Strike Outs That Shouldn't Happen!

[bobloblah1980]

Is There a Way to fix this via sliders or something? I don't mind striking out but to have the ball literally go through the bat? come awn man!

Are these screenshots from instant replay? I think I read somewhere that the instant replay playback is not entirely as accurate as what actually happened.

Yes they are. That's the 1st I have heard of that theory though

It's not a theory it's been confirmed by the devs of the game. I don't fully understand it but it has something to do with framerates and photosynthesis or something.

I'm more concerned with strikeouts that SHOULD happen!

Playing last night, got 1st batter to 0-2 count. Next two pitches were 100% in the zone. Change up down and in to a lefty from a righty. No call. Fastball middle up. No call. Next pitch, I aimed down and away. I was perfect on accuracy. The line even blinked. Pitch went right down the middle. Double.

I'm really considering turning variable umps off. It seems to always be an 80-20 ratio in favor of the CPU.

Yes it's a visual anomaly due to the compression used in replay. The bat doesn't go through the ball in real time.

Yeah, I can't play with variable umps since it seems more like RNG umps instead of umps actually having biases/their own zones.

I don't know if it leans to the CPU (wouldn't be surprised, just like the confidence system is "kinder" to the CPU in terms of how fast it goes up and down), but, I just think I'll leave it off until it's more nuanced and more confined to the edges (and I mean like at or near the borders, based on what I see on fangraphs data) instead of "absolute" strikes being called balls too often for the sake of "variable".

In my experience the strike zone is pretty neutral as far as CPU vs Human. I think humans tend to think they are being screwed over because of perception biases, but more importantly, because we don't take as many pitches as the CPU. The umpire, of course, only comes into play if you don't swing.

I completely agree on it being a random mess though. I find it to be better than nothing, but it needs a ton of work.
