@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS said in I really wish there was a wimp mode for online play:
If you can hit and pitch I’m 100% confident you learn to run towards the gigantic flashing baseball that shows you were to stand and catch the ball automatically.
The bases are in the shape of a Diamond on your controller. Hit X throw home, hit triangle throw to 2nd. Should take between 30-60 seconds to completely master both aspects of defence.
Except that wasn't the mechanic (for throwing) that I was given -- instead it seemed to be press the button for the base and HOLD the button until the meter got into the green (but not too long as it would then go red) and if you timed that right it would actually throw the damned ball to the base as expected.
That was in a ranked game. A mode that I typically won't go near. I was doing it because I wanted to try to progress a bit in the Easter Egg program.
Hitting the button to throw to a base is fine by me. Holding it down to put more effort into the throw is fine by me. Timing the damned button presses is just damned annoying to me.
