Daily Moment = Who TF Makes Decisions?

It's unfortunate, but the answer to many of these types of issues is the same.
Lazy programming.
Whether you are making a pizza, building a bench, painting a picture or writing code. You should be proud of what you put out there.
There's so much lazy coding, it's mind numbing.

Pitcher hitting makes sense because DD doesnt use the DH.
it also makes sense that they use the existing game engine for moments instead of a lot of time programming a new system just for moments that the cpu would probably screw up the entire game on because of 2 differing gameplay systemsI appreciate that you took the time to address the DH and hits/walks. IMO, it's lazy.
Lazy? How bout not hearing the bosses [censored] constantly about overtime, or about about how the work needs to get done and your crew puts in shifts and a half early in the week only to have half a crew at the end on the busiest times cause they sent ppl home to avoid OT to protect their bonuses.
2nd point is, dont you think if they did create one system that had a DH and then one that didnt (that was mostly used) the cpu would constantly be confused by the 2 different systems and screw it up constantly and render it unplayable for everyone?
Yeah, so I do not understand your rant about overtime? The game is chalk-full of lazy programming. That's for all sports games -- these card-collecting, mass-profit producing game modes have created a high-level of complacency. IMO there is a correlation between the two.
To your point about a system that can better understand when there is/isn't a DH: They already have it in the game, its uh...its THE gameplay feature that separates the NL and AL. Play an away game against an American League team then play an away game against a National League team -- you might be surprised with who is/isn't hitting in your lineup.

Here's the real issue-
Hes trying to hit for the cycle, announcer "Mookie Betts coming to the plate, 0-4 for the day"
Commentator: Mookie Betts, he is 3-4 today and a HR-shy of hitting for the cycle.
(checks stat-line, Mookie 3-4, 3 singles.)
Me: I don't think that's how that works... -

im not arguing with you, im amused by the fact that you have faith that they can put it into DD and get it right "with all the lazy programming that already exists."
You do have valid points about it, but then i think that goes back to the OT thing. i havent gone one day at work in the last 15 years without hearing the bosses complaining about hours, knowing that the only reason they care is because their bonuses will be lower.

Now I get your over-time point.
I honestly believe that the developers are capable and incredibly talented. I also believe that the amount of money they are making from DD is causing them to fixate on one game mode -- the other game modes all tie into DD...Kind of how all game modes tie into MUT or FUT or MyTeam.
The persistent goal over these past few years has been: How do we (SDS) make DD more accessible, immersive...basically addicting. The result is SDS focusing on additional content and DD tie-ins when what we are asking for are core-adjustments.
Their laziness is a product of the money they are producing. Why make core changes to the game, which takes effort, when you can sit back and let 13-18yos buy packs and stubs with mom/dads credit card. Look how jacked-up Sony's board is right now: https://gamerant.com/mlb-show-21-xbox-release-huge-sony-profits/
- Not having the pitcher hit when playing against an AL team
- Getting HBP/Walked in hit related moments
- Terrible hitting mechanics (that robbed us of OFM ...some fvcking how)
- Poor quality of life improvements/disregard for other game modes
Are each a result of laziness caused by money blindness.

Who decides to have pitchers batting in AL games (and in Moments where batting has no bearing on the goal)?
There is certainly no shortage of questions on "why" where it pertains to this series.
This one is very simple... pitchers hit in DD mode so they hit in DD moments regardless of the setting. Call it lazy or whatever you want, but that's why. Frankly it doesn't really bother me... minor inconvenience when I have to take 30 extra seconds to lay down a bunt and get out in a pitching moment.

Setting up a moment with the correct stat line going into it is easy. They are lazy.
The entire interface is available in the dev kit. They can set whatever parameters they want. They aren't though. To me, that's LAZY.

The issue is that the moment(s) take place in an actual baseball games and therefore should adhere to those parameters. I, and others are well aware that it is not the end of the world because an AL pitcher is hitting against an AL opponent. The notion speaks to an overarching issue when it comes to SDS and their development of the game.

I don't disagree that it's a bummer to have to deal with. I just think of it as a corner that was cut. I'm not educated enough on programming a game to know what sort of issues, if any, it would cause or how much work it takes to program those moments and those moments only to not include pitcher ABs.

Freaking hilarious. loaded up the moment and first pitch to Mookie was a 4 seamer right down the middle of the plate. Power swing and I deposited that ball into the 2nd level in LF. One pitch, done.
Other moments, it'll take me like 200 tries. SMH

I couldn't have said it better myself. Just lazy programming and that stuff starts to add up and drive me crazy.
If we can go to the moon, a video game programmer can make sure our pitcher doesn't bat in an AL moment... c'mon people!

It occurred to me yesterday when doing the save with Eckersley that these are made far ahead of time. The reason I think this is Jorge Soler was still on the Royals despite being traded around a week and a half ago.

I got the 4 seam down the middle on the first attempt and it hit the top of the wall for a double and I was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple lol
