Brandon Beachy on the Braves. Saw the first pitch "come" out of his "hand" and thought of this thread immediately. Check it out. I have no time to react. This is gunna be a loooong game haha

beachy doesnt have a signature motion, so that motion belongs to whoever was assigned to beachy.

Gotcha. Whoever's it was sucked! Haha I had to sim the game, it wasn't fair. I may just reload my franchise, but think I got the game before it not saved...I just checked, his motion is Sanchez's.

The delivery looking like a replay on full fast-forward thing started happening with my RttS after the last update. It's pretty annoying, especially with glitch pitchers.

Mike Gonzalez, Orioles, this guy has a lot of awkward movements in succession.

i'd like to nominate Bronson Arroyo, specifically for his pitching out of the stretch. i get a man on base, but when he goes into the stretch, his wind up goes into slow motion for part of it, then speeds back up. very difficult to time with analog hitting.

it's usually an advantage to make a pitcher pitch out of the stretch, not with him though.

Re: Can we please start a list of "glitch" pitchers...

It's been there since The Show 09, it seems like it's deliberate.

What? Are they insane? It's not physically possible to throw a pitch the way it happens here. Maybe we're thinking of different things. I'll upload a video next time I see it, because no sane or competent person would put this into a game willingly. When I mean "fast forward" I mean the entire delivery and pitch occur in maybe a quarter of a second. The pitcher does his full delivery in a way that would destroy any human's tendons and the pitch almost teleports to the catcher. That cannot possibly be deliberate. Probably a glitch. And when your competition is the 2K series of baseball games, why bother fixing glitches? 2K couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag, let alone make a baseball game.

Re: Can we please start a list of "glitch" pitchers...

I mentioned this I think in the RTTS thread, but I was told by another member here that the "sped-up" regular pitching motion is a glitch or whatever that isn't supposed to be in. I notice it a lot when I'm taking leads in RTTS, but the only two motions should be the regular motion and the slide-step. I notice that when the "sped-up" motion occurs, the PS3 does something (hits overdrive or whatever) that causes things to speed up.

Yes. Faced him for the first time today. Bloody infuriating.

Try pitching with him, its about as tough trying to pitch with him as it is hitting him. Its pretty tough, bc his motion from the stretch is so fast.

Agree. I'm doing a 'chise as the Reds and I struggle with Arroyo more than anyone else in the rotation.

Re: Can we please start a list of "glitch" pitchers...

well my only conclusion is that Bronson Arroyo is an a-hole then.

ha love it! I have never liked arroyo for some reason either. maybe its the corn rows he used to wear and look like an idiot. or maybe its cause the braves make him look like cy young most of the time they face him when I know better!

Re: Can we please start a list of "glitch" pitchers...

I am not sure of his name, but some minor league pitcher on the Nashville Sounds has this glitchy delivery. When he brings up the ball into his glove, his hand holding the ball and the ball morph through the glove. Very annoying.

Re: Can we please start a list of "glitch" pitchers...

I add another vote for Jake Arrieta. Faced him in RTTS twice. Insane. Absolute madness. Ball comes out of nowhere.

Bump for Jake Arrieta. Playing as the Royals vs. him today. I might as well close my eyes and try to use the force to hit the ball.

Re: Can we please start a list of "glitch" pitchers...

I haven't seen much of most of this list yet, but I'm glad I'm not alone that's bugged out by Santana's weird pitching style. I've had sliders break in on me from him in my RTTS and I'm a right handed hitter, going from his left. How is this possible?
