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.

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!

No...he means an out or a base hit on the first pitch(0-0).

Yeah but can't the give and take be the fact that foul balls are not counted in the QC

Agreed....this seems like one of those things that I'm not going to dwell on too much, now that Ramone explained how it's working. Speaking of which, I'm really glad he did that because we'd probably have been trying to figure this out all year otherwise.

It seems like a roundabout way of going about it, but it's obvious that just trying to play it straight (i.e. having first pitch outs possible), was creating headaches for the devs and that this was the better option.

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.

You guys seriously think of everything.

O boy I remember those days during the development cycle. Yeah we tried that it was (Charles Barkely voice) terrible.

Was any of that the new dynamic camera?

I don't think that would be as good IMO.
It's going to be roughly 27 pitches now from what I gather.
You could easily get a couple of foul balls per batter and then some of those epic battles as well.
That might be too much.
Either way....it's discounting pitches....
So... ...right?
