Bug at bat - The ball goes through the bat

[Charvalos]

I already reported this to the bug website but, I'm the only one who has this problem ?

All of these images come from the same match and, tbh, for me, it's just a game breaking. When you're supposed to hit but the ball goes through the bat, well, it's kinda annoying.

Re: Bug at bat - The ball goes through the bat

This has been brought up before with other games in the series.

The ball isn't going through the bat in live gameplay.

I don't know how to technically explain it, but basically you are seeing this in replays because of how they are compressed or something along those lines.

Maybe someone else will be able to explain why you see this in replays, but again it's not happening during actual gameplay.

This is what happens when the game dictates a K is needed, ball goes through bat.

Please don't do this.

We don't need more conspiracy/scripting theories.

This "issue" has been brought up before on the forums and it was explained that it has to do with how the game handles replays and the missing of frames or something along those lines.

Re: Bug at bat - The ball goes through the bat

It's just one of those things where the visuals rendered by the game are not exactly one-to-one with what the game is actually making happen.

I believe collision with the stadium walls and such may actually be rendered pretty accurately, since the game likely uses the stadium model to detect whether the collision happened or not.

However, bat/ball contact involves a very complicated physics that the game internally tries to model as best as it can, but as graphics the movement and physics cannot fully accurately rendered, since graphics simply cannot model near infinite amount of ways things can move/change.

Yep no scripting.

Just curious re the ‘scripted’ game people and the ‘comeback’ code people. Are you wasting your time with the game if this is actually programmed into the game?

What he said is true though. You'd have to understand how game logic is coded to fully realize it.

This is completely laughable, organic comebacks happen just from playing enough games.

Just because some racing games use code to keep things close, doesn't mean that this game or other sports games do.

This is a real picture in slow motion. Crazy huh?

I actually spoke to a developer regarding this topic and he admitted that while there is absolutely no scripting in the code whatsoever, he too has experienced these comebacks and has no idea what's causing them to happen.

My point is this - we've all seen the CPU make absurd comebacks in this game and it literally happens on a regular basis. When I say regular, I mean literally almost (ALMOST) every single game. Just two days ago, I was up 5-1 in the ninth with Chapman pitching. Single, error, double, home run later, it's 5-5. Friend of mine on the exact same day, up 5-2 in the ninth. Error, bean ball, single, single and it's 5-4. You guys can say organic comebacks happen in baseball and my all means, you're right, they do. The thing with the game is they happen ALL THE TIME, almost every game. That's what we complain about. So while "scripting" per se may not be in the code, there is clearly SOMETHING going on (and the developer agrees with this) that is causing this to happen regularly.

It's OK to be wrong sometimes. Explain your stance on the clipping and I'll explain mine now.

When a player presses the swing button lots of numbers are considered (attributes) and ran through equations to determine the contact result and sometimes, no matter what, the player will not make contact. It's how the game keeps stats realistic (strikeouts, etc) for the MLB player batting and pitching, but yea, I'm wrong.

You're right with that tired replay compression excuse that you can't even explain.

Care to share which developer?
