Another DDA (comeback logic) post
-
Not to stir the pot again, but, I’ve noticed there seems to be a pretty black and white response to this idea presented by OP.
Obviously, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I think the truth of the matter lies somewhere in the grey between “it’s a crutch because your generation never learned to take a loss” and “the game is rigged”.

@halfbutt DDA is sort of like ghosts or UFO's. There is no real proof they exist, but people explain things they don't understand by saying it was a ghost or a UFO for example. As you noted with DDA, people either believe in them or they don't, it's black or white. Reason being is that there really is no gray area. They either really do exist, or they don't exist. In the case of DDA, people can't understand or comprehend why they lost, so they attribute it to DDA. It's just easier to associate the loss to something external, such as DDA, than try to rationalize the real reason they lost or why a play didn't go as they expected. Similar to seeing something you don't understand in the sky and saying it's a UFO or hearing creaking in your house and saying it's a ghost. If you really investigated these situations, the true explanation would be revealed.
I completely agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I have changed my opinion many times over the years based on scientific proof. Should any empirical evidence every come up where they find DDA code in an online Sports game, then my opinion would change.
-
I mean, purely for the sake of argument, there is no real proof there isn’t DDA in the game’s coding either.
If you look at the subject from a business point of view, it’s highly likely there is such coding in just about every video game. The producers would be crazy not to include it.
That said, whatever helps people to enjoy the game the most is great with me.

@halfbutt I am a true believer in innocent until proven guilty. I know that isn't how things work today with cancel culture, but call me old school. The burden of proof would be on the naysayers to show there is DDA in this and other online Sports games. EA has already proven this by having their case dropped after the plaintiff was shown proof it didn't exist. It wasn't settled out of court, the case was completely dropped. Should SDS be sued over a similar claim, we will find out the truth. Withstanding a court decision, my opinion stands.

Well I just played an event game where my opponent was so weak I struck out the first 8 batters, and he was never even close to a threat during these at bats then right on cue, batter number 9 hits a walk off home run.
This game is more scripted than a WWE match.

Sorry man. I’ve been there!
Let me guess, you had a half dozen perfect swings but couldn’t score? -
@halfbutt No, I had a couple of hits in the first, runners on second and third and a good/good popup. After that I just didn't do much. I think my frustration in the first partially affected my concentration.
-
I think if you don’t score in the first couple innings, the opponent’s pitcher confidence can be hard to overcome even with good swings.
-
Confidence is way too overpowered in the game. That and stamina need to be completely reworked.
-
@TripleH-4481
Agree on confidence for sure. I still can’t say I even understand how stamina works, especially as regards relievers. -
I read this in an imagined cartoon Disney movie parody/ the view mix. Thank you for that.
