"Swing Away" vs. "Quick Play At-Bat"

[Myrddin111]

I'm confused as to the difference between these two options when you're managing a game. Can somebody enlighten me, please? Thanks!

They are fairly similar, especially if you are playing in one pitch mode, yet different.

“Swing away“ is just that. If you are in one pitch mode, it will show you the final pitch in that at bat. Effectively, you are telling the batter to swing away for the entire at bat.

Quick-play has the same net result of playing out the at bat, But in this case you are leaving the strategy to your AI. So, although you can’t see it, the AI might choose to have your player swing away, or take pictures, or bunt.

That’s the only difference.

Thanks for that. Makes sense.

One follow-up.... Since I'm managing the game, you're referring to the batter's AI deciding whether or not to, for example, try to bunt for a hit?

I always forget what's what, but I don't think in the quick at-bats the AI will change offensive strategy. So if you're in one pitch mode, I think they're identical (since swing away is the default offensive mode). Obviously if you're going pitch by pitch, then there will be a difference.

I defer to Matt.
