Strictly franchise player here and I go back and forth on this.

On the one hand Quick Counts saves time and also (more importantly) I can draw a realistic amount of walks, it is such a bugaboo to me to have the stats thrown off to such a degree where I have BY FAR the fewest BBs in baseball. Drives me absolutely nuts to the point where I'm chasing walks more than just playing the game.

On the other hand, quick counts does take that little something away from a pitcher batter matchup and general feel/flow of a game, also the luck of the QC draw can really help or hurt you in a big spot, which is kind of annoying in a different way.

People say the OSD stats are thrown off with QC on but I haven't really noticed that.

The only reason I've thought about quick counts is to get accurate pitch counts. I haven't had an issue with my walk numbers while batting, but I almost never walk anyone while pitching because the AI swings at everything early in the count

I play exclusively with quick counts when it was introduced. I love it, keeps me engaged because it's random and gets me in and out of 162 games.

I have never tried it, and doubt that I ever will. It really seems like it cheapens the game when batting, and gives the player a huge handicap when pitching.

Been a long time franchise player and having qc on is the only way I play. Helps me get thru games faster so I can play more. Since the removal of season mode where we could shorten inning length, I just don't have the time for 9 innings without it. Also, I feel that it is more of a challenge on both sides which I like. It feels like added pressure with 2 strikes at the plate or on the mound and you have runners on with 3-1 count and need to make a tuff pitch. I like that added pressure

I play with QC but fear I miss out on presentation because of it.

mikep10 · 03-29-2020, 04:46 PM

Play with QC all the time. If I don’t my walks are less than 10 for an entire season and that drives me nuts. Also I can get more games in quicker.

I love the idea of QC’s, but I don’t like the design decision not to show the pitch count.
