Alright, I've never done anything like this in terms of posting, but I just wanted to share with everyone because I'm pumped right now.
My buddy challenged me to beat his record of making the AI pitchers throw the most balls and most pitches in general throughout a game. He said his record was 38 balls and 108 pitches (as you can tell, we are very impatient players).
I set out wanting to beat both of these, so I set a guideline for the game of not swinging at anything unless I had two strikes on my hitters.
With that said...I feel like I just played the best game I have ever played on any system in any year and I feel so friggin accomplished right now I wanted to share it with everyone. It was so rewarding, haha.
The only downfall is because of all this, the game took nearly two hours for me to play. This is the only time this is gonna happen because I'm not gonna keep playing two hour games. Next game, I'm gonna be back to swinging at 95% of the pitches and hoping for the best.
This was in my franchise, where I play every sixth game. That way, I go through my starting rotation in order, but skip a start every time in between. So for instance, I play with the Tigers. I begin the year playing Verlander's first game, then Fister's second start, Scherzer's third start, so on and so forth.
This is now year three of my franchise, the first game after the All Star Break. Against the White Sox.
The damage was forcing the AI to throw 187 pitches, 77 balls, drawing 7 walks, and nearly throwing a perfect game.
The first hit I gave up was a weak grounder to third base with one out in the seventh that for some reason Cabrera just disregarded entirely and it trickled by him. I later gave up a legitimate single in to left center in the eighth, so I wasn't terribly upset.
I'm playing on a custom setting with custom sliders. The hitting sliders (contact/power) for the AI are both 90 and for human they are 50. Pitching-wise for the AI, pitch speed is at 95, pitch success at 75, everything else at 50. For the human, pitch speed is 85, meter speed is 90, everything else at 40. I threw every single pitch where the catcher wanted it and the type of pitch he called for every time. Ugh. This was awesome. I wish it didn't take so long.
I took a picture of each screen of the box score because I was too excited not to, basically.
Alright. Rant/brag is over. I was just wondering if anyone else, against the AI, has made them throw that many pitches in a nine inning game or more specifically, that many balls?
