How do you argue?

[vegaas]

I am a couple of weeks into my season and still have never the option to argue a close play yet. Is there something I need to do?

There is no option for it it just comes across the screen(argue).When the other manager argues a call you become the ump and can toss him

Yeah, as far as I know , you can only argue when prompted to do so.

If you're wanting to argue as much as MVP allowed (i.e. after ANY play at the push of a button) you'll be disappointed.

Ah, I do miss relieving myself of managerial duties simply by disputing some play beneficial to my team . . .

Re: How do you argue?

The breakdown of arguments...

There are six types of calls you can argue:

1) Your pitcher getting ejected
2) Opponent's pitcher NOT getting ejected after beaning your batter
3) Close play (out/safe)
4) Close play (fair/foul)
5) Close play (diving catch near the ground)
6) Plate collisions (malicious intent)

No arguments happen on plays that include injuries.
No arguments online.
No arguments once your manager is ejected.
No arguments on last play of an inning.

Pitcher ejected/not ejected arguments only happen 50% of the time (random).
You can only have 3 close play (out/safe) arguments in a game.

When you are arguing, you have a chance to be ejected when in the "red zones" on the meter. Every time to pass a "red zone" you get a morale boost and that "red zone" goes away. If you complete one temper level, you will be given another. There are three temper levels overall. Each temper level gets tougher in that each button press moves the bar less and the "red zones" get bigger.

When in two player, the non-arguing player controlls the umpire. This is very hard, but you have to press the correct button (random face button, no triggers or bumpers) when the other arguing user is in the "red zone". The system prevents button mashing, so you have to wait for it.
