Everytime I get a lead the other team comes right back and ties it up. Stupid rubberband AI!

Bottom 11th, one on, one out, down by one...slider hangs in the zone and crushed a no-doubter to walk-off. Go through all the post-game clips, blah, blah, blah...last screen (RTTS Player) was removed for a pinch runner in the 11th...exit out..injury screen..."You have sustained a 'Torn Achilles Tendon' and are out for 6+ months. You will be placed on the 60-Day DL."

This one actually happened to my player: Stole third and the throw from the catcher was wild, bouncing of the mid-region of my player...injury screen pops up with "(Player) felt a little pop in the ol' groin sliding into third base. It's probably nothing but he'll be removed from the game as a precaution." Yup...got pulled from the game for getting nailed in the "ol' groin."

Pitching Kluber, he has pitched a 3 hit ball game, going into bottom of 9th, leading 1 to 0. Bring in my Closer, Cody Allen. Ist batter bunts a perfect bunt down 3b line. Caught me off guard, beats out throw to first base. Suggestion box tells me expecting HIT and RUN situation, I move into DP defense. Pitch two balls outside expecting a steal. Next pitch batter BUNTS, catcher bobbles ball, throw late to 1B, runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs. Next batter , BUNTS ball down 1B line, only play is to 1B. Runners move to 2b and 3b.. 1 out.. Next batter, Unbelievable, BUNTS down 3B line, runner coming home, 3B man tries to tag runner and misses, then tries to throw to 1B, Ball sails over 1B head, 2 runs score.. GAME OVER.. I am setting there in complete shock.. What the ???? .. How is it possible to lose a game like this.? I have never seen any team in BB bunt 4 times in a row. Thank God my common sense was stronger than my desire to throw the controller through my TV.. I have lost many games in many different ways, but never one like this. I was so angry I wanted to put my Ps4 on Craiglist and refused to play another game for 3 days.

Folks...read thru the thread and understand the concept/intent first.

No matter what, I cannot pitch with K-Rod. I scattered 8 hits in eight innings, and am up 3-0 on the royals in the 9th. I give up back to back jacks to make it 3-2 with one out, and struggle to keep the tying run off the plate.

Oh, and the jacks would have tied it if not for a fantastic play by Iglesias to lead off the inning.

Don't know what it is, but when I pitch with Rodriguez I have like a 9ERA.

Went 7-8 in my first 15 games with the lowly Brewers on Franchise before realizing I had it on Rookie lol. I just changed it to Legend and will now probably lose 100 more games.

The last few posts totally misunderstanding the thread are making me laugh out loud (actually). It's almost like they don't know the medium or the sport they're to be referencing or commentating on.

Freaking SCEA nerfed Francisco Liriano and Jeff Locke's BB/9, making them impossible to pitch with!

Re: Watching MLB; If "This" Would Have Happened In The Show Thread

Is it possible in this game to move the DH to a defensive position and then hit with the pitcher in the DH spot?

Last night Jed Lowrie moved from DH to 2B (because they had no other players capable of playing 2B), then A's pitcher Graveman had to hit in the DH spot.

That's a great question. I'm not sure if the DH can be moved to defense in The Show. But I'll leave that to those who know more about that sort of stuff (I primarily play RTTS pitcher)

But I was watching that game, and when I saw Melvin make the move, I thought of this thread lol.

If ppl playing The Show saw a pitcher batting in an AL game...it would be anarchy & the game is 'broken'

(Sorry in advance for doing 3 in one post, just thought they were all good!)

Pitching is till just way too easy in this game--even on All Star and HoF difficulty. I mean yesterday was the first time that my starter didn't make it out of the 6th inning. And my starting pitching is supposed to be one of the weaker parts of my roster!

--Cubs

The commentary is sooo repeditive. Every time i strike out on a Syndergaard slider you can just cue up "most guys throw a 90 mph fastball, and hes throwing a 90 mph slider." And seriously the velocity is way off on some of these guys. Syndergaard is a starting pitcher, just cause he can throw 100 doesn't mean he can do it in the 7th and 8th inning.

--anyone facing Noah Syndergaard

I feel like Bryce Harper's sim stats are just always out of this world. Like he's always in the running for the triple crown. Theres never any variety in my franchises. The really popular players always do well.

I get 10 hits and can only score 1 run...against Kershaw!

There should be a "clutch" slider somewhere I can tune.

What is this crap....CPU's way too aggressive on the bases. FIVE SB in one inning!?

Is it wrong that I actually wish this would happen more in The Show?

Re: Watching MLB; If &quot;This&quot; Would Have Happened In The Show Thread

2016 Yankees off to a 5-9 start...can't hit.

I am off to a 2-4 start....can't hit in my 2016 Yankees franchise so far.

This game is BS.
