    Deep Thoughts - Quick Counts

    First time I am trying quick counts this year, I plan to try and play as visiting team for every game for every team, probably very unrealistic so may just do one or two random games each day of the season....

    Anyway I digress.

    I like the random counts for speed of the game, but shouldnt the occasional 0-0, 0-1, 1-0 count be thrown in for good measure?

    And are the quick counts based on any ability by pitcher or team he is facing(batters)?

    For example would I see more 0-2, 1-2 counts pitching with Kershaw then with Edwin Jackson?

    And would I see more deeper counts when facing a team with good OBP% that know how to work a count?

      QC's are not based on the pitcher, it is random, at least from what I see. I love QC's but my only gripe about it this year is there a ton of 1-1 counts. Sometimes I get them 4 or 5 batters in a row. I just wish it was more random.

        The developers said they made more 1-1 counts on purpose

          I like them. I can play fast and accurate. I would say I end most games with a realistic pitch count, strikeouts and walks. It's not perfect but I can't go back to playing without quick counts turned on. I want enough realism in my games to not ruin the fun of it all. I finish most games in 20-30 minutes. Its perfect for me.

            I guess that explains that then, thanks.

              I tried to use quick counts again this year and they still don't do it for me. I like how I can get through a game in 35-40 minutes, but it takes too much fun away. I miss the presentation that a faster game eliminates, plus I just can't get into a batting strategy with them. I was really hoping they would separate quick counts for batting and hitting this year. I think I would use them as a pitcher, but just can't do it with batting.

                My problem with quick counts us that my brain doesn't reset to each new count when it is generated.

                That's why I'd rather have full ABs where I can better keep track of the count. Yes the scoreboard is on the screen but at the start of an AB you don't care about that usually.

                  I definitely use QCs with Fast Play for CPU vs CPU games. But I prefer not to use if for my own games. So when time is short I'll set the presentations to Fast Play and Button Mash after every pitch.

                  Oh but back to what the OP mentioned about starting counts. I am not sure starting 0-0, 0-1, or 1-0 for normal positional players would make sense. What is the point of having QCs on. But pitchers should be different. Pitchers should either always start with 0-0 counts or at least never start with a strike. It really messes up the batting strategy with your pitchers when they are already in the hole before you've even seen one pitch.
