So, I have been away since late July waiting for my favorite roster to finish (Willard Hybrid roster shoutout). I've been away for a bit. I noticed there was a software update. I did the same sliders I had before, and Willard's roster changed ratings, but not scaling, so I should have been set. However, the amount of crap that ensued in that game seemed a little much. I noticed another topic, but it seemed kind of weird, so I'll try this.
First off, fielding was garbage. I had 4 errors, one of which was Mauer catching a grounder and running to first and missing it once completely (before if you got them close they'd go to it), and I had enough time to regroup and he went through the step on the bag animation and missed it again. And the thing was, I still had enough time to try once more to hit it, but the animation didn't let me. Second error was Randal Grichuk camped under a can of corn he walked like three steps to get. But I noticed it was in a 2 outs 2 on situation, so I guess the CPU needed some runs. Then Chisenhall, out in right, drops two cans of corn, allowing more runs. One of Chisenhall's I'm OK with, but all 4 is not OK, especially with guys like Mauer and Grichuk. Had a couple more, including one where Carpenter just ran over the top of a ball and didn't try to get it.
Pitching control is out the window. Seriously, completely gone. Not sure what happened here, but Gerrit Cole was impossible to throw strikes. Not to mention the hits.
I also had a really bad glitch that crapped me out of an out. Grichuk led off an inning with a home run. Then Mauer comes up and foul tips one into the catchers mitt for a K. The Aramis Ramirez comes up with 2 outs. And I know what you're thinking, I was too, so I checked the recap. Cardinals batting, Miller (or something) in the bullpen. Grichuk homers. Mauer strikes out swinging. That was all it said. Yet I had two outs against me.
I'm on PS3, but there's literally nothing going on on that board, and I wondered if anyone else had any of this. I mean, that's one game, I can't play more like that. I really don't want to find slider sweet spots anymore, why on earth do they think this is a good idea? We've all fixed their game by the time they try to do it.
