Can we get rid of the home run celebration where the players act like they don’t care

[Beefmaster]

Ryan Bliss hit his first career home run for the Mariners and everyone got up and got excited for him. But, if you do that in the game it’s that stupid thing where everyone acts like they are ignoring him at first then join in. Do we have to see that every time someone hits their first one??

I'd probably turn my head and get a drink of water or bite of something if I didn't want to see it and knew it was inevitably coming.

It’s funny you mention this because the Guardians literally just did this celebration yesterday. Brayan Rocchio hit his first career home run and the team all ignored him and randomly celebrated with Hedges instead until finally celebrating with Rocchio

But I totally agree that they shouldn’t use that every single time someone hits their first homer

It’s pretty much tradition though. Most teams do this for guys first home runs and have been doing it for years.

I use manage mode in franchise and I use fast play to speed things up between pitches and at bats. I'd prefer a return to zero cut scenes. In 2023 after the first pitch of each at bat they added a cut scene.

I suspect they have a developer assigned to making cut scenes that they think we all want to see. Similar to patches that change a player's hair style or add another uniform instead of working on franchise needs like y2y saves.

Meh…nevermind

Don't a lot of teams do this in real life though? Throughout a whole season I probably only experience a handful of guys hitting their first HR so it's not that big of a deal to me.

I don't believe they think we all want to see those cutscenes. I assume they decide on the ones that resonate most with their target audience. If you don't care for their choice of cutscenes, you're probably not the target audience.
