Pitching with runners on.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

Ya, this issue basically is a game killer for me. I really can't play the game if I can't pitch and all they give up is homers...........

I agree. I'm getting killed in franchise mode, partly due to this glitch. I've given up 2-3 run homers almost every game because of this problem, and as a result, I'm 5-13 in my franchise. This is going to make me put the game aside until they (hopefully) fix this in the patch.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

I just can't believe that they allowed this through........pitching is half of baseball. The game is almost perfect otherwise, but let's just hope that it is also addressed in the newest patch coming out. If it isn't........then I don't know what i'm going to do.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

They couldn't just "allow" it through if some people are experiencing it.

I have never seen this issue so what does that say? It definitely suggests that there is some user error involved.

Am I suggesting that the product is not at fault? No. But to blame it entirely on the product is wrong when there are people not experiencing this issue.

I pitch with runners on and I never had a problem with the meter not registering my movements.

How exactly are you guys pitching? It's unfortunate that something like this is ruining your experience but I understand why it would. I'd be frustrated too. I'm not sure what I could do to test this out and figure out why people are experiencing this.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

There is no user error involved. No matter how perfect you pitch it will still happen.

Then why am I not experiencing this issue?

And that's not a challenging question. I'm just saying. I haven't experienced it. If it were soley a programming issue then surely I would have experienced at least once with all the baserunners I have on. No?

Re: Pitching with runners on.

I've never had this happen to me either. If your having problems maybe you could find a reliever who only pitches from the stretch an practice in the tutorial to see what's registering when you pitch.

No idea why you aren't. Guess your just magic.

haha, seriously, I'm not trying to be my typical a**hole self here.

If this is a program issue then I just hope I don't ever experience it.

I will say this. I've had two similar instances happen before but not the way people are describing.

1. From the windup the meter did not register my second movement. Only happened once and never again.

2. In a seperate game, threw a changeup and the game suggested it was a poor gestured fastball. At first I thought that maybe I just pressed down and then up (and thought I was going crazy for thinking I did something else) but the meter showed me that I had in fact pressed up and then down. It just didn't see it as a changeup. Only time that's ever happened though.

Both times I didn't get burned so I guess that's why I never really cared.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

Yeah Yankee, I've seen both the things you mention, as well as a third instance where the meter just seems to stop working altogether, turns red, and I throw a meatball. All three seem like glitches to me, although the first one (your #1) could be related to the intesity of the moment and the pitch selected. That's what it seemed like a couple of times, as if the game was saying, "no, you don't get to be accurate here, you have to nail it." In those instances, it was actually kinda cool. The other two seem to be glitches without question, though.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

I have seen it, but glitch or not, if you just time your release correctly nothing out of the ordinary will happen. I have been burned by it, but I don't mind it so much. However, that doesn't mean I don't want the patch to fix it. It just isn't a game killer for me.

I know you aren't. I really don't have an answer for you. I have NO idea why it affects some people and not others. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to program the game. The only workaround I have found was to do the first gesture and then let go and quickly bridge the gap with the second one. But, I did end up giving up a grand slam that way so what do I know.

[CMH]

Re: Pitching with runners on.

What exactly happens?

Is there no maximum at all? Like does the meter all of a sudden start from the larger circle and you need to release at it's smallest point? Or is it something like the meter is expanding far too quickly to react?

Im gonna put this link out because this guy describes it pretty good. For me i can get around it by making the first pitch gesture twice, but it will NEVER work for Derrick Turnbow no matter what i do, i don't get it. I Almost have to trade him which i hate doing but its impossible.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

I still can't replicate it with Turnbow/Stretch/etcetera.....

But I have seen it just randomly go wonky for a bit, and a few pitches later it corrects itself. I can generally tell when it fills up and I never get a vibration. The stick code for offense and pitching is definitely not quite all there, but I'm less convinced there are certain situations causing it.

Re: Pitching with runners on.

yeah i just registered for these forums just to say that this exact glitch has happened to me a few times. it's not the users fault, it simply doesn't register the pitch. the double start solution i have yet to try.

weirdly, the last time it happened i loaded the roster from the hard drive, which is downloaded, and played an exhibition game with the red sox, noticed that schilling was still listed in the rotation, and becket and wakefield had a 10.00 + ERA, which is the ERA from my franchise. also beckett was injured in my franchise, dunno if that has any effect. so i picked him as the starter, since i was playing an exhibition game, not a franchise, PLUS i had just RELOADED the up-to-date roster... anyway the glitch happened to becket from the get go, i warmed up relievers and nothing changed. none of this can really be explained...

hope they patch this game soon, i fear this game will be dead to me long before they figure out how to fix all these issues.
