In fact, I'd now like to see one-pitch mode expanded to see even more pitches to intensify the drama. It's pretty boring that all most all the time a pitch results in some kind of event in the game. So, along the lines of long foul balls being shown, I'd like to see a random called ball or strike every now and then just to heighten my anticipation. That would really improve this one-pitch mode - more pitches |

LOL I was really just asking this question in the OP a little "tongue in cheek". I certainly don't want anyone to think I was complaining. Pretty funny how many people want to conserve the rare long foul balls or dropped pick off attempts though. I never knew they were so important.

Not seeing how making something confusing is funny? Now to me, it is funny to see how the extreme minority want to eliminate what(?) maybe 6 clicks over the course of a 162 game season to save time. Really? I have 255 hours and 2 1\2 seasons in vXX. Right now I'm sitting here thinking "if we could only have made these requested changes I'd have saved about 12 seconds of my life for something else" Quote:

One last point. How about we return to my perspective which is watching the game play out while simming. All I can do is click the button "continue". There are no decisions for me to make ever. What purpose is there in me having to click it extra times during a game just to enjoy watching my team play? How about when all the decisions are made by the AI then "one click" actually means "one click" and then when you guys are actually playing out a game as the manager in that mode, you still get all your quirky extra clicks? |

As I've said, I can (sorta) see the point of the attempted pickoff at first and the error on a foul - still, I don't want to see them. I accept, as everyone should, that in playing one pitch, you're going to miss some things. But showing a foul ball - total waste of time. |

In any case I thought your original point was it gave you an advantage as you shouldn't be allowed to change your strategy if it is indeed "one pitch" mode? Now it's just a nuisance as you watch? Which is it? In any case I guess it sucks to be you, maybe a finger brace can at least limit injury |

I can see both sides of this, but in the end, the few extra clicks really don't bother me. This got me thinking back to when foul balls were first added to one pitch(may have even been before pitch by pitch was added)the game. No idea what version it was. Problem back then is you often got 2 or 3 during an at bat and I remember lots of complaints. Markus addressed it pretty quickly and it evolved into what we have today. I play classic 2D with short pbp/instant. Not that big of a deal to have to hit the space bar a few extra times.

They should have coded in a dialogue box that opens up when you select one-pitch mode that says "when you select this option you will not see foul balls that change nothing in the game, attempted pickoffs that do not result in outs, or errors on foul balls". Then the people who like making extra clicks could click "ok" on that dialogue box every game. The rest of us could click "disregard this dialogue for future games" once |

Which is it? It is exactly as I have explained in this thread. But if you can quote me about having some kind of advantage because of extra clicks, be my guest. I find your post very disrespectful to be accusing me of something with zero evidence, just sayin'

"I now get to" "whether I should get to" Your words, your posts, you saying "I". You go on talking about "such that one would change their strategy". I'll give that you said "one" but up til here you've said "I" enough that I have to believe your still talking about you. Why bring it up otherwise? Why would you worry about what others could or could not do in their solo game? Quote:

Yes, I was using it informally as a hypothetical as if I was playing a game out. However, where did I make a statement about an "advantage"? Advantage over whom? I don't see any quotes there about it giving me an advantage over someone or something(?)
Also the part you call "insulting" was also "tongue in cheek". Quote:

Surely we have beaten this dead horse enough by now.

The post simply states I thought, from your first post and then others that came later, that the ability to change strategy wasn't fair. You doubled down stating your Strat opponents would never let you change strategy. So we have to ask why? Two things come to mind... it's to your advantage or disadvantage. I assumed you wouldn't want to switch strategy to disadvantage yourself. You then went on, in other posts, to say you only watched the games so that begged the question "which is it?", do you watch or do you play? With that being the case I could simply not understand what strategy changes could possibly have to do with the issue you brought up? A hypothetical about how you don't play the game, in a post where you only mention how it allows you to change the strategy. How could I have taken it wrong? If you only watch games what possible concern would it be to you that others can change their strategy? If a player is managing a game then a dead ball does indeed allow one to switch. A guy hits a long loud foul ball, first base is open, there is nothing wrong with switching to "pitch around" or even "intentional walk". It's a solo game, let players play it their way. As far as insults it's quite funny whatever you say is "tongue in cheek" whatever you hear is an insult. |
