DD Umpire mistakes

I was called out at first on this double play that ended my game in a 1-0 loss.

If this is from online head to head it could b a desynch issue.

Was it online and not against CPU? If so, the animation timing is just sometimes off so it probably wasn't wrong, it just looked wrong on your screen due to the sync issues.

This is just lag. My friends all send these same types of screenshots back an forth all the time. It's pretty ridiculous at times, but you're just seeing some lag, not a terribly blown call.

Re: DD Umpire mistakes

The real mistakes come from the variable strike zone bs. I've had balls thrown in the middle part of the plate called balls. Umps In the majors are not THAT bad. There should be an option to turn that off

Re: DD Umpire mistakes

It was head to head. but there was 0 lag issues all game and then that took place on the last play. but i guess thats what it must have been

Re: DD Umpire mistakes

Ya the home plate umpire can be frustrating, especially in late innings shrinking the zone. It's 80%/20% in batters favor and really bad bad calls are 100% in the batters favor. I've seen balls completely in the zone a ball but never a ball totally out of the zone called a strike. It's too inconsistent and random especially with the randomness of meter pitching.

Why is there no replay challenge in dd? I've wanted to challenge more than once on plays like in op.

because the play probably wasnt even close, its just a sync issue like others in this thread have said.

ive seen plays where i hit a line drive into one of the gaps, and the next thing i know is my guy is out at first or even 2nd because from my view it looks like i split the gap and no one chases for the ball.

Re: DD Umpire mistakes

Missed balls and strike calls are really bad this year.

Last night, on an 0-2 count, I threw 2 consecutive curveballs, that crossed the plate and were 100% in the zone that were called balls.

One was down and over the middle. The other was up and away.

Now it's 2-2 and the next pitch, a fastball, for some reason went right down the pipe, even though I aimed down and away and was perfect on power and accuracy, for a 2 run double. I was livid. Almost had to buy a new controller if you know what I mean.

The count was 2-2... And then he promptly hit a homer on the next pitch.

The worst part is that the third pitch was called a ball. There should be an option to turn this bull crap off

Re: DD Umpire mistakes

I probably would have quit before the homer if that happened to me. right over the middle called for a ball? i'm closing app.

Re: DD Umpire mistakes

Idk if this is coded in the game or what but I find that on a check swing on boarder line pitches it seems more likely for the pitch to be called a ball then a strike. Maybe it's just me but I've checked on a lot of pitches that came back in the zone and had them called a ball.

I've noticed this too, I've also noticed that if you show bunt but pull it back, you're more likely for the pitch to be called a ball. I've used this to draw quite a few walks with dee Gordon online. I'll show bunt to people, and they try to pitch around me so I can't get it down. They end up getting down in the count and then a borderline pitch goes my way because I'm showing bunt and pulling it back.

I hate that crap, especially the punks who do it right when u start to wind up to mess with your pitch timing. The ducking bat goes up in down right in front of the meter.
