Re: Video: Lester Pitching; CPU Swings At Everything..

well other than that, the game looks great. But most importantly it's a huge improvement from last year.

I hope they worked more on the playoffs with the celebrations and everything.

In this video check out how every strike Lester throws, the CPU will swing. Not saying that's not how it should be done in baseball..but I wish they could at least get some called strikes on them? This could be a problem.

Check it out for yourselves, it goes through 3 innings of pitching, and every batter is swinging away:

This is my biggest concern right now. People say we can fix this with sliders but , nobody knows for sure because we don't have the game yet.

Re: Video: Lester Pitching; CPU Swings At Everything..

I'm concerned about this as well, but two things are preventing me from freaking out just yet.
<ul>
<li>In the video, it appears Lester (the player) is grooving everything down the middle.</li>
<li>In the IGN "Damon Strikes Out" video, the computer takes a strike.</li>
</ul>
All that said, I did mention when Steve put up the ratings that hitters did not have a "batting eye" of "draw walk" rating. This is the biggest "unknown" in the game right now (for me) and the most concerning.

Yep, this is my biggest concern too. I guess we won't know for sure until March 3rd unless someone can shed some light on this before then (Simballer?), as the demo probably won't have slider adjustments, plus they may have tweaked this in the final build.....let's hope.

They definitely made tweaks for the final version. SimBaller said the teamed toned down fielder arm strength for the final version, I'm sure they made other minor adjustments too. The propensity of the computer to swing at anything in the zone is so noticeable, I can't imagine someone on the team not speaking up.

Trevytrev asked about this in the Dev Chat & here's the answers he got:

Hopefully simballer can clarify this because 2 different devs said 2 different things.

Well If it means anything in MLB 2K8 although they did have take sliders The batting sucess slider improved taking a pitch because they knew they had less sucess of making contact. Batting Sucess is in MLB 2K9 also so I dont think we have any worries.
