I absolutely love this game and there is literally only one thing bugging me and im surprised nobody has mentioned it. I dont know if its only related to QC but the pitch counts are all messed up. They simply dont count the pitch when the ball is put in play and it happens every at bat. For example, first guy up has 1-2 count and grounds out (thats 4 pitches). Next guy comes up with a 3-0 count and it will show 6 pitches instead of 7. This happens every batter.

If there is a thread on this can someone send me a link. I tried a search and found nothing.

I don't think the pitch count is meant to be exact when using QC.

From the strategy guide:

"As a rough guideline, if a game would have had 145 pitches thrown without Quick Counts, then with Quick Counts on that would translate to about 80 pitches 'actually thrown' plus an additional 105 'simulated pitches' for a total of 185 pitches. As a compromise for realism, the game corrects for this inflated number by subtracting 1 pitch per plate appearance for display purposes, so that a pitcher's individual pitch count will appear more comparable to a regular game. An extra pitch is subtracted for at-bats ending on a 3-2 count."

Lol... I see plenty that needs to be cleaned up in this game. Doesn't mean I'm unhappy or am only looking for something wrong... Hell when something happens that shouldn't... What are you suppose to do.... Just turn into a mute?... You talk like there's no middle ground. It is a great game and has been for a number of years, personally I don't think it's one of their better releases, but my thinking is with the ps4 they probably had more to deal with too.. Who knows. But button line there's plenty of room for improvement in this series same as most things in life. Btw... If you go through life ignoring the things that are wrong.... Well you can figure the rest out.

The pitching interface ain't bad either.

It looks like we will get our wish regarding this issue http://theshownation.com/bug_reports/13002

Thanks for the suggestion. We are always looking to improve the overall feel of the game. This will be something we will look into for the future.

LOL, okaaaay...

No one is saying the game is bad, but when you've played the game for 5 years or more and continually see the same legacy issues, it grates on you. I enjoy the game the same as I did when I first played many years ago...but for next gen, I was kind of hoping the experience would be significantly better, and in many ways it's not.
