Question about a game I played last night
-
Last night I played a game against a player that was tied in the final inning. My opponent, who was a bunt/steal cheeser and I was doing pretty well against that, but runner on third with one out. He tries for the suicide squeeze with two strikes and he misses badly for the strikeout and I am waiting for the runner at home for the sure out and the win.
Then my catcher is frozen and cannot move or throw. The runner starts back to third, then starts back towards home, but I am still frozen and can only stand there like a statue. He finally goes back to third and the game immediately lets me start playing again and he gets a single to win the game.
Did I get cheated, or was it just bad luck? In the end I accept the loss as my fault, not for that play, but if I had gotten the next batter I could have still won. I only wish I knew how to record the screen so I could submit to SDS. Not so much because I think they would do anything, but at least it would be better than the "do nothing" option I took.

Sorry, all you can do is nothing. If he got caught at home, than how could the next batter, (probably already programed) hit the game winner? It's a video game, we win and lose, in spite of ourselves.

I understand that I just wanted to know if this guy froze me out. If anything, it makes me feel better knowing he had to resort to that level after his cheesing basically failed.

It's an error in the coding. Sometimes when your player has the ball he gets 'stuck' at that base. Pretty much what I do is just try to move him with the joystick and he'll eventually move towards the runner.

I must not have tried that enough. When I have a runner hung out to dry, I always try to run him as far as I can back towards the bag. If I know he will run back to me, especially at home I won't get him with the return throw and am ok with trapping him back where he started.

Yeah SDS cheated you. This game is very poorly designed.
