Re: Challenges @ 1st Gone?

This year I set the umpire calls to "perfect", figuring that with instant replay in real life, it would be close to that anyway. And I was getting tired of watching the cutscene when I knew darn well whether or not I was going to challenge anyway.

My friend and I have also turned off the ability to challenge as we thought that it wasn't right that you could "no-doubt" challenge plays at 1B but could not challenge the numerous blown calls anywhere else... We also have put the umpires on "perfect" and have enjoyed that...

I didn't think challenges could be set to off?

It's not expressly stated as that, but the "Umpire Close Plays" option in General>Advanced enables/disables challenges. With it off, all base calls are correct (excluding the occasional animation bug).

I use that option off because it more closely resembles the outcomes in MLB as a whole now - since the aim of replay is to ultimately get every call right. Of course, the fact they still miss calls IRL even WITH replay messes with that philosophy a bit.

You are correct.. you can't turn challenges off. After revisiting my post I can see where people would ask the question... You are effectively turning off the 'challenges' by setting the umpires on 'perfect'...

I apologize for the confusion...

actually I guess you were right after all. the way bcruise put it makes perfect sense. at one time I think I knew that but it's been awhile since I'd really thought about it.


myself, I've gotten where I like to cycle through each of the 3 options, if for no other reason than it's just one of the several things I've been doing lately to make each game as different as possible.

Re: Challenges @ 1st Gone?

So holding the button seems to still be working.

Anyway something new happened last night. I was able to get a challenge to pop up in the top of the 8th. Unless somethings changed I thought the rule was no challenges after the 7th. Not complaining because it probably won me the game. Anybody else ever get a challenge after the 7th.
