Re: MLB 14 The Show Gameplay Video - Quick Counts: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red

exactly lol its like algebra

(ball + strikes) -1 per AB = Pitches unless (ball +strikes =5) -2 = Pitches???

(x +1) - 1 = 4 what is x

I like it!
SCEA is trying to recruit smarter game players!
(oh crap....does this mean I can't play any longer? )

I get that some people want shorter games, I can't picture myself using this option though. Takes away the battle between the pitcher/batter completely. I want to earn walks, or earn a hit on a 3-2 count after laying off tough pitches the whole at bat, or fouling off a bunch of pitches.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Gameplay Video - Quick Counts: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red

Make me wonder if RR and the rest of "The Show" team had an over/under wager on how may days it would take for the community to catch on to what appeared to be a pitch count discrepancy or if they thought no one would pay too much attention...

It's in the strategy guide.

As a rough guideline, if a game would have had 145 pitches thrown without Quick Counts, then with Quick Counts on that would translate to about 75 pitches 'actually thrown' plus an additional 115 'simulated pitches' for a total of 190 pitches. As a compromise for realism, the game corrects for this inflated number by subtracting 1 pitch per plate appearance, so that a pitcher's individual pitch count will be more comparable to a regular game.

'Simulated pitches' drain less energy to balance out fatigue loss.

I'm liking the tower structure with the OSD's!
Looks nice.

This is partly why I'm torn on QC's. On one hand, faster games sound fantastic.

But on the other hand not getting the chance to start out with early counts takes away a lot of the act of playing baseball for me. I want to work a count or jump on a first pitch fastball.

would like to have Keystone do some QC and try to get average counts when a pitches is up and trying to move the runner on a sacrifice

I can understand maybe it was the only way they could get it implemented jus little disappointing as anytime im watching real game or playing the show I always liked to know how many pitchs the pitcher has thrown even pushed pause to go check see how many pitches the pitcher has thrown and was hoping in this mode they were gonna be accurate ..

I like this quick count business, took about 3 minutes for a full inning, so say around a half hour to get through a game.

I will definitely use it in my franchise to get through more games but I will probably turn the option off for certain games within my franchise where I wanna have those battles with an opposing team's ace or inter-division matchups.

I take it as QC is something to only use when time is a factor or you just really wanna get through a few games in one sitting without spending four hours... BUT if u have the time to sit and go through a full game without QC then by all means go for it . That's my mindset on it . I love the concept of QC but definitely won't use it every game. It'll be the ace up my sleeve .

I don't get it, its a cool feature and all but does this mean there is no 1 pitch outs or basehits in this mode ?

If you are a realism fanatic a mode like this will never be satisfying. This mode makes the game of baseball approachable for people who find the time requirement to play a game daunting. It will offer a pretty fulfilling experience in a quick package. It won't be for everyone.

I actually find the idea of QC's just as useful for people that do have a lot of time. They are the types of players that want to get through as many games as possible since they play so many.

Why would you think there were no base hits in this mode? You can't get a 1 pitch out in QC, only mid to late counts.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Gameplay Video - Quick Counts: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red

QC is a great option to have. I personally will use QC almost all the time with the occasional game without it. No more simulating games in my franchise with this option. I think it's great!!

And the best part.... Wait for it.... you don't have to use it if you don't like it!
