Aaron Hicks

[bronxbombers21325]

Has anyone else using the Yankees noticed that Aaron Hicks gets plunked A LOT? Seems like he gets hit at least once a game. I don’t know if it’s a glitch or what. But I’ve never seen anyone get hit this much in the game. If he’s up with the bases loaded it’s almost a guarantee that he’ll get hit to walk in a run. It was kind of funny at first but now it’s just getting annoying. My last 3 games he’s got hit once in two, and 3 times in the other one.

Its happening with everyone. My Guardians franchise, Ramirez and Reyes have been HBP at least 4 times each already in April. JRam got hit twice in the head in one game. I was shocked to not see a injury.

Re: Aaron Hicks

Yeah I don’t think Aaron Hicks has anything to do with it, HBPs are just way up.

Honestly the uptick in HBP and 4 & 5 pitch walks is extremely welcome. Can finally get a reasonable OBP with most guys.

I love the walks. Wish they’d tone down HBP though.

Re: Aaron Hicks

the CPU at least hits 1 player per game I have noticed it is like the AI has built it for them to at least do it once in a game. it actually helped me come back from a 3-0 game to win with 2 outs 1 strike away from being out of the 8th the CPU decides to plunk someone then a walk. then Soto hits a sac fly and Cruz hits a 2 run homer and I win in the 9th with a walk off homer against the mets... in real life the fans would have throw bottles and Joely head who blew that game after Bassitt went 7 shutout innings. (had left a runner on when Joely came in to completely choke the game) CPU dumb BP management too kept him in the game in the 9th innings after blowing the 3-0 lead in real life would never have happened.

I can see why somtimes people think their is a comeback code when the AI does wacky things out of left filed (no pun intended) I have noticed too if you plunk the CPU as a revenge they always plunk one of your players later on in the game.

I was tied 1-1 in the 8th with the bases loaded and 2 outs. Hicks gets plunked to walk in the go ahead run. I held on and won the game 2-1. Felt like a really cheap win to be honest.

Re: Aaron Hicks

Funny, I've finally got around to starting a franchise with the Rangers with the latest patch, I've played my first two games and there was nobody got plunked. The walked at my normal rate of 3/4 times per game. I'm playing with Armour's sliders if that makes any difference. I've also had two extremely different games too. First game I beat the Yankees 9-0 and then the next game I lost 4-3. The second game was so frustrating because I had baserunners all game but couldn't get the big hit to win the game. I had 3 fly balls get caught at the warning track and twice with 1 out and a runner at 3rd I lined out on the infield. The first time it happened actually turned into a double play cause Rizzo caught the ball and tagged the runner before he could get back to 1st. Oh well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

I find that Rizzo gets hit a ton in my game (as he does IRL).
