Predetermined Outcome in franchise games?

[Mav3rek7]

Had a classic "comeback logic"/"hard coded outcome" against me this morning. (Not saying there is any such thing, just one of those games where it sure does feel like it...)

Tie game, bottom 9, I get a leadoff double, and blow my friggin' chance. Sacrifice to 3rd, strikeout, line out.

Top 10th, I get 2 very quick outs, and I'm feeling good.... and then it happens...

A slow hit up the first base line where the firstbaseman has to take one or two steps to his left, and it goes right freakin' past him....

I said to myself at that point that I'm about to get screwed out of the game.

Next batter, first pitch, guy takes off for 2nd, throw is way off and he gets an easy steal.

Next pitch, I throw a curve down and out of the zone, and using meter pitching I nail the line coming back getting perfect timing, all green, and Braun reaches out and singles back up the middle, runner scores easily, I lose 2-1 in 10 innings.

The rage was burning within me with the fire of a thousands suns!


After I've had a few hours to calm down, I'm actually pretty satisfied with the result, knowing that baseball just happens to be crazy some times.

Still felt a little cheated though...

On a side note in a way. kinda..

does anyone else feel like there are certain infielders in this game that feel that diving for a ball no matter what is below them? I do have seen it for years... balls that I deem to be stopped by a dive by them no matter if it is a 1B all the way to 3B.

anyone else sees this or is it just me? I'm also taking about default sliders not custom

I've found (at least it seems) that some things are just meant to happen. I've simmed the same game 3 times (mix of wins and losses) and Luis Perdomo got hurt in every single one of them.

This is why I tend to pick another team to do a Franchise with. When I start losing with my Marlins, I get so incredibly frustrated, but when I lose several in a row with another team, I can shake it off much easier.

Go Marlins!

Hot and Cold steaks, it happens unexpectedly but sometimes an opposing pitcher is just untouchable that game. Who thought Chen was going to go to no hit the Mariners last night for 7in IRL?
Back to the Show, I just finished a series playing the Brewers, they swept me, I only scored 1 run all series. The next game was at home and I mashed again.

This is baseball, its unpredictable and pure.
This game is a good example of that. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, it's just not your game to win... this time.

Well wouldn't you know it, the comeback code...aka the mariners got me again. This time I gave up two 2 strike homeruns in the bottom of the 9th. This time I ended up losing in the bottom of the 13th. I can wait to get out of this damn city.

On a side note, I like how this has turned into a "I can't believe I blew it" or "not this time CPU" thread. Haha
