Low Scoring Games

Hey Everyone

Just playing franchise mode, Dynamic difficulty at Allstar+ for Pitching and Allstar + for hitting,

Early on in the season, ive played about 15 games or so, and most of them are resulting in Low hit-Low Scoring games, 6-5 in Hits and Maybe 3-1 in Score for practically every game, not much diversity

Is this normal?

Re: Low Scoring Games

My first five games

W 2-1
W 10-0
W 9-3
L 6-10
W 4-1

I have diff on Dynamic and right now my hitting is on HOF and pitching is on all-star I believe only after getting my *** kicked in that 10-6 game I was on HOF pitching as well

You wouldn't happen to be playing with the Phillies?

But I would play another 15 games a see if there is any change in results before you really judge.

Re: Low Scoring Games

My games have been pretty even as far as scoring goes. I went through a stretch of about 6 games where I scored 3 runs each game. I was 4 out of the 6 though. Then the next game I beat the A's 5-0.

The odd thing I have noticed is the insane amount of home runs. I'm in a game right now that has seen 5 HR's already between the two teams. I'm up 7-4 in the 8th. I've played some games to a 3-2 or a 3-1 score where all runs were from HR's and nothing else.

Re: Low Scoring Games

My games have been very low scoring. I'm much better at pitching than I am hitting and I was using Hall of Fame pitching and All Star hitting, the games would usually end up 2-1, 2-0, 3-2, etc. My hitting is so bad that I lowered the difficulty to veteran and raised pitching difficulty to legend to try to fix it.

Re: Low Scoring Games

Man I'd just keep going and presume it's an anomaly. This game is crazy like that; you go through a stretch where you have 15 straight 2-1 type games then you run into a stretch where 5 or 6 in a row have finals of 8-6 and 9-7.

I do think guys have a tendency to set their sliders in such a way that the odd 15-10 or 20-6 final score literally never happens, but overall I think if your settings are appropriately balanced you should see a majority of games fall into the range where 3 runs is average, 4 runs is good and 5-7 runs is a lot.

My last 10:

L 7-6
L 10-0
L 2-1
W 5-3
W 3-2
L 19-5
L 2-1
W 4-1
L 4-2

Seems fine to me.

Re: Low Scoring Games

I had a bunch of low-scoring games the first two weeks or so of the season. But my last three games:

W, 7-5
W, 8-3
L, 9-2
