I'm getting an uncomfortable feeling patch 1.12

[tessl]

is going to be the end. Unfortunately gameplay is the worst of all the patches.

Oh well.

[Caulfield]

So far so good for me but wasn't there one for 17 in like, September?

So don't give up hope on one more for 18, maybe even two.

Foul Frequency is broken with the patch. My slider is at minimum and CPU is routinely fouling off 6-9 pitches per at bat.

6-9 per at bat?

Holy crap, what total pitch counts are you seeing with all pitchers combined?

That's just it, I can hardly foul off jack squat. I foul off maybe 3-4 per at bat. That's a realistic amount from the baseball I've seen.

The AI will literally foul off almost anything and everything.

Pitch counts usually wind up being standard but I'm patient so I can usually get 6 or 7 pitches per at bat out of them. But in this recent game against the Tigers, not so much. Hector Santiago had 89 pitches by the end of the 5th compared to 37 to Jordan Zimmerman.

Also, I've seen the AI get some unrealistic steal jumps. James McCann, Victor Martinez, and Miggy are getting insane jumps on steals. Castillo can hardly get the ball there. I can hardly throw out anybody.

Yeah that would be approximately 220 - 330 pitches per game if it was an average scoring game.

I can't speak for what the patch did or didn't do regarding fouls, but i rarely have seen the CPU generate even the MLB average of foul balls.

Im curious to know exactly many fouls and pitches are being recorded.

Eh, first 3 innings are usually smooth. By the end of those, I usually only have thrown about 30-40 pitches. I guess when the AI begins to realize your pitcher is tired, they start fouling everything off, unrealistically at that, to get your pitcher out. Seems like it's just a mechanism that they broke with the latest patch.

This happened rarely before this patch and it's happening twice in this game I'm playing now. Juan Minaya is getting a little tired and they're starting foul off everything.
