Last few games I’ve played when I hold L2 to throw to first and press O it just fast pitches and this has cost me dearly. I cannot get it to work. L2 shows it’s engaged but it just fast pitches and won’t throw to the base. Happening to anyone else? I’ve only been playing ranked so not sure if it’s happening elsewhere

They changed something about the controls this year and added a thing where it like... slows down time for your pitch? Or something? Which I don't MIND being present, but they should've assigned it to a different button.

It’s gotten so bad I just step off now instead of trying to pitch out. I tried last season and lost in the 9th on a wild pitch and his runner scored from second. Many issues with this broken game unfortunately.

They work for everybody I play against tho.
