Is this game scripted?
-
It’s not scripted as in it decides who is going to win and who is going to lose, but there are still so many variables that go into results beyond user input. If you swing at the exact same time at the exact same pitch with the exact pci placement, how many different contact results are possible? And because different results can occur from the exact same input, Lord only knows what the programming will decide what’s going to happen on any given pitch. And things do tend to get weird after the 7th inning.

It feels scripted at times but it's probably just a series of random events that occur one after the other. For all of the times you hold down the lead despite giving up a warning track PERFECT, sometimes one gets away due to a couple of fluke singles and a hanging slider knocked over the fence on EARLY contact.
Welcome to the Show.

Against the AI probably. They love to homer off your newly brought in reliever.
Just yesterday playing the Daily Moment I was up 3-0 in the 2nd inning and Morton was out of energy, brought in a warmed up reliever to face Dom Smith in a favorable matchup and I said to myself, I will probably get him to 0-2 and he will homer. Well, got him to 0-2 and he fouled the next pitch off so I buried the next 0-2 pitch away and about a foot off the plate and he homered.
i won 3-1 so whatever but you can totally feel when the AI is effing with you.

I'm not a programmer but I have noticed that there is some AI memory programmed into the game. example you keep putting pitches in the same cold zone they will eventually crush it especially the more times the hitter faces that pitcher thats against the CPU if you add in a skilled player on top of that with good pci control and its a recipe for disaster.

For whatever reasons, call it fate, call it luck, call it karma, I believe we are destined to have our Perfect/Perfect liners bounce off the pitcher's head, straight to the 3rd baseman.
The real question you should ask is if real life is scripted?

That’s when the clutch ratings take effect (aside form players in scoring position)

Definitely not scripted it's just a simulated baseball experience based off of realistic situations. User input makes probably 30% of the deciding factor.factor.I
I started a new topic about hardcore ranked seasons. Let me know what you guys think

You started a second topic of the same nature; we disagreed yesterday and I’m guessing it’ll be the same today

Disagreed with what? Having a separate game mode available to people who want a user skill experience? So you want everyone stuck in this gameplay style so you can feel like you play at a high level?
If I wanted to see a random pitch result, I would just watch a real baseball game. What's the point to play a video game against another human opponent if what you are doing doesn't control the outcome? Why wouldn't we just play the computer to get these "realistic" outcomes?
