The only problem is I don't have anything to compare with statistically for the prior 100 games I played with everything set at default except for the fact that I know that I have never won a game by more then 4 runs.
      Dave, I've followed your "experiments" and some of the games you've posted and I know you play on legend and have been working on this "comeback" crud everyone gets so upset over. Both of us know by the default sliders and options it's EXTREMELY rare to have a blowout (i.e. a win by over 4 runs) but to have 2 in a row is phenominal. To make sure it isn't a fluke, I agree w/CB to show some of the games (box score would suffice IMO) but an excellent find nonetheless.

      I personally find the default option challenging which in turn makes the legend mode that much more surreal and exciting...Maybe this all is why the devs had such a hard time winning a game on legend before the game came out b/c if a developer can't win the game they created - something's up, ya know?

        (and i bet it will work for me too since u beat legend by 7 runs with comeback ON, meaning there should be no way of u doing that because of the code, i mean, u turned it on and u could beat the AI by a blow out? but before that with it OFF, only one person(coutry boy) managed to do that...im pretty sure this "proves" the code is reversed.
        i cant wait to get home and try this!
        Actually, no...a lot of people have not had a problem with this Comeback AI conspiracy that some are purporting...

        I have had several blow out wins (I play on HOF) and have not seen anything at all that would lead me to believe there is comeback code programmed accidentally, or whatever...maybe tone down your difficulty or tone up yoru pitcher stamina/consistency is all I can think of...

        ...but it is definitely NOT proven that the Comeback Code option is reversed.

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

          Every year, on every sports game, someone thinks something is reversed or backwards. Its a matter of perception. I had a 3 games last night, a 1-0 game that i won, a 2-1 game i lost (was up 1-0 and BOS hit 2 jacks to win in the 7th) and a 9-1 game i won. All on Legend, no comeback AI on. You get a variety of games.

          All the comeback code does is give a slight boost to a team when its down 3 runs or more, its not a guaranteed thing for them to come back.

            What reviews do you speak of?? Reviews aren't based on playing a final version for 2 solid weeks as much as I have been playing.

            Few of the other users picked up on it?? There has been countless posts about this by countless amount of users. Unless there's just me and 1 other person that's under about 20 different names then I don't know what you are talking about.

            I don't even know if anybody has compared playing with this setting ON compared to OFF. I don't even know if anybody has honestly touched this setting yet. Why would they want to if they feel like the CPU is coming back on them?? Why would they want to make it any worst?? That's probably their attitude towards it.

            Forget about the fact that I played just 2 games. It's how those games played out that I know that it's different. I played COUNTLESS amount of games. I didn't just pick this game up 2 days ago and play about 10 games and then tried 2 games the other way. I played over 100 games I would have to guess over the last 17 days.

              I dont know if I buy this. I mean, Ive played close to 50 games since the release and I have never seen this happen. Now don't get me wrong, there were times where im leading by 3 or 4 runs and the CPU would go on a tear and tie me or take the lead but at those times, it would mostly be my fault. I would leave my pitcher in too long and I would try to rush to get out of a jam and before you know it, im staring at a deficit.

              I haven't had this happen to me in recent memory due to the fact that I play smarter and pitch smarter now. Yesterday I scored 6 runs off of Baltimore in the top of the 5th inning and they didnt score the entire game. They would get men on base but I would pitch smart and induce double plays to get out of the jams. I won 9 to 1 btw. I play on AS default also.

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

                This sounds promising, I hope it is true. Funny thing is that when I started noticing all the surreal cpu outbursts, the first thing I thought of was that the setting might be reversed, but I never tried playing with it on. Probably because I absolutely loath the whole idea of a comeback mode (or rubber band AI as some describe it), I wanted to pretend it didn't exist. I don't think that it is so far fetched to think that the setting is bugged, as the developers themselves have said EVERY game has bugs, even the best of the best. How about the CPU control line-up glitch, or the DH fatigue issue, or the when the guess pitch is off there is no swing analysis even though it's set to ON, etc., ect.

                Can't wait to try this, if it's true this will be the first time in my life I ever wanted to kiss another man (A friggin' Red Sox fan no less ).

                  Well all i can say is that if we all were to play our games with comeback turned ON and report back to this thread it shouldn't take long to see if indeed the option is backwards or not. With comeback working in the game you shouldn't see any blowouts but Dave plays two and see's two so it sure makes you wonder.

                    We can go round and round on this subject forever. I doubt if anyone really thinks Scea sports did anything here to make this game play differently or favor the cpu. There is a cpu comeback option in the menu for sure. By default its off. But if things here are reversed then of course things are going to play out dramatically different. Sort of like all the threads that have been devoted to losing games in late innings in unusal ways. I just think that we all have to do our own research on this and see how the games play out for us on our own. Then hopefully we can put this whole thing to rest once and for all.

                      Post the same types of results you were when you were posting about the potential of comeback ai.

                        With all this talk of the CPU comback issue, im starting to think that SCEA would have been better off not including that option. I wonder what people would be saying if the option never existed. I guess im just too damn old to be blaming the CPU when I loose a game.

                          Of course it's not gauranteed. I have played countless amount of games and could never win by 5 runs nevermind 8 followed by 7 my first two games.

                          Yes it will give the CPU a small hitting bonus when it's winning. It says that the adjustment is bigger when there's a wide lead of 4 or more runs though as well.

                            With the comeback code turned on if a person was to purposely let the cpu build up a big lead we should be able to see if hitting becomes extra easy for human to let us catch up.

                              we cant prove theres a comeback code workign with it OFF(default) but we can say already there isnt one working with it ON.
                              Dude, thats not how it works...Comeback Code just gives a boost to the losing team when they're down...it doesn't ensure that they will comeback EVERY times, just gives them a better chance to catch up thats all...2 games is no where near enough
