I guess because each press of x is an entire at-bat and not a per pitch then 'Swing' is taking your at-bat as the batter would regularly ie taking pitches as well as swinging.

I loved the throw from a knee by Machado.

Also the game looks sooo good at night.

No. Just offline.

I will say that I didn't really care for critical situations at first but now seeing it in action I can see myself using it a lot. I tend to play a few games in franchise but realistically I sim more than I play. Looking forward to the deep dive on Thursday.

I play the same way. I'll play about 4-5 full games when the game first comes out, then I start doing a play one, sim 10, play one, sim 10 kinda deal.

I like to do like 20 seasons and rebuild teams completely.

Love idea of quick manage. Wonder if people who do 30 team control can quick manage for both teams or just one.

One thing that was bothersome was Sabthia only had 56 pitches in 6 innings. Maybe due to the quick button mashing to get through the stream to show off what can be done?
