I "believe" it worked because I dont have access to my Playstation as I am in the middle of a move. I seem to remember it resetting the count but I dont know without a doubt. If anyone wants to try it they are more than welcome but I dont have access to my Playstation.

I think it would be cool to have a quick quick count option that is available for each at bat. In certain situations, I like to ambush the first pitch which you can't ever do with QC. I gave up on QC from the outset, just not realistic.

The problem with quick count is if you bring in a reliever in the middle of an inning, if the count favors the batter (1-0, 2-0, 3-1 etc.) and you walk the batter, the walk is given to the pitcher you replaced. If that player eventually scores, the run is counted against the pitcher you pulled.

By MLB rules, that is correct. If a pitcher is replaced mid count and the count favors the batter, the removed pitcher is responsible for him.

If they add one step to the process it would eliminate this problem. When a new batter steps into the box, don't automatically generate the new count. Require us to hit X to generate the quick count. This would give us the opportunity to change pitchers first.
