I'm gonna say it & it might ruffle some feathers...

My only evidence Mr Holmes is Rookie and Veteran level is cake.

The CPU is weak below All-Star. They don’t pose any threat pitching (fat over the plate meatballs galore).

Once you get to All-Star and above it becomes a game of chess.

Playing this game for over 15 years you kinda have a good feel for what’s going on.

I believe the CPU will pick up tendencies on all levels but it’s more prominent on the higher difficulty levels. I’m almost certain All-Star is the baseline between higher/lower difficulty levels.

If you read the in game strategy guide it even suggests that it occurs on all levels with the “skill” being scaled down for lower difficulty levels

A lot of this thread, is similar to the stuff I read on fan forums for actual baseball.

I don’t fret too much on what happens in game. If Bartolo Colon can hit a HR in real life, anything is possible in sports!

I play exclusively franchise-manage full game. Do you think the AI picks up it's own tendencies at higher levels?

Yup.


I've seen pitchers give up four runs in the first and then shut the opposition down for another five.

I don't know. I can play a game to the 9th and have and saved and exited then play that 9th inning scenario multiple times and get different results.

Maybe one could argue that reloading the game changes what is "predicted" to happen.

I had a game like this. I was up 4-3, pitching in the top of the 9th and played the scenario in franchise 10 times. For context I was up 4-1 in the 7th and gave up a 2 run double in the 8th. In these 10 scenarios, I was able to get the save 8/10, score was tied 1/10, and the CPU took the lead on a 2 run homer 1/10.

I also have the scenario where it was tied 4-4 going into the bottom of the 9th saved but haven't tested it yet.

It seems like to me this "comeback code" isn't there. If it was in my opinion, the CPU gaining momentum in the 8th would have carried over and they would have been unstoppable.

It's baseball, outcomes differ.
