so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

Re: so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

I want to join the discussion. I tried to play the game on All-Star but decided to lower it to Veteran after the CPU was killing my Pitchers. I was skeptical at first but said, why not try it. I've only played 3 games so far with CPU Comeback on, and as it's been said it doesn't even come close to being enough, but I've already noticed some differences.

The three games were against the Angels. I'm not in front of the PS3 right now so i cannot post exact scores but it was something like this:

Game 1 (Lost): Yankees - 5, Angels - 6
Here I thought, it's not working as the CPU still can hit every time it wants to. Guerrero hit a HR and another player (can't remember who) hit an opposite-field HR.

Game 2 (Won): Yankees 5, Angels - 0
First game I win by more than 4 runs

Game 3 (Won): Yankees 6, Angels - 1
Another game won by 5 runs, almost a shutout but the Pitcher walked two and the reliever allowed the only run before closing the bad inning.

I'll keep testing it but thus far I'm not seeing any comeback from the CPU. As far as my hitting, I haven't noticed any difference. But as far as Pitching, if things continue as they are, the Yankees may go from about being rated 21-24 in ERA to a better position.

As it has been stated a 3 game sample won't make us reach any conclusion. A sample of 30+ games is needed and even though after that it will be hard to prove anything.

im in the same boat as you man...ive been playing on All Star but thinking about going down to Vet....do you play with default sliders or are you using something different?

I play with default sliders. If, after I test some more games with Comeback ON, I keep winning like those two last games, I might be ready to boost the game again to All-Star.

Last year I played on All Star, Default Sliders but as I said, this year, after the CPU would hit any pitch: inside, outside, up, down, in the strike zone and out of it, I decided to lower it.

Re: so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

I can't speak for anybody else but I have heard a few people say that they have seen a difference on as far down as veteran. I'm not sure if it has more of an effect or less of an effect on Legend because it's the only level I play on. You have to just try and see for yourself how it plays for you.

Dave as far as Im concerned and probably alot of other people you are the man. You took the initial step to try this and I can not thank you enough as this game means alot to everyone on these boards. Regardless of whether or not SCEA confirms who cares. If they made a mistake they made a mistake they still made the best baseball game ever and Im sure you agree. This is why as much as the arguing and debating is annoying it's worth it to have a thread like this. Now whoever wants to disagree with your discovery... well lol they need to wake up or just keep playing if they don't see it.

I don't have any pics for proof of this, but I just won 4 games in a row by more than three runs after not having won any by more than two for 30 games, by turning the option ON.

There has been nothing resembling a comeback by the CPU...no 6-hit innings, no 5-run innings. If my pitcher is doing well, he continues to do well until getting fatigued. Then, the bullpen comes in and DOES THEIR JOB!

This is a game-saver for me!

Hey thanx man. I really appreciate your appreciation.

Here's some pics from my first shutout against the Blue Jays. 7.1 IP with Edwin Jackson, the Tigers #4 starter. With comeback ON. 2 hits in one game doesn't seem like too much of a "comeback" LOL





Just want to let people know that this doesn't necessarily prove anything. It's just nice to see this for the first time. I am happy that I got my first shutout. I am just sharing this.

This does not prove/disprove the theory.

hahahaha. Proves that I finally figured out how to get pics from ps3 to pc. Not even sure if I did it right LOL. I went on this website through the ps3.

Re: so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

ah that's a good way to do it, i save mine from my ps3 to a flash drive then to my PC but they always end up to damn big, i need to figure out how to resize them.

Re: so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

Im not sure what to make of this. I was playing the Pirates with the Cubs and I went up 3-0 in the Top of the first. (CB ON) They didn't come back and quickly score but they did seem a lot harder to strike out. After 5 innings i still didn't have a single K, it did seem they were making better contact. (With the option off i averaged between 6-12 K's per total game). I did manage to get 2 strike outs after the pirates put a few runs on the board. ( I still ended up winning 6-3)

With that being said this is my first game with this option on, and i was playing on All-Star and not Legend. But from my perspective they did seem to make better comtact when i had a lead. Im going to play a few more games before i make a judgment on this.

Re: so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

LOL @ Dave I tried this over a week ago. And did not see much of a difference, but again commented how I was using the Reds exclusively.

Re: so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

just played 2 more games.....


in these games i played both had the same matchups both phils mets, both myers santana...

first game I lost 7-2 had 5 hits , 2 doubles an one inside the park HR.
the cpu had 11 hits

2-0 mets after 1
2-2 after 3
4-2 after 4
5-2 after 6
7-2 after 8

Next game I was one hit by Santana....(a double in the gap) lost the game 4-0 , but he walked like 5 guys so i had my chances.

the cpu had 9 hits

1-0 after 3
they added 3 insurance bot of 8

2 things to draw from these 2 games at least for me....

Firstly,before I turned comeback ON, I have lost by this margin but I have never been dominated in the hits column like the 2nd game. Yea i've had 3 hit losses, but I remember the cpu having a low total of hits as well like 5 or 6

Secondly, if this comeback mode was working, I would have gotten a boost in the later part of the innings right? In both games the cpu tacked on runs and even tacked on 3 in the 2nd game bot of 8.

Also, what I notice is, to make contact with the ball is now even more authentic. I believe now before we received boosts when we were down and penalized when we were up. That's why sometimes the result of the AB didn't match the PCI swing analysis.

i've played now 5 games on comeback ON.....and I'm sticking with this for the rest of the season.

Thanks to davewins......you have saved the game for me, I was so frustrated the beginning of this weekend by the unnatural feel of the game that I was seriously ready to sell it back to Gamestop.....

Re: so I played my first game with CPU comeback set to ON

Yep, I'm convinced. For the first time I actually felt like I had control of my pitches. Location actually seemed to depend on the meter, more so than before. Completely different game.

Thanks for the find!
