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

Cracks me up that people are still debating this. Just play with it ON or OFF whatever suits your needs.

Of course it can, if it couldnt the game would be broken, as Brian has already said.

The CPU receives contact/hitting bonuses with it ON that they dont get when its OFF, so it is of course more likely to happen when ON.

Anyway, this has been done a million times :wink:

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

Yes. I love the game. That's the problem. There's so many things to like about the game, but the comeback AI is such a game killer, it's destroying all of my enjoyment in this game. And I don't appreciate the developers attitude about it at all, with all that "red shirt" nonsense. It's patronizing, and it cost them a customer come next year.

I agree with this, except the last statement.

I didn't find the red shirt thing funny, but that's me.

The game plays perfect 90% of the time. The problems are online lag and CPU AI comeback (to ME).

I hope the community finds a way to resolve this problem.

Their attitude?

lol

They answer all our questions, post regularly while helping the community despite certain people screaming that the sky is falling.

From reading your posts and the developers' and yours, it's clear who has the attitude

The do a lot of GREAT things! I don't think the guy has an attitude at all, he's just stating his opinion. He's pointing out a problem in the game many of us see. He's not being childish about it or anything.

Quick question.

For those folks who say there is a comeback ai...do you let the catcher call the game?
I ask this because I do and I notice that if I score, the cpu sure as heck will come right back and blast me the next inning no matter who is pitching or how tired they are. Seen it on rook, vet and as now. Yeah it may be me but its uncanny how it happens and I always let the catcher call the game.

Its funny how it happens also, its like one pitch and bam a hit, then another and another and nothing will stop it. It also seems pitcher confidence is not a factor here as it starts usually when he has a big fat yellow line and ends, of course, with none. I mean the only constant is me throwing the ball where the catcher wants it.

I call my own game and I can mix it up all day long and come the late innings....comeback.

I just got this game so my opinion might not be based on that many games, but i havent seen a hint of comeback code either. I'm 3-0 so far and no comebacks.... All games were realistic and yeah the cpu would try to make a rally and stuff but maybe its because i was smart enough to shut their *** down? that's one thing i really like about this game so far. Maybe i'm imagining things but the AI seems humanlike and you can feel them breaking down or getting hot and you have to adjust. Sometimes you think you have the cpu down and out and you get lazy and they will bomb a homerun off you. I like that though. I like how if you come out erratic to start the game the cpu will jump on you sometimes. Stuff like that.

I hate these type of statements.

"Maybe if you guys were as good as me you wouldn't have the problem."

If I have Joel Zumaya on the hill in the 9th and I elevate a fastball on an 0-2 or 1-2 count somebody will eventually chase. Even if I throw it in the strike zone the odds of somebody catching up to a 100 mph pitch is slim. It can happen but every game? Also if I throw an 0-2 slider off the plate and they don't chase, that's fine. But when I come back with a 1-2 fastball on the edge of the inside corner and they turn on it...whoa. Once in a while OK but every damn time? That's the problem.

But yea maybe we're just not as good as you.

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

Stewaat, i believe you completely, you have been on here for years and i respect your views, you have no need to lie, that said, you point out Zoomer, whenever i bring him in, without fail, he totally shuts the other side down, strikeouts galore (as you would expect with a 100mph heater), he must have an ERA below 1 at the moment and almost double the number of strikeouts to innings thrown.

As i say, i know you are not lying, but i just wanted to show that the pendulum really can swing the other way.

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

With Zumaya for me it's walk, walk, confidence shot, mound visit, strike out, and then either inning ending double play or another hit and i have to take him out because of already used mound visit. LOL. That's just me though.

I play MOM mode and their is not option to turn comeback on or off. I see the same thing as you and I attribute it to a combination of clutch and confidence. I firmly believe that clutch is turned on in the 9th inning and is leading to the comeback stuff. I now use whichever reliever has the most confidence as my closer. If Joe Idiot just up from the minors has high confidence and Bruce Sutter has low confidence, I'm using Joe Idiot as my closer. That's my new strategy.

In the middle of June with 17 save opportunities I have had only two clean 9th innings. Capps was my closer and since I have pulled him out of the 9th inning he is throwing a lot of clean innings which were rare when he was the closer.

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

I'm tired of this stupid comeback AI. It's ruining a great game for me. There is no reason why my SP should be getting their ERA wacked like this. I have a great 1st inning. Scoring 3-4 runs. Next thing you know next inning the CPU scores 1. I think ok, I got this. Nope, 2nd inning they tie it. Then 4th inning they take the lead. I catch up only to lose the lead again in the 8th. It happens if not every other game, at least 1 out of 3 games.

I change my pitching, I change my strategy, nothing works. This is horrible. No way should I be giving up game tying home runs to Ryan Shealy. S***, don't even get started on the amazing hitting streak the go on and my horrible defense that suddenly pops up.

It is so frustrating to put together a solid game only to have it ruined by this stupid comeback AI.

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

I am about to see how well this f**ing game can fly. Im sick and tired of the computer being unable to hit for the first 5 or so innings and then all of a sudden with 2 outs they cant be stoped. The worst part about it i know its comming and there is nothing i can do about it.

My pitchers confidance was all the way up and he had plenty of endurance so you can blame it on that. Sometimes i really feel this game is scripted.

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

Hopefully these boost/ clutch comeback ect stuff will be addressed and toned down to realistic levels in a patch soon .
So keep posting guys :wink: as this game is near perfect ! Way to go SCEA what a game !

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

What sucks is, on one hand you have a really tough AI opponent. That is good. Sports games lose my interest too often by how easily you can figure them out and win every game with blowouts. On the other hand, the AI is frustratingly difficult, since it comes back in games by BS errors or suddenly having the user's dominating pitcher lose all possible control out of nowhere for no reason.

SCEA just needs to balance this. I love the fact that every game is competitive, it just becomes extremely frustrating with the cheap ways the AI comes back. And it's even more frustrating as the people playing the game, that the Devs are sitting here telling us no such thing exists. Basically every person who owns the game is experiencing this, you have to acknowledge that SOMETHING is a little off here. I talk to people on other forums who don't post here and didn't even know what the comeback glitch was, and they're complaining about it. It isn't just a bunch of sim-freaks overanalyzing the game and getting mad about something simple, so please stop trying to write it off as that.

Are they?

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

Every single person I've talked to who has played the game has experienced it. Which leads me to believe if you say you haven't, you're just simply lying.
