Why is the A.I in this game so horrible at times

You actually attempted to defend this?

Lol.

The crazy thing is that there is an entire other thread dedicated to this same issue

I'm sorry. I just don't see the problem with the CPU making mistakes. Over the years I have seen so many of you all complaining that the CPU never makes mistakes and now it actually does misplay balls and make base running mistakes and you all complain about that.

I can honestly say I have seen this section of the forums change drastically over the years and it certainly is not for the better.

Sorry you guys dont enjoy the game, but with this I am out.

I agree with Nem. It definitely needs some attention for next year's version. For me, it's been a runner heading home when there's no way he should be doing so, no attempt to turn back, and getting tagged out well before the plate. Fortunately it hasn't happened too often but enough that it's been noticeable.

It seems to me it always happen when I dive with the infielder (and, in the video, the second baseman also dives).


The most frequent is, with a runner on first, they hit a ground ball to the third baseman. If I dive and the ball goes to left field, there's a great chance that the runner will try to go to the third or even home and it's a easy out for me.

I don't think people are questioning occasional CPU base running mistakes in trying to stretch a base. I also understand what you are saying about the approach some people take on here pointing issues out but there are issues with the CPU on the base paths. In that video he posted, forget third base the CPU was heading home, he was not breaking down to stay at the bag or even slide. The CPU is constantly running themselves out of innings and it mostly happens on going to third and home situations with slow or fast rated runners.
