One of those innings

[PRiMETiME559_ps4]

My infield just committed 4 errors in one inning. Was leading 3-0 and now trail 3-4 all simply because 4 of the most random errors I've ever seen in the game. Two were on one play!
Anyone else run into anything ridiculous like this on Defense? I'm just under 80 games in on my Dodgers franchise and all I use is buttons to throw, and we are near the top in the majors in errors. Sliders for errors are all set to default 5 so I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen anything atrocious like that. I know the Dodger defense is rated really low in the game. But to blow a 3-0 lead in the 7th with a pitcher who was throwing a two hitter seems very odd.

Re: One of those innings

Don't think I've ever had 4 errors in an inning. I might have had 3 in past years. For sure I've had 2 as in my game last night my team fell apart in the 9th inning and gifted the opponent the win and a big part of the reason why my team fell apart was the 2 errors they committed in the 9th.

Re: One of those innings

Bad innings happen, I have had an inning where I had 2 passed balls both of which scored a run, a walk to load the bases before that a home run and then an infield error before I was finally able to get a reliever in to close it out.

But at the same time they happen for the AI too. I have had innings where I will just rally for 5-6 runs and the other team makes errors, bad pitches, fielders missplay ball's in the outfield.

Though I would suggest lowering the error sliders one, I did this and get a more realistic number of E's now.

Re: One of those innings

It all made sense in the end. The AI had to end my 5 game win streak in style. I hit a HR to lead off the next in inning and tie it at 4-4. Then they hit a 2 run walk off in the 9th to win it 4-6

Re: One of those innings

I had one game this year where in the eight or ninth inning all of the sudden my infielders forgot how to get in front of a ground ball.

I've been playing this game since 2007 and use a slight push on the left stick to position guys which has become second nature. For one inning it was like it was like my guys were repelling the ball away from themselves.

I'm ashamed to say that I hit reset... :-(

Re: One of those innings

They really need to sort out the fielding. Playing against the computer at times is like you're against a collection of the greatest fielders of all time, diving all over the place, perfect one hand pick ups and never missing anything. While my players consistently just let the ball run under their glove, refuse to react to the ball being a foot away from them, or just forget how to play baseball and fail to catch routine fly balls. First inning in particular I must have an ERA in double figures, the computer always manages to find a way to screw me over in the first and I have to spend the rest of the game trying to claw it back.

It's massively unfair, just keep it the same for both teams, don't just cheat to make the game more difficult

Country - To be clear let me say that I'm not blaming 'comeback code' for what happened to me above. In fact this was the only time I have experienced that particular thing in close to 1000 games played.

I was just trying to contribute to the thread with a message of "yes things can happen" and giving my personal example.

Re: One of those innings

My last virtual season I was best in the league in fielding entering the post season. Once the post-season hit though, all of my guys gained ball allergies or something. Luckily my pitching and hitting were solid but my heart beat a little faster every time my team had to field the ball. Absolute nightmare level stuff.

I'm not complaining though it's a part of the game.

Re: One of those innings

After watching the Cubs bobble things left and right in last nights win over Washington, im glad the game has some oddities in there.... it would be boring if it was all mechanical.

Even the best have a bad day

Re: One of those innings

Honestly I think they should make fielding based on some kind of player skill, as the constant screw ups are just unfair on the player. I've lost so many games due to no fault of my own and that doesn't seem right

The day The Show goes to all user input with no ratings based into the game will be the day I stop buying it.
Ratings need to matter.
Errors happen.

UNLESS there would be a way to have it set to all user input related when manual fielding is on...
even then I'd be totally against it as if ratings don't matter then there's goes a lot of coaching and management from the game.

As far as CPU fielding I have seen plenty of CPU errors. Just need to have good settings. My last game vs Boston they committed 2 in a row that led to a run.

It goes both ways IMO.

I suggest that human allow the cpu to do all the fielding and throwing if you want accurate results.

I would like to point out that ratings do matter for user input, at least when it comes to throwing the ball. I play with the throwing meter on, and the better the throwing accuracy, the easier it is to throw in the green and prevent an error. There is a huge difference between a great fielder and a bad one.

I'm not arguing against you. I actually kind of agree with you. I'm just pointing out that there is a way to have user input 100% determine play outcome while still having ratings matter, and the current throwing system is a good example of this.

On the flip side, I think that there is a lot more nuance to the fielding in the game than people realize, and often routes to the ball and timing can have an impact on errors.

Also sometimes players mess up routine plays. That is just a fact of life.
