Certainly agree that OOTP pitching model has it's limits. It is what it is, I guess

Again no problem with anyone that decides to not use warmups and why I stated it's not a cheat.
Not you, but many, would take what I said without the disclaimer as "my way" being superior and "not cheating"
You find it immersion-breaking. I find it adds immersion despite the shortcomings. Markus giving us options and so many ways to play is a strength of OOTP. I find your posts informative and well reasoned. Agreeing to disagree with you is not a bad thing.
