Wow let me tell you. Completley different game. 1st off I have played about 100 games or so since release all with comeback set to off by default of course. Yes I have a lot of time on my hands and I have never thrown a complete game. I have never won by more then 4 runs. I have never hit more then 16 hits. Every game I played was exciting. I would always be on the edge of my seat. Honestly, EVERY single game. All of this happened in the first game that I played with CPU comeback set to on. Completley different game. Here's a recap.
First off I was the Red Sox @ Baltimore. Beckett vs Guthrie. Legend difficulty. Sliders -5 (0) for user/cpu power and -4 (1) for user/cpu solid hits. I go down 2-0 in the 1st inning. I then come back with 2 to tie it at 2 in the 2nd. The 3rd inning I get 4, the 4th I get 2 and the 5th I get 3. I'm now up 11-2 going into the bottom of the 5th. I am not even pitching that great with Beckett. I had such a big lead I wasn't even that focused but I kept getting guys out. A lot of ground outs. It's definetley not the sliders because I have played plenty of games with cpu sliders down because I got too many hits from the beginning so I set them down for both the user/cpu.
Anyways bottom line is this game played so much different and it did the opposite that it would do with comeback set to off. I ended up winning 12-4. Here's the box score.
......1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
BOS 0 2 4 2 3 0 0 1 0 12 19 0
BAL .2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 4 8 4
Win Josh Beckett
Loss Jeremy Guthrie
All I have to say is something is weird. I know it's only 1 game but I have never won a game by 8 runs on Legend in over 100 games played until I turned CPU comeback ai ON. It was so easy too. I felt like I could coast on the mound with the lead. It's almost like the big lead was affecting the O's all around. I have also never seen so many errors. Like I said I think it got to the O's head how they were getting killed and they were just doing bad at the plate and everything. It was crazy. They made 4 errors. I have never had the CPU make 4 errors in one game. I actually stopped trying in the 6th inning. I had 12 hits at the time. Everything was just coasting.
This is not how I want it to be every game. I want a challenge. But this was realistic. When I knocked Guthrie out of the game in the 4th inning with a 8-2 lead and Beckett on the mound I should feel pretty comfortable on the mound. I should be coasting with that big of a lead with Beckett on the hill. This is something I have yet to experience until I turned on CPU comeback. This is just one game and anything is possible at any time but I will play more. I suggest you guys to try the same if you are having problems with the games feeling too scripted where the CPU comes back on you and you can't hold a big lead no matter what.
