I've never played a game that lets the worse player win all the time
-
Played a 5x flawless BR player. He smoked everything I threw to the plate. I either caught it at the wall or he hit it right at someone. There were no off the end of the bat or bloopers with this guy. Everything squared up.
I strikeout 7 times not touching a pitch. The programming forces him to walk my 8 batter and after not making contact all game I get rewarded with a 1st pitch perfect/perfect homer to win the game with my 9 hitter.
I had no business winning this game, but for some reason the programming thought it would hand me a win. Tell me why this a good thing? I play to compete. Not get my hand held.

Clayton Kershaw may get rocked by the A’s. Ronald Acuña and Freddie Freeman can get struck out by position players. Has nothing to do with the [censored] you’re referring to. Just luck of the day.
-
@Dookie-Possum The programming made it luck of the day. I didn't earn nothing. Those position players and the A's worked hard for those victories.
Please tell me you can see this difference?

I get my behind handed to me all the time (because I strike out too much) and typically only win when I pitch incredibly well and come up a bit clutch on offense. I've beaten a few WS/Flawless players in BR (never Ranked as far as I can remember) but only when I was the one squaring everything up and putting up a stack in the 1st inning. I've never felt like I was handed anything by the programming. I've had other games where I wa[censored]ting well and the good contact didn't come off for hits and it cost me. I lost a Ranked game the other day where I had two or three P/Ps for outs early in the game, including a wallscraper that was caught, and then the tie was eventually broken open in the late innings by my opponent who was just more consistent than me. My contact quality dropped off and I couldn't hit a thing later in the game, but early in the game the good contact I had all went for outs. My opponent struck out less and kept making contact, but it's possible that if my early good contacts had gone for hits, I might have opened up enough of a lead to make things interesting. Sometimes it just doesn't come off.
Sounds like in your example, your position players kept you in the game making great defensive plays. You drafted good position players, and it paid off.
Your opponent could have avoided walking your 8 batter, and maybe shouldn't have thrown the pitch to the 9 batter that you walloped. In a close game the tiniest details matter. Pitching is sort of a nightmare scenario anyway, because you can't really know what the batter might be looking for, pitch to pitch. I throw pitches to pretty decent spots sometimes that end up 450 feet away from where they started, and I'll never know how they were looking for that pitch in that particular spot. Sounds like you and your 9 batter got what you were looking for!

@cbpm72 I wasn't looking for nothing. I was waiting for the game to end. I did the equivalent of swinging with your eyes closed. I don't hit the ball hard. I opposite field bloop and duck snort my way to wins usually. I don't even know how I win half my games.

I don’t play BR but isn’t that against another human opponent? How does the programming force them to walk you?
-
@fubar2k7 This wasn't BR. And what I meant by forcing him to walk me is the game wouldn't let him throw strikes. Forced walks are a thing. Don't kid yourself.

Your first sentence is that you played a 5x flawless BR player so that implied you were in there or at the least playing another human being not playing the CPU. I didn’t say the CPU doesn’t throw all [censored] at times. I’ve never had the game force me to walk someone and I’ve played a lot more than you.

No it doesn't, that guy just has the 5x flawless banner, so they could have been playing ranked but against a 5x flawless player

I think you are trolling to start a narrative or that game really got to you. But baseball is baseball. Sounds to me you got lucky and the guy you faced had a bad game. Lol
-
If you really think H2H games are “pre-determined” or “programmed, start every inning on the mound by intentionally walking the bases loaded, and when hitting, do not swing the bat. Let us all know how that works out.

i was thinking the same - what a weird post
-
OP is possibly being a bit dramatic, but we’ve all experienced what he is talking about. The game does not play transparently. Input does not directly equal result. The game is a simulation, remember?
-
Some concerns on here are valid. I play on meter pithcing and ive definitely gotten more than a few "perfect pitches" that were set to be on a corner, but resulted in a meat pitch straight down the middle. It usually happen deep in a count with multiple runners on base.
Sucks when it happens, but it is what it is.

@Dookie-Possum
OK. LOL -
50% of the time, I lose every time.

Read and comprehend the entire first sentence. Focus on after the word or.

I asked him a question. You are gonna have a hard time in life kid. Don’t answer for him if you can’t take some criticism.

No crying in baseball! Success through mostly failure is so sweet
