Scripted Innings!

Re: Scripted Innings!

I'll just go with you being wrong on your precursor point....that you're just wrong entirely.

Both Senior programmers played at the Collegiate level for major college teams.(College World Series level schools).
I'm sure others at SCEA also played at least at the college level.

All I can say to that is if in fact they did play college baseball then I am even more disappointed in the game, because this game plays as if they have zero knowledge of the ins and outs of baseball.

It is what it is though. I have owned every show game since 09 and there are always glaring holes in it that I guess will never be fixed. Time to put that $60 towards something else this year.

Re: Scripted Innings!

Im sorry but yeah it is and the reason people dont want to bring it up is because its been a polarizing topic. Those that do bring it up get ridiculed for it and they shouldnt because it does exist. It happens on all sports games on all current gen platforms. Im standing my ground on this one as an avid player of all sports games on all platforms for years and years. This is an issue that started negatively affecting, not just MLB, but all sports games since the move from the last generation of consoles. I wont respond to anything else because I dont want to get banned, but Im going to stand up for myself and everyone else whom feels the same I do about this because they are not crazy or stupid.

I've played sports games since, somewhere around 1987, and have never noticed anything like what you're talking about. What would a dev team, or game maker have to gain by making a comeback code, or scripting innings/games. It exists in your opinion, but that fact is that it doesn't exist in reality.

To be fair, comeback code did exist back in the arcade days, when games like NBA Jam depended on gamers sinking quarter after quarter into the coin slot. Nowadays? Not so much.

Re: Scripted Innings!

If there are numerous threads about scripted/comeback programming and numerous users stating they believe it exists, why would that be?

All I know is, I've had many games on The Show where once I have a late lead, my player commits some sort of inexplicable error or the batter takes a low and away pitch out of the park or perfectly in the gap, right where they needed to put it to score a run. I'm like:




I get that some people get annoyed by these threads, but equally annoying is the fanboyage prevalent here where anybody who suggests there might still be things that The Show could work on in future iterations are criticized.

Anyway, on a constructive note, perhaps pitcher confidence and energy are overpowered? There's something under the hood that attempts to replicate "momentum" and, in my opinion, it's a little overpowered at times.

Bronx there are still sliders in games like 2k hoops and Madden that helps players keep games close!

Um, no there isn't.

Re: Scripted Innings!

How many times to people have to say scripted innings/comeback codes don't exist before other people stop yelling about scripted innings/comeback codes? :

Yep I think it was back in NBA 2K11 or something there used to be a clutch attribute or slider. But that has since been removed from the game. And I have never once felt like I lost a big lead in any sports game because of the game itself. I can always go back and look at what I did wrong that caused me to lose a game. Whether it be leaving in my pitcher too long, not taking advantage of an opportunity because I don't want to run the score up, crappy defensive plays, etc.

This. When I first started playing The Show in 08, it seemed like my bull pen would blow every lead I had, no matter how big the lead was. It never failed, once the starter was out, my game was over. I realized that it wasn't the games fault, it was my own. I'd concentrate very hard on pitching while the starter was in, but would lose focus and make bad pitches because I was trying to rush through the later innings to get the win. Once I started using the same focus and concentration with my relievers, the constant come backs stopped. Don't get my wrong, I still blow leads, and saves from time to time. But that's baseball.

Re: Scripted Innings!

I've asked this question in every single one of these threads, and for some reason, never get an answer.

If there are in fact scripted innings what is the trigger? There has to be one. What is the common factor in every single game that has had a scripted inning? Does every game have a scripted inning?

I'm curious to know.

This is why Owl's challenge would prove so informative if anyone would ever take him up on it. But even then we'd just have people complaining that challenges behave differently from the normal game when they get wildly varying results.

It's truly never-ending.

I actually spent a lot of time this year looking for these types of things because this topic constantly comes up. The only thing that stands out to me and has for a while are that errors tend to gravitate towards the late innings, especially 7th, 8th and 9th. I know they are generated by dice rolls and sometimes they would lead to the floodgates opening.

In theory if this game was scripted we should always lose because that triggered event should always cause us to fail.

Re: Scripted Innings!

Let me say this: In my 10 years of playing the show, never once did I get back-to-back games where the CPU scored in the same innings. Just like real baseball however, if you don't mix up your pitches, you'll get killed. You say you give up a lot of hits on 02 counts? Then make them chase, they can't hit what's not down the middle. Perhaps you forget how real the game is, and just start throwing anything, without thinking about the strategy. If anything is scripted, it's these posts every year. Sometimes during an at bat, you need to regroup and take stock.
