Pitching Change on Quick Counts

[richmondn96]

When I have quick counts on, I am unable to make a pitching change in the middle of an inning before the next at-bat begins and the count goes to 3-2, 2-0, etc. Say you get a right handed batter out and want to bring in a lefty to face a lefty batter. Is there a trick to make the pitching change before the next at bat begins?

I mean, to be honest, if I have a righty on the mound and I want to pull him to put in a lefty, or just any other reliever, then I just make the switch and then assume the second reliever started the at bat, because on quick counts, you're gonna fast forward into the middle of the at bat no matter what.

I guess that works, it just feels weird making a pitching change in the middle of an AB (unrealistic).

its why quick counts suck IMO. but to be as realistic as possible with QC on, you probably just have to bring in a reliever at the start of the next inning.

I found a possible workaround for this if you go into Quick Manage and then change pitcher through there I believe it resets the count.

Did you try this? you say you "believe" it resets the count. If you have a workaround shouldn't you try it first?

QC have been requested for years. Glad they put it in. Like one poster said, just pretend the new pitcher did it.......it's a video game.

It doesn't bother me about the count because I just assume it's the count you start off with when a new guy comes in anyways

A halfway workaround: if you're planning for your RP at the start of the inning, go into the Bullpen through the menu and schedule him to come in for the next inning while you're at the plate. Then you'll be prompted, asking if you still want to bring him in and this will happen before a pitch has been thrown even in Quick Counts. Only works for the start of an inning though.
