Re: 3-0 meat pitch by the cpu
I remember in 2K6 if you fall behind 3 - 0 as the pitcher, the catcher normally positions himself right down the pipe as well. That's probably what's going on.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60 -
Re: 3-0 meat pitch by the cpu
Yes, and it is normally the smart play. IRL most hitters have the hold sign on a 3-0 count, so throwing it down the middle to get a strike on the batter is smiled upon.
Why try to paint the corner when the hitter has the red light?Comment

Re: 3-0 meat pitch by the cpu
The CPU will miss the middle late in the game when the pitcher is tired."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: 3-0 meat pitch by the cpu
Is it just me.. or even when they throw it right down the pipe at 3-0, I end up hitting a ground ball anyway.

Re: 3-0 meat pitch by the cpu
i'm not sure here but isn't a meat pitch a mistake, if the cpu intends on throwing it down the middle that shouldn't be a meat pitch.Comment

Re: 3-0 meat pitch by the cpu
I see this almost every time at 3-0 as well. I approach it by letting a top-notch hitter swing away if the situation calls for it, but rarely letting a lesser hitter swing. As was said earlier in the thread, this is how it is mostly handled in the majors...
I agree that more often than not, it seems if you swing at one of these, it doesn't usually work in your favor. I often hit the ball hard, but usually right at someone. Although I do remember hitting a big-time clutch grand slam on a 3-0 count...Comment
