Quick Counts

No you can't do that. It will become a habit to turn on eventually.

I agree about batting without it. I moved off QC for the first time since its inception and I’m actually enjoying it much more.

I logged in here tonight to ask this specific question about pitch counts being to high. I have never used quick counts before but I'm looking for a way to shorten games. The pipe dream of playing long games whenever I want just isn't there any longer. Do you think this is a bug, or something that is here to stay?

We set it at 6 because if you look at the boxscores and minus the total AB’s from total pitches when he gets yellow it comes to about 92 pitches. Pain in the butt but it is close as we can get for now. So pretty much minus 20 pitches.

I've got CPU and Human Starter Stamina maxed out and I'm still most often seeing pitchers getting to 100 pitches/getting replaced by the 4th or 5th inning. Occasionally if they are efficient they can last into the 6th or 7th, but that's with the stamina slider maxed. Curious that you're finding good results with it at 6.

I've got decent results on default. I find it a challenge to stretch my pitcher as far as I can without injury and to get CPU out on as few pitches as possible. Ups my concentration on each pitch. Yeah the pitch counts are 130 sometimes and If they patch it great but I'm getting by how it is.

Human stamina is 6, but cpu needs to be one higher at 7. Reason is because we are able to preserve stamina throughout the game by not always holding til vibration etc. I just tap for least effort many times in a game if I'm behind in the count needing to throw a strike.

The cpu isn't able to do this. Not saying they max effort every pitch, but they aren't able to conserve stamina like we can.

Like Bryan said, if you subtract batters faced from pitch count that's going to be your true pitch count it would be in previous years with QC.

Pitch counts - average is now 22 as opposed to the normal 15 per inning - no big deal - just adjust your thinking. NEVER seen yellow on the bar . . .EVER . . Didn't know that was a thing LOL

I've been a quick counts dude for years. Even if they fix it I might not use it. Playing the game without quick counts this year the game just feels more like the real experience and much less rushed.

Absolutely. I’m not going back. There’s a bunch of stadium sounds you miss with QC on. QC also could be like a one pitch mode. You’ve got a 1-2 count….might be anxious to swing at the next pitch.
