sometimes you gotta [censored], and i might need the pause timer to look at a pitcher analysis, - or sometimes you just gotta [censored] a lot.

Gotta love when a dude is losing against you, disconnects the game and you can't get back in after because this started happening. I have restarted my PS4, done near everyything and still have the issue.

for real

they're doing WS Pt 2 friday, they can't only cater to the players who finish everything in a few days... I think they've been great at consistently pumping out hq content.

I would prefer someone slidestepping over someone pausing and taking forever. Especially the added perk of them having less control.

the big thing i've noticed last couple days is people rapid fire pausing and unpausing... like the only person's flow you're screwing up is your own and at that point, just take the L and quit if you need the bush league stuff like that.

Let me guess, you use slidestep every pitch when using Kenley?

I actually didn't even get jansen until today and yet to use him in the game!

but no, i don't use it that often per se, i use it as part of mixing in other pitches out of the stretch, i might throw 2 4smrs back 2 back, with one out of the slidestep just to present a different look.

any updates on this?

used ryan feierabend as an opener... rough but made it through by robbing a couple big hits, including a homer.... too fun.

nothing like stealing with todd helton, i tell ya

why are you such a complainer? pitching ain't what it used to be and 3 inning games is already not baseball - idk, you might be a giant douchebag to go on here and complain about the video game. sorry, no way around it.

fwiw, slide step does reduce command and it is harder to pitch and relievers stamina drains too.

just be better?

10th inning is coming soon?

Adjusting your 2B depth is the key against bunters. I love a good drag bunt, both using them and facing them - gotta love stifling it with the adjustments and then smacking a dinger over their head once they've adjusted to your bunts. It's part of the game, it's not exploitive - just play defense and pitch better.

nah, that's baseball suzyn.

getting a good jump is important, but so is messing with the pitcher's timing such that sometimes, i'll take a lead with a guy when I have zero intention of stealing in that moment, or at all ever with that player - just to get the pitcher thinking about it. ALMOST never is more then one step lead necessary off first. Stealing third is much harder, but if the ss or 2b aren't holding you and the catcher isn't godly OR the pitcher is slower to the plate out of the stretch, you can get it done. More then the abilities of the runner or catcher, is how long it takes for the pitcher to get the ball to the plate. Also, when you get into rundowns, knowing how to stop the guy from running at all (r2+l2) can really mess with people who assume you're just going to turn back and forth.

I wish SDS would listen to this kind of thing, which gets brought up fairly often — especially to cater to people who can’t always find time to play RS. I don’t have kids, but I am the primary caregiver for a disabled loved one. It is not often that I can say with absolute certainty that I have the next 45 minutes to an hour free to play a game of RS. Last year, I suspect probably a third of my total losses came from having to quit out of a game unexpectedly.

Offline is so much easier on people with hectic lives, but it’s unfortunately clear that SDS looks at offliners as second-class citizens.

"Because DD is an online mode"

There I said it so no one else needs to.

yeah, the point being made is that it shouldn't just be an offline mode.

@yanksthebest said in Opponent Pausing ?:

You should get 3 minutes total for 9 innings, no reason to add time to that. If you can’t deal with that you should not play online. Wish SDs has some brains and changed pause time.

or you could just not complain. there are legit reasons to pause. i like to look at pitcher's analysis, change defensive alignments, make substitutions. all part of the game, using the tools given to me.

I pause to adjust the defense sometimes. It could happen multiple times an inning depending on what is going on.

Press down on your dpad you can adjust defense without pausing

that's still a pause, the timer still goes down during a quick menu pause.
