cpu throws wayyyyy too many balls on rookie
-
Yeah this needs patched pronto. Going to entire games without a single pitch over the plate. That cannot be intentional design.
-
Something not mentioned as much -- there are almost no center-cut meatballs on Rookie, which is hilarious. On easier difficulty you should get at least a few an inning. Not only does the CPU throw 75-80% balls, the strikes are usually on the outside of the zone.

What he just said!!
-
Was not aware of how many good players grind on Rookie. I have not done any grinding for PXP yet (I kind of hate that) but on Conquest I always choose veteran. I can still see the issue on that difficulty but it does not bother me much, if at all.
-
We are aware that the CPU is throwing too many balls in Diamond Dynasty and are currently investigating the issue.
-
I happen to like the change. Walks are part of the game and they have been basically nonexistent in previous versions of the game. Learn some patience.

JESUS GOD THANK YOU.
Communication from SDS confirming that you're aware of it and are working on it -- all we ask for (if we can't get a game that works on release, that is...).

Funny enough, I kinda do too. Maybe not this much but it’s definitely helping me to sit back and not swing at everything.

What a joke. "Walks are part of the game" is not the same as 75% of at-bats starting 3-0. Do you not understand that? Is it difficult to see that distinction?
Learn the difference between more realistic and broken.
What you're saying is tantamount to, "I like that the game is now a training module teaching you not to swing."
-
Remember a few years ago when you actually needed to get some walks when grinding towards certain player missions? It was nearly impossible against the CPU. It’s not fun in offline grinding now when you are trying to accumulate other offensive stats.
-
So glad i'm not the one with this problem. I can not stand it. It's ball after ball then a strike like after 100 pitches thrown. Just throw me strikes.Xoxo
-
@SuntLacrimae50 I have not experienced 75% of ab on rookie starting 3-0. If that were the case, I agree that it’s a problem. I just haven’t seen that, or anything close to it. I think the rate should mimic real baseball.
-
It’s a good thing this is getting looked into. I maybe walked 10 times all of last year, I hated missions that included walks because I sucked at them.
This year I just counted. 43 walks and I0 HBP. And these numbers are still going to be far less than other players because I still swing at some junk and would have more walks
-
One of the things I hate the most about it is how much it slows the games down. This afternoon it took me about 45-50 minutes to play a CPU game that I only won 15-0 (or so). So many 3 ball counts. A lot of times I would swing at pitches way out of the zone just to extend an at bat to possibly get offensive stats with TA players.
-
I actually won a tony gwinn moment to get on base 3 times by taking 3 walks. Ridiculous.
-
I really can’t believe people thought this was some sort of feature and not a bug. That’s wild to me.
-
Don't forget that if you use classic pitching you still are very late on release Everytime. Forced me to use pulse pitching

It will make you a better hitter. Ive noticed people playing online the last year or so have much better eyes at the plate even with mediocre to bad ranked records.
don't get better at PvP on All Star/HoF by "working counts" AGAINST CPU PITCHERS ON ROOKIE.
this is actually a very good point……the cpu will eventually throw a strike which is nothing like online
teehee
-
Oddly enough, I will sort of miss this when its fixed. I play on All Star and the current bug feels more realistic weirdly than in the past, minus the absurdly wild pitches and beanballs. I wish there was sort of a halfway inbetween between last year and this bug for the higher difficulties.
Rookie, however, should be almost all pitches over the plate
-
@CBrev47
2 additional things to look at:
-
On time timing! Too many balls going foul that are timed up in the green and in the strike zone. If you are on time on a pitch in the strike zone, it should never go foul, otherwise you would not be on time!
-
Can we tone down the superman fielding for offline play please! This was a consistent issue last year as well. Way too many bad/average fielding players making superman like plays, consistently. I get at least 3 to 4 per game and only 1 maybe 2 are from players who could potentially pull it off. The others are just super unrealistic. Additionally, I have had players missing routine ground balls that they are camped in front off way too often.
