Yup, but I doubt the computer will fall for it against you. Most likely they're programmed to make the best decision regardless of what it "looks" like the user is doing. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.

I caught the CPU twice at CD so they are not immune!

watch the video! lol the CPU gets caught several times

the code probably calls for the CPU to interpret a fake throw as an actual throw until the end of the animation (where the ball is not released)

then the CPU reacts as if the fielder has just picked up the ball, if they are stranded between bases, they act accordingly

really couldn't be hard to implement

I did watch the video and there are many scenerios where the baserunner is highlighted implying it's a multiplayer game. It is the easiest way to set up these scenerios to make a video.

Anyhow, nem says he saw it so it looks like I'm happy to be proven wrong. However I am slightly worried that it might be too easy to exploit it and catch the CPU too often. In that case it can always be turned off so no big deal.

I would not worry about, they are not easy!
