    It's not RNG when I win but it is when I don't.

    I agree there seems to be some scripted [censored] in the game though. But then I see guys with records of 21-3 and think I just suck.

    It's a fair question. Sorry that logic is a struggle for you.

    Conspiracy theorists struggle with logic. It’s fine.

    How does the pre determined win RNG work in a 3v3 Ranked Co-op game?

    Gotta say this event was a blood bath for me. To the tune of a 25-67 event record I don’t feel like I’m that bad of a player but for sure this event killed my confidence. The road to 25 wins is brutal. But the RNG is clear as day on most of them. Like my fielders all of a sudden miss everything and pitches start coming in at what seems like HOF or Legend speed. Not like that every game, but it really does seem pre-scripted or something.

    OK. I will answer the question. I have in fact won games on it. Last week I won a game when I had runners on first and second. I hit one to the gap,

    fielder cut the ball off quickly and I stopped at what should have been bases loaded, but despite me not touching a button my runner rounded third and scored because the player accidentally threw to first base instead of second there was no time for that person to recover and throw me out.

    I would say about 20% of my wins come from this type of stuff. Guys I can't touch at the plate, but somehow hit that come from behind homer happen.

    If you cannot see this game is very scripted then you either are a top tier player where it doesn't matter and still win, or an SDS apologist.

    Lol then why even play? Do something better with your time, SDS can’t program a lot of things correctly and yet somehow they can program who’s going to win/loss

    Lol people so passionately argue about stuff they know nothing about everyday on here. The thought that a simple concept like RNG that helped build video games is used in the MLB video is just to much for there little hearts and tiny brains.

    It's more about the people complaining about predetermined outcomes and blaming it on RNG. Or DDA for RNG. If the game didn't have RNG it be freaking sentient and then we're all screwed! LOL

    cant speak for online as I only play offline but game is definitely scripted some.
    For an example this happens quite often.
    I will bring in a relief pitcher and get 2 strikes on a batter, I will then throw 4 pitches in a row that hit the corner (definitely border line strikes) and walk the batter. No matter who the batter is they take all 4 pitches even tho they have 2 strikes. Very next pitch to Next batter game will say I hung the pitch and I will give up a 2 run home run to lose game. This happens all the time when game feels I don't give up enough runs.

    Now granted none of this would matter if I was good at hitting and scored more runs 🙂
    Just very annoying as I absolutely know that it is going to happen after the walk.

    Dumb question… what’s RNG? I get that it must be something to do with randomness but I don’t get the acronym.

    Random Number Generator…it’s the base of most games to create random situations.

    All Sports sims are, at their core, randomized with parity being an objective. Developers are all about keeping players engaged. You don't stay engaged if you lose, or win, 90% of the games you play. To ensure parity the AI has to "take-over" and create those obviously scripted situations.

    And those 23-1 teams I've always speculated are as RNG as the gameplay. How difficult is it for code to generate fake player records? Bot players. So don't ever use 23-1 or 100-10 teams as some sort of proof of "superior player skills". 'Cause that's just silly logic.

    Wait, so using PCI is a bad thing? I keep seeing everyone rip on people using directional. Sorry if I am misunderstanding your reply.
