    @mlbfan377_psn said in What I really love about this game:

    There's no way this is true. There are consistent good players that are really good every year. Go watch one of CBrev's streams, he almost always wins, I don't think I've EVER seen him lose although I'm sure it happens sometimes. If what you were saying was true, CBrev would win 50/50 or 75% of the time, not 99%.

    I watch Cbrev and yes he is an amazing player. But he goes through this also. He will consistently square balls up for outs. They aren’t saying the better player will always lose, what they are saying is the game will handicap the players

    You are absolutely correct. There are many players out there that do appear to make pretty solid contact and rarely swing outside the strike zone. I aspire to be that way. I swing at non-strikes less than 5% of the time. Well, based on what the lying PCI animates.

    The problem with this whole Cbrev always wins thingie is this. Listen, and try to be open-minded.

    Let's just say Cbrev has the best reflexes and eye on the planet. You have a whole tier, though, of other players that are just about as fast. Perhaps another 50k or so. I would say even more than that.

    Now, throw in the fact the AI really only needs to manipulate animation on a few pitches in the whole game to give 'ol Cbrev a warning-track fly while letting his opponent get the "no bunt cheese!" is the only difference between a win and a loss.

    So, again, I really don't believe the best player wins 95%. It just ain't part of how this game is coded.

    And the fact someone is suggesting this adds to the fire there is some marketing manipulation going on somewhere.

If what you were saying was true, CBrev would win 50/50 or 75% of the time, not 99%.

    Let me ask you something..do you believe there is any possibility that a gaming company would purposely create these "super-human" players. By that I mean, manipulate the whole CBrev package in order to give folks like you a hero to strive to be? I believe it's not only very easily possible, it's a part of most online games.

    But, especially with this game where your only variable (for the most part) is a swing and pitch there really aren't a whole lot of moving pieces. Not like FIFA or Madden where you're controlling 11 pieces and, literally, thousands of potential outcomes (moves, formations and such). And we know AI scripting is rampant in those 2.

    So, you have this EXTREMELY limited variable-set in the game. Anyone that spends a few hours in this game will begin to get an inherent ability to perfect-pitch and swing only at strikes. At that point the AI has to step in and be the decider.

    That's where you see the perfect-pitch you throw 8 inches below the knees end up in the middle of the plate. An opponent that can't hit anything the entire game suddenly string 3 base-hits together on pitches he flailed at for the first 20 AB's.

    The pitch (much more than the swing) is where the AI HAS to take over and manipulate. Otherwise we would all be batting .500 with homeruns every 3 or 4 AB's. In a gaming environment like that with the AI being such a decisive factor I don't for one minute believe there is anyone that wins 90% of the time, 80% of the time or even 70% of the time.

    This game is designed for parity..and parity is what results. Any numbers that indicate otherwise, you have to consider, could be marketing tools.

    You only ever control 1 player on fifa max 2 , anyway game sux carry on.

    whattttttttttttt? What does that mean? Have you ever played the game of FIFA? I'm thinking troll all the way, but go play it sometime. There are layers of complexity. It's not like swinging bat at ball and having AI paint a often false animation of what just happened.

    Go play. I mean..just go play. In the sand box, hide-and-seek, chase pokemon, whatever your age group does. I doubt very much you were alive in 1996.

    But, that's ok. Keep rattling.
