User throws vs. CPU throws.

[Gagnon39]

Is it just me or in my 110+ games of The Show this year am I noticing something that seemingly always favors the computer.

Throws I make from the outfield, especially on plays at the plate are often off the mark. And this is fine, it's part of baseball. In fact, it's one of the things I really like about The Show, the lack of "perfection," that exists in the game.

However, the problem I seem to have noticed is that the CPU rarely, if ever throws off the mark. If I have a runner on second and hit a ball into the outfield and I send the runner, it's a 99% certainty that their throw is perfectly on the mark.

Again, maybe it's just me, that's why I'm posing the question.

Agree on all fronts. I can't count the number of "clutch errors" I've had. It's like there's an end result, and whatever needs to happen to make that happen, well, it happens. I have yet to throw anyone out on a bang bang play.

And for you is it always that bullcrap "ehhhh the ball short hopped me and I can't handle that at all" animation with the catcher?

Re: User throws vs. CPU throws.

Not seeing this. I don't use a meter, auto field/manual throw, and the throws seem as lousy as real life. As far as the CPU I get a completely mixed bag of throw.

You actually see 99% accuracy from the CPU?????? That seems a little exaggerated.

It's not the percentage, it's the percentage on close plays.

Not what he said.

The bang bang plays at the plate go both ways.

Everyone has the same game, different results.

I'm sorry, I should amend that. My issue is with plays that can result in an out, not just close. There are plenty of times the CPU will be way off, but only when they had no chance of getting my runner out. I have no evidence, no screencaps, no data, because I'm just now noticing it, much like the TC. I am going to start making a count though.

I've noticed this too. If I try to take the extra base and force the throw, more often then not it will be right on the money, resulting in an out. It's gotten so bad that I no longer risk the out, even in high leverage situations that in real life a third base coach would send his runner 9 times out of 10.

I have noticed that if I draw the throw, but immediately retreat my runner, there is a 50/50 chance that the throw is off line.

I've also noticed that, of the 19 outfield assists that my 3 main outfielders have, only 1 or 2 are throwing out a runner at second or third. The rest are at home plate.

Re: User throws vs. CPU throws.

Been fine in my experience. I've had quite a few runs score on throws off line by the cpu. If anything, it's me that's a little too perfect. I do have an exceptional team though.

I've had the opposite experience personally.

Well, perhaps it's just a stretch of bad luck.

Do you hold the button down fully to throw the ball as hard as you can from the outfield?

I will say that this is the first year that I've experienced this. In years past there were plenty of throws off line from the outfield to home on plays at the plate.

Yeah I fully hold it down.

I've always thought there have been too many throws off line in years past. So my prospective could be biased.
