Quick Counts: Pinch Hitters and Relief Pitchers

[franch1se]

I only hate quick counts when I want to sacrifice bunt with my pitcher and he comes to the plate with 2 strikes already.

Just to update this, I've tested this a bit and the game is not re-generating counts when you substitute a pitcher or hitter.

I've never once gotten a different count after subbing a guy in. Kind of a bummer.

I've noticed this, but I figured that was how it was supposed to work.

I mean, if it re-generated wouldn't that be pretty easy to exploit? Example: if I'm pitching late in the game and the next batter comes in with an 3-0 count, why not just go ahead and go to the bullpen in hopes of a better count?

The same thing for batting... Let's say your down a run in the bottom of the ninth, one of your decent players is up to bat and gets a 0-2 count. Why not just sub him for someone equal or lesser to hope for a count more in your favor?

I see the other side to it as well, but in my opinion, the way that it's set up now is the most "fair" way.

Yeah, I also considered this. It's a fair point as well.

I've already thrown 2 no-hitters using Quick Counts.

I threw one with Sabathia, and then another only 2 weeks later with Tanaka.

Quick Counts is the way to go.

I can confirm that the counts do NOT regenerate, and I can also confirm that the best way to counteract this is to be quick with the options button. For me, it seems to be easier to get a new hitter with his own count than to get a pitcher.

love the quick counts just wish they were in the "Show Live " games not just exhibition and online

I've seen other people say this but it has NEVER once regenerated for me.
