset its probably a good change.
Yes I pulled those percents out of my [censored] but I have to imagine the amount of people upset by this change is extremely small.
Personally I would like the option to have the first pitch of each inning (or first pitch thrown by the pitcher) be the windup

@GoozeFn_PSN good points
I can see the arguments for it but I don’t agree with it
I hope they simply give the player the option to choose in H2H modes
If they do this they have to make it either on or off the whole game and allow the opponent to friendly quit in the first inning quit without your approval if you want to be inconsiderate with long windup pitchers
-
@doobiebross66-72_PSN The best way would be default no windup, but if both players have windups on in their settings, windups are on. I’m not a coder. I don’t know how feasible that is.

Agree that it should be set for the whole game
-
@GoozeFn_PSN this would be best…if they can implement it
-
@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.
