first pitch meatballs....bug?

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

Piggybacking off of this thread I was looking for real MLB pitch data for each count and cannot find it anywhere, maybe someone here can help? What I need is the average MLB ball to strike ratio for each pitch count.

I've been looking for this and haven't found one. Let us know if you do.

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

I don't have this issue in RTTS. My discipline rating is about 51, and while I do still see some fastballs, they are never K5 anymore. I'm also hitting about .313 with 11 HR's in August.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried changing the lead off hitter for the game to someone a little more feared?

I still, to this day, do not see this as a bug.

I am worried that you may be a little quick to dismiss this as not being a bug. I guess if you haven't seen this you would think it sounds like hyperbole. I do not pretend to understand why it would seem to affect some and not others. But getting first pitch fast balls right down the pipe is a frequent occurrence to some of us if we don't remember to step out before the pitch. At that point we then have to either "cheat" and rip the heater, or take the pitch and go down 0-1. The workaround seems to make this disappear, and I can survive the inconvenience of doing it, but I think it is certainly worth greater exploration and fixing if all of these people are correct. Thanks.

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

For those not seeing the meatball issue:
When you first palyed the game, did you use "beginner" mode or pre-select a more difficult setting?
I am curious if this has anything to do with the bug.
I am seeing the meatball problem and I started the game on "Expert" settings.

I would say its more a strike problem than a meatball problem. I feel this is where we lose some people. At least in my testing it wasn't so much a down the middle thing than just a extremely high strike rate and pitch being the guys #1 pitch at also an extremely high rate. Now granted half the strike zone you could say is down the middle.

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

Is there a consensus on whether the level that is chosen at the start-up of the game is a factor?

Beginner, Experienced, Expert (or whatever they are, I don't remember exactly).

This is what I am trying to figure out. For those that definetely do not see the problem, could you tell us how you first started playing the game? What level of difficulty did you start with?
I read somewhere (maybe this thread) that somebody stated at Community Day that the difficulty setting was possibly resetting back to beginner mode.

I had hoped it was this since Nomo picked expert and i thought one person a few pages back reinstalled and said they didn't notice it since. Although i think someone on the last page said they still had the issue after reinstalling and choosing expert. Frankly, i would like to see a few more people try this. If i wasn't with a download version i would try.

FWIW, I have noticed that the size of the PCI shrinks as I level-up the difficulty. That doesn't mean something isn't getting "left behind" in the change -- but it shows me that changing difficulties isn't completely flawed, if some try to make that argument.

It was this thread, i was hoping to hear from Nomo about it since it was supposedly his quote used. Post #495 it is.

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

psychobulk seemed to have a down the middle problem though.

This does look like a bug.

Who knows, it may be that I am getting stuck at some difficulty for those pitches, but it is HoF or legend... perhaps psycho got stuck at Beginner, dkrause at Veteran, etc.

We have done enough doubting, so we should focus on what could be causing this, in hope it can be patched.

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

Can someone check the PCI size before and after the dpad pause?

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

I've been following this thread, and had been seeing similar results in my handful of games on All-Star (first using experienced default, then using expert default...first strike percentages were in the 90 range). I felt like Ricky Henderson with every batter.

However, now I'm more confused than ever, because I just played a game on All-Star (new custom profile, with ONE slider adjustment: CPU Strike Frequency one notch down/to the left) with what seemed to be ideal percentages: CPU (Red Sox, Clay Buchholz on the mound) threw 56% first pitch strikes, 65% strikes overall.



Could it somehow be related to not using one of the default profiles? Just throwing more info out there.

I have change the sliders, deleted my profile, changed difficulties, etc and had the same problem. Do you remember changing anything else? Testing on default just was easiest so we could all stay on the same page. If it worked for you, that is awesome.

Re: first pitch meatballs....bug?

I am proud to report that the bug report I opened in the official show forum has the 4th most votes by the users and has been sent to AI department by the devs to be addressed in future updates.

So soon we will know if it is an issue AND if it is we will have a fix.

See Here:http://theshownation.com/bug_reports/10318

This should put an end to the debate...once SCEA confirms or debunks this bug.

yes, its been tried on different levels, different teams, different modes. Its pretty obvious if you have it and test it. Not everyone seems to have the problem. Plenty of testing in the thread.

What I mean is its not a universal bug. Much like the stuttering. Why are some seeing it and others not?

For what it's worth, I'm on default All Star.

I wish i knew, if it wasn't such a hassle (i have the download version) i would do the reinstall and pick expert or beginner (i picked the middle one- experienced is it called?) and see if that changed anything. Glad i haven't had the stuttering at least.
