Okay, we need to talk about AI suicide squeezes

[L_Thibs]

I agree with the OP. I've played 70 games and have seen it quite frequently. Here is the worst scenario it occurred in:


the game was in extra- innings, bottom of the inning....the CPU had the bases loaded and no outs....popped up the bunt to my pitcher, which resulted in a triple play.


I'm honestly surprised people (and Ramone) are not seeing suicide squeezes occur more often due to the frequency I've had it happen.

If this happened to me, Tiger Woods would pale in comparison to my fist pump and screaming.

Russell,

I've seen the CPU do it before on legend mode.. The Red Sox too no less. They had Ortiz and their big power guys up and they bunted with Ortiz, i was very surprised.

Its happened to me before as well, a few times. Late innings, runner on 1st and 3rd, its almost guaranteed. You can throw a ball way outside so they can't make contact and just apply the tag. I've had a couple games end that way

I've personally only seen a suicide squeeze once in all the games that I've played. And it wasn't out of the ordinary.

Played about 10 games in franchise mode. Seen it twice already in tied games in the 9th. One of those instances they bunted four times in a row to load the bases and then squeeze a man home to win in the bottom of the ninth. Ugh

I've seen it about 4 times in 50 games.
The first 3 times it caught me off guard because honestly, who calls a squeeze?
The 4th time I suspected it was coming but I got quick counted into a 3-1 count.

I thought AI throwing errors were insane after my first 3 games I saw 11 throwing errors from the CPU. I remember coming on her expecting to see threads everywhere but in 50 games in my franchise there have only been a couple three more. the high frequency noise is what keeps a franchise from feeling stale!

Funny this came up. I saw it today for the first time after playing about 40 games. The situation called for it and the AI executed. I thought it was great and very similar to real life.
