Re: This game feels so scripted at times

If the user completes a late inning comeback it is
"oh my god I just played an epic game, it was so intense"

If the AI completes a late inning comeback it is
"omg this game is scripted!!"

Your so right . That's why I try to not read the non-sense on this board sometimes!!!

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

I like it the way it is. If there weren't any comebacks, or late inning rallys, then everybody would just be complaining that the amount of Saves are too high!

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

Just pitched a game with Chris Sale with my fantasy team Orioles. Playing against the Red Sox. Sale has 11 strikeouts and I'm pitching a shutout game.

Been shutting down Matt Kemp and Mike Napoli the entire game. Both have 2 strikeouts.

Top of the 9th. Score is: Orioles: 1 Red Sox: 0

Sale has 25% energy left still. Plenty.

Confidence high.

2 outs, Corey Hart on 1st.

George Kottaras (79 OVR) with 65 left power steps up to plate.

I pitch a 2 seamer fastball bottom and away and it paints the corner.

Kottaras swings, hits, 2 run shot to right.

Red Sox win 2-1.

The last out I needed, i pitched to the outside and low with a FULLY confident 2 seamer which has been my best pitch all night gets DESTROYED for 410 feet by a 79 OVR player with a 65 power rating against left handed pitchers.

Ok whatever you guys say.

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

To the op, maybe it's simply because you got nervous? Trust me, I played an online game losing 4-0 until bottom of the 9th, the guy just starting getting frightened since his ace Julio Tehran wasn't in anymore (went 7.1) and he couldn't figure it out. I won in the bottom of the 9th, and I am no CPU.

Trust me you are just getting freaked out at the end of the game, ultimately leaving pitches in a bad spot. But even more importantly, you have to factor these players do have a clutch rating, that will influence their mistake making tendencies and never say die-ness likewise. Also to your last example, not to sound like a smarty pants, don't leave a two seamer over the plate to anyone with nothing to lose and 2 strikes. It can vanish. I don't feel rigged, I've played many games, and I can close games out. I've also lost many close ones just as much, and I know that earth is falling feeling, nothing can go right for this guy, WTH :almost cries: type of feeling. I still don't feel like it is rigged, it just replicates baseball too much.

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

People need to take themselves out of the equation here for a second and just observe how the CPU plays the game. You know CPU vs CPU games. I recently picked up NBA2k14 because I heard good things about the graphics and I wanted to see what the PS4 console was capable of doing. But I don't want to go through the growing pains of learning how to control the players with the controllers. Maybe in the future, but not now. So I am emulating the NBA playoffs right now with a series of CPU vs CPU games using the Broadcast view and there is no evidence whatsoever that NBA2k14 is scripted. Every game has been different. And the same can be said about MLB14 The Show. We are not there yet, but I predict in 10 or so years from now, it will be difficult to tell the difference between the real world and the game play in some of these games.

Exactly, what if that Rays 7-0 comeback on the last day of the season that qualified them for the playoffs (2 years ago) happened in this game. I could just see the player coming here calling for an CIA investigation into SCEA San Diego about that, just freaking out

That's baseball.

If it's been your best pitch all night it's pretty safe to assume you've been throwing it for a majority of the night.

If you are surprised a batter picked up on that the fourth time through the order then that mistake is on you.

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

I was down 9-0 in the second inning and came back to win 10-9 vs the sox. I was just up 3-1 on the mariners and lost in the 9th 4-3.

162 games.

First team to 1 doesn't always win.

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

Yeah, not seeing any scripting at all. Various results from winning close, winning big, losing close, losing big. QC + Dynamic User here.

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

I would say invest 40 million dollars in your bullpen next season. Im sure you get the 4 best bullpen pitchers and then you won't have this problem at all.

Real life baseball feels so scripted at times...

Why do the Mets have to blow leads every single game? It's baseball, it's going to happen every once and a while. But it's gotten to the point where this drama happens every game of the season.

So both Kemp and Napoli couldn't touch the 2 seamer, but Kottaras with 79 overall and a 65 power rating vs lefties hits a 410 ft big fly?

Sure I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt.

it's possible. it isn't likely, but it doesn't really matter how likely it is to happen when it comes to baseball. I understand your stance on what you described. I turned the CPU contact slider all the way to the left and they still hit well - just more realistic since their PCI isn't covering 80% of the plate all the time.
