I dont think he ever said it was intentional. I went and looked at his posts and didnt see it anyway. He did say it wasnt a bug but i have to assume he wasnt completely aware of what we were talking about.

He said it was programmed that way intentionally in my other thread, I believe.

Yeah he said it here http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-playoffs.html. I missed it when looking at his posts.

May not be a bug but it sure does need changing. Since 2010. 3 of the 40 teams that played in at least the division series have used a 5 man rotation. SF in 2012 is the only team that chose to do so on their own. STL in 2012 had to do so due to an injury to Jaime Garcia. Cincy also in 2012 had to do it because of a Cueto injury.

5 years. 3 of 40 teams. 1 willingly choosing to do so. And the way it is now you are lucky if you dont have to go with a 6 man rotation. Kershaw pitched in 2 of the Dodgers 4 games last year. Carpenter in 2012 i believe pitched in 6 games. Now way that is possible with how the energy is now.

It's possible, but your pitcher may have a heart attack by the second inning.

And the response:
1 - 3. None of these points could prevent that ridiculous dropped can of corn from happening, allowing a run to score.
4. Nothing . . . the route you took was horrible.
5. Explained above.
6. This is a good example of what I mean with the strike zone. After you threw those pitches, you checked to see the location and of the 3 borderline pitches, 2 were CLEARLY strikes, but conveniently got called balls. So now you're either (a) forced to throw a broadway strike and watch it get crushed, or (b) continue nibbling, eventually leading to walks that lead to rallies.

So yes, this is a pretty good example of the "interesting" circumstances that occur in order to allow games to be competitive.

Yep, I'll own my part in allowing the triple. Nothing amiss there. Just my inexperience leading to a poor route.

Just wanted to acknowledge I've had plenty of weird coincidences add up to comebacks too.

Not sure what to make of it, not blaming anything or anyone, just pointing it out. Maybe the Padres are secretly unbeatable and this is San Diego Studios' way of saying "What's wrong with you? A Diamondbacks franchise?" (I would be OK with that.)

If they can't program it to work correctly at this time, that's one thing. To say it's working as intended is another. Really, really getting frustrated with this franchise.

I wonder about the programming aspect as well. Love the gameplay for the most part, but the cpu ai and options for baseball strategy within the game are lacking and have remained mostly untouched for several years now.

I'm at the point where I'm praying for someone to challenge SCEA with a baseball nerdist type sim.

Just played two games.

- Game 1 I was up 4-2 in the ninth. Brought in closer. Single, walk, 3 run Jack. Typical.

- Game 2, up 11-4 in the ninth. First batter hits a Jack, 11-5. Next batter single. Next batter routine grounder to shortstop. Booted right through the wickets. Next batter three run Jack, 11-8. This game really can be ridiculous sometimes.

It's impossible to prove because the code doesn't exit. There's not one line of code in the game that makes the cpu comeback.

Glad this ain't NBA2K15...I was playing as the Clippers last night and was up by nearly 20 then the CPU just hit a switch and rolled over me!

I have no idea why this would happen to you often and not to me. I blow a save now and then, and sometimes when my pitcher's confidence is down I'll blow 2 or 3 in a 5 or 6 game span. But I save the vast majority of chances I get.

I've played at least 10 games in the past 3 days and I've given up 1 run in the 9th inning (and some were close games). So there's no way you have no control over this happening one way or another. So it apparently happens to you so much because 1) You're sliders are impacting it (I play on default sliders). 2) Your difficulty is somehow causing it (I play on All Star or HOF for everything). 3) User Error. You just forget how to pitch. Maybe you just get rattled lol

At this point, you should probably just stop playing the game. You are way too emotionally vested, IMO. I don't think there's any way you could allow your self to enjoy the game.

I agree...PAD, you need to take a step back, my friend. Too good of a game not to enjoy.

I'm way too emotionally vested because I described two examples of how the Cpu gets unrealistically good in the late innings? Perhaps you need to open your mind to the fact that this is a forum where people post about their video game experiences without being insulted or told to stop playing a game just because you don't experience what many others do.

And I play on HoF difficulty with a few slider adjustments.

There already is a nerdist-like baseball sim that blows The Show out of the water from a sim/stat perspective: OOTP. It is on PC, though. The Show has the graphics, OOTP has everythibg else.

Honestly I don't think thaSLAB meant to insult or tell you what to do... it's just that the way you frame all these "issues" make you appear more paranoiac than you probably really are.... For people like the developers who *know* for a fact what you suspect do not exist, it does appear that it is that tendency of people like yours that simply reinforces incorrect assumptions.

This is not to say some of issues you have risen are totally irrelevant in different contexts... just that so long as you keep attributing the cause of the issues to non-existing mechanisms (like late-inning, situational whatever), things will not improve at all for you. Engineers cannot "fix" things that do not exist.

I made a bug report for the postseason pitcher stamina issue. If everyone could upvote this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
