Real MLB Rules

[sportomatic75]

Is it possible to lose a perfect game to a catcher interference call? I mean technically it is a baserunner which advances the runner to first base. Better yet, why doesn't The Show have catcher's interference calls once in a while if tuned properly?

Re: Real MLB Rules

The catcher should be charged with an error on catcher's interference so yes you'd lose the perfect game.

Re: Real MLB Rules

another way to lose a perfect game:
9th inning 2 outs perfecto on the line
27th batter pops a foul ball back and the catcher drops an easy 3rd out for strike 2
the next pitch the 27th batter strikes out game over 27 up 27 down no batter reaches base
but the pitcher only gets credit for a no-no, not the perfecto.
stupid.

I imagine it's not in the game because I imagine its a tough thing to implement into the game.

Plus I could see the cheating AI accusations that would flood this forum if someone lost a game or something due to catcher interference being called on their catcher.

has this been in any console baseball game? kinda reminds me of no 12 men on the field calls in madden, those sorta things aren't as easy to replicate. if interference is ever implemented, I hope its with an on/off toggle option.

I don't know of any baseball game that catcher interference has been in.

I mean, outside of a random dice roll, how could it be implemented to be triggered to happen?

That's exactly how I think it should happen. Almost like the challenge system. But only include it once in a blue moon. If challenges are possible, I don't see why this can't be included. Also it's mainly just creating the animation cut scene, and the hard part would be creating the glove bat sound feedback and the visual of it happening.

I don't see why it should be included to be honest.

And challenges are only at first base and are only an option for the user. The CPU never challenges a call.

I personally don't want to be playing and all the sudden the game decides that a catcher interference has occurred. With challenges I can "correct" a random decision by the AI, whereas with catcher interference I can't.

Yeah, but it just adds to the realism. I see what you mean, but it's all about being as realistic as possible especially to enhance the gameplay. It adds the chance of a baserunner. Making it more difficult. As long as they tune it so that it is not as common as a balk or a reoccurring thing every single game

Are you talking about real life or The Show? Because if it's real life, that's not true. A batter has to reach base for a perfect game to be spoiled. An error on a foul ball doesn't do it.

I read somewhere here on OS a dropped foul ball was counted as an error in the Show.
it hasnt happened to me but I gullibly asssumed it was true. let me see if I can dig it up.
it seems I saw that post in the last 2-3 weeks IIRC

A dropped foul ball can be an error, both in real life and The Show. The part he was wrong about was that an error on a foul ball spoils a perfect game. It doesn't. Only a runner reaching base spoils a perfect game.
