Re: This is the least fun game...

Wait.... there’s a way to deaden the bunt??? How did I not know this? I literally can’t sacrifice bunt to save my life. Everything shoots off my bad with an exit velocity to rival most weak grounders

instead of holding triangle all the way through contact with the ball, let go asap
sometimes when I'm bunting I even mistime it to the point I'm letting go right before contact but that's still preferable to a hard bunt. I'd almost want to call it a combination drag bunt/regular bunt because of its appearance but it really isn't a real drag

Re: This is the least fun game...

I forgot to quote the post, but I want to be able to bunt because it’s a thing that can be done.

As far as my problem with the 3 batter minimum, I simply don’t like it - I want to see the most likely pitcher to get a batter an out face the guy the manager thinks is his most likely hitter to get a hit. If American baseball is the pinnacle of the sport, then I want to see the most optimized possible matchup, that’s all.

Especially since the game is so “three true outcomes” oriented. I want to see the best face the best. To me, the three batter rule is akin to telling the NBA instead of waiting for a dead ball, a player must sit on the bench for 3 minutes of game time. Baseball handles this by not letting a player back into the game. It’s just a personal preference, and since it’s a video game - I wish I had the option to play the game the way I want, like OOTP.

It saps the fun for me, that’s all.
