No I'm not quick pitching. People be pressing this [censored] button alllll game. I can understand the first time I bring out a pitcher you wanna check the pitches etc. After that? It's purposeful exploit.

You do realize it shows the location of all of the pitches you've thrown in that at-bat, right? It's not just about checking the pitch repertoire. It can be used to help see patterns in what you are throwing.

Do some people abuse it to slow down the game to a crawl even if you aren't quick pitching? Absolutely. However, R2 serves a purpose and it won't be going away any time soon.

How does holding it the second and third pitch show my tendencies fam? Ive thrown one pitch.

People tend to revisit locations. Sometimes I use R2 to check the exact spot and line up my PCI. It's led to more than a few perfect perfect homeruns.

Doesn't take r2 Every Pitch to figure that out. It takes one time.

Stop holding and spamming R2 EVERY pitch. I just want one game without the spam just one. SDS deactivate the [censored] button in Rs. It's still messing with the timing!

Stop putting players that are free agents in these packs please. A waste of 2-3 spots every time. Free Agents don't help at all.

For those who say perfects Don die out on the track. This is during a rookie conquest game.

You playing CPU on Rookie you deserve no Hrs lol I wanna see same thing on legend and HOF.

There's most definitely a conspiracy of response in game vs whoever has 5g or regular ol LTE.

@lord-oimak_xbl said in friendly quit:

playing a ranked season, he was throwing deGrom and I was throwing Cabrera...now mind you my rating is 550. I'm average at best but before this year I only played franchise and RTTS. this is my first year of DD. So getting to 550 is awesome, i completed 50 wins in Events now my record was 50-43, but hey I did it. His ranking was 575 or something. So 4th inning 0-0 I have 4 hits he has 2, he requests friendly quit. I decline, he then pauses messages me to resend the friendly quit cause neither of us is hitting. I ignore and continue on, 7th inning I get a solo off deGromm, he gets a 2 run HR off Cabrera, go to the 9th first pitch of the top of the 9th I tie it, first pitch bottom of the 9th he wins it lol. It was a fun game, bottom line i don't get better by quitting. of course he sends me a message about what karma it is that I didnt accept the friendly quit. I explained i dont get better by quitting, and losing happens its not the end of the world, he then told me to stay mad....really? is this how it is?

Youve got to remember this game is the only resemblance to winning any of these people have in life. The people that get on here and brag have literally found their life's calling and they want to tell people about it.

@lankyryan_psn said in Number of questions about DD mechanics:

I agree that the community deserves answers to a lot of these questions, but I'm not sure this is the best way to accomplish that. I know I wouldn't be stoked to take a seat at the table and dish out some answers if I'm getting pinged nonstop on my workplace forum.

Just because I don't think this is the best way doesn't mean I think anyone is wrong for wanting answers. SDS should do something like a weekly recurring series where developers/business systems analysts/whoever take a dive under the hood and open up about specifics of how certain mechanics of the game work with and against each other. How attributes are calculated. What specifically they do from a coding perspective and end user perspective. Acknowledge glitches/bugs and say when a fix is coming. Etc. Etc. Etc. And if not a weekly series, something else.

TL;DR- More transparency, acknowledgement, and openness is needed somehow, but I totally get SDS employees' trepidation about it being on here.

I do t think they can do this. It would reveal specific information and coding for any competitor to take I'd imagine. Great Idea tho.

How can you tell they're contact swinging so I can know what to look for. It all looks the same to me .

@kevin-ate-nine said in What's better: Pure Analogue or Directional:

Don't mention zone. My brain isn't wired for it and I want to have fun. I use both and I have moments where I feel each is better or worse so idk If they're the same or not.

Analog for sure. I was directional guy till someone put me into analog. It's been great! It will be annoying not being able to control the PCI because if your guy has low vision his PCI will show up on the other side off the strike zone for some reason. But if you're already good at timing pitches and waiting for spots go analog. People will say what they want about Zone but look at all the posts complaining about it and it's results. Go with what YOU prefer.

@letsgotopr_xbl said in The tricks, the gimmicks, the friendly quit requests:

The bunt dancing, the pausing after every single batter, the friendly quit request after going down a single run. What are we doing here? I turn on Xbox to play a fun game of baseball and everyone else is chasing some imaginary mountaintop where this somehow counts for something. Grow up.

Sometimes it's not what you think. I found out playing a friend that checking the quirks of a player from the quick menu pauses the game. I'm not on this next one but pressing r3 to check the shift might pause it too. Everything else you said, definitely agree. Changing defense arrangement pauses I think too.

An actual BJ Upton card and Melvin to answer the question.

@dr-mantis-tobgn_psn said in Early 2000's players you love and want to see:

Watched the Woodstock '99 documentary on HBO last night (an awesome watch btw, check it out) and it got me super nostalgic for that time period. Besides the obvious sluggers (Sosa, McGuire, Bonds...) what early 2000's stars would you like to see that aren't in the game this year. For me:
-Jake Peavy
-Johan Santana
-Joe Mauer

Does it really matter? Everyone would have the same team anyways

Just said he played a 15 inning game on Legend with 5 HITS!!!! 5 HITS!!!! If he cant hit, then how the hell are we supposed to?!?! hahaha

Yeah, but did he bother to look at the screen? Or did he spend the entire game gazing lovingly at himself in a mirror and trying hard to think about baseball?

hahaha well said. he is pretty narcissistic. Mcgunski is usually my go to as far as elite pitchers but hes been busy lately lol so ive been stuck with Kyle

KevinGoHD is some grade A entertainment I tell ya! Check him out!

Sanchez Renfroe Machado Merrifield.. possibly a Sean Murphy card too...pitching ? Idk people been getting blown up all mnth outside of Degrom

When you're doing a pitching moment with two AL TEAMS and they coded to make you bat . Just prolonging things.

@schnauzerface said in I am back, and I have learned many a great lesson:

Good morning, simulated baseball competition enthusiasts,

Today, my 30-day sentence in virtual isolation has been lifted. I have learned many valuable lessons whilst serving this fair, just, and necessary suspension. I would like to apologize on behalf of my fans, the SchnauzerFace organization, and to all the people who believed in me. I am a reformed human, and, in the future, I vow to make only positive* comments regarding my fellow forumites' sisters.

As a means of making amends for my unabashedly lascivious rhetoric, I would like to compliment each person who responds to this post. Please tell me one brief detail about yourself, and I will affirm your worth and dignity by highlighting your innate truth, beauty, and goodness.

To prove to my forum brethren that I have truly turned my life around, I will drop the former name of "SchnauzerFace" and all its lewd, libidinous connotations that are attached to said moniker. In the spirit of making a complete 180-degree turn, I shall no longer answer to SchnauzerFace and shall henceforth be known only as PugButt. Forthwith.

I bid you all a good morrow.
His Excellency, The Most Reverend Boris J. PugButt (nee SchnauzerFace) III, esq.

*please note that by "positive" I do not mean the same kind of licentiously "positive" comments that lead to my ousting from forumnal society.

You are a gentleman and a scholar
