    I'm curious too. Why does this happen? 98 Newhouser has a 81 control, i believe. I get the pitch perfect and it goes right down the middle. You try and paint and it either two feet outside or right down the pipe. I've lost so many games because of that and it happens a lot, ladies and gentlemen. This dude saying 6 times a game is accurate.

    Pray that’s how pitching works. Pray you hang less pitches then your opponent

    No joke, man. It's fair, I guess. I know I've ruined a few gamers day with a moon shot on the hanger or a piped fastball. I just wish it wasn't so consistent.

    Strangely, I just played 4 straight 1-0 DD games. Lucky to win 3 of them. Tomorrow I’ll probably give up 4 straight homers.

    Perfect perfect pitch goes down the middle. Opponent prefect perfect swing line drives right at left fielder. Ball hits fielder in the face and he drops it. Runner rounds first and can’t get back before left fielder throws him out at first.

    That’s baseball 🤷‍♂️

    You know each pitch has its individual attributes right. Even if the Newhouser has 81 control, his primary (4sb) might have 95 control while his 4th/5th pitch might be 55

    How does a perfect release go down the middle 6 times in one game

    How incompetent can creators be for this to happen? 6 times in one game!!!

    This game is garbage.

    Ive personally had an issue with this for awhile. In RL baseball when a pitcher gets a perfect release the ball goes where he is intending to pitch to. Pitchers who dont have good control are generaly struggling to find thier release point. It would be nice if it was easier to get a perfect release with control pitchers(Maddux). But more difficult to get a perfect release with flame throwers with low control (Ryan). Maybe a larger line on the meter for control pitchers. But a pitch with perfect release shouldnt be going a foot away from its intended target.

    No one can explain pitching, not even the developers.

    It's like a roulette table. You know where you want it to go, but it doesn't go there as often as you would like. That's the rng for you. Some days it feels like you'd have more luck on the roulette table, though.

    If it is random, it’s because the developers programmed it that way. The code doesn’t take on a mind of its own and write itself. Although that would be a seriously cool concept.

    I wish you were incorrect. Having multiple layers of rng is really a lot like a roulette wheel, only you have to roll to get a chance on the wheel.

    So you're saying they broke it intentionally. Bold strategy Cotton. What I'm suggesting is that they have no idea what the right amount of rng is for this particular part of the game, so it seems altogether random in its outcomes because of that.

    Until it decides it doesn't need us and we get thrust into a real life terminator movie.

    I was thinking I, Robot but then I realised that would be incorrect because those robots were behaving exactly as they were programmed to. As Cromwell said, ‘the three laws are perfect’.

    I’ve not seen beyond T2, now I want to watch the rest. I’ve heard some bad reviews, but you can’t possibly compare them to the first two and not have exceedingly high expectations. If you’ve seen any of the others, would you recommend them? Thanks

    That’s another awesome concept right there - a roulette wheel to get a place at the roulette table!

    Layers of randomness within randomness is still randomness. Mathematically, a one in 10 chance in a one in 10 chance is still a one in 100 chance.

    Edit: that reminds me of when radio stations run promotions when you phone in and if you’re the lucky 5th caller you get your name in the draw for a the prize at the end of the month (or something like that).

    No, if it were broken it wouldn’t work as intended. I was responding to your opening sentence about the devs not being able to explain pitching which I disagree with. I should have edited the rest out because it wasn’t relevant to my reply. My apologies.

    I honestly don't think they could in a way that would satisfy the laymen.

    The problem with the entire game is that they are trying match it up with realistic stats, but this not real life, this is a game where user input should matter more than actual rng.

    Pitching is simply a mathematical roll of the dice as it stands, as is hitting.

    If I wanted a casino game, that's where I'd go.

    I have no beef with you at all, but if they have indeed programmed it this way, they have intentionally broken it (layman's term) to take out the human input factor, or at least lessen it.

    Either way, it's all broken and not very satisfying the way it plays now.

    You’re right - crying about something in an online video game forum that A) you have no ability to change but B) could absolutely avoid if you wanted to...THAT’S where it’s at.
