cpu throws wayyyyy too many balls on rookie
-
@MetalDoc17
The game has been moving in this direction for a few years now, imo. It has finally reached a point where a larger percentage of the player population is reacting negatively to it.This may very well have been the point? What is the most balls the cpu can throw before the player base will not accept…
So is it a bug? Maybe.
-
@halfbutt I’ve only played on rookie, veteran and all star, but I haven’t experienced that on any level. There is an increase in balls, but that claim was extremely hyperbolic.

@MetalDoc17
Good point... about them not wanting the player base to progress too fast. After playing a few games of Mini Seasons, it definately seems that way. While I like the general direction of that, they did go a bit too far with the lesser amout of quality pitches to hit...especially on Rookie. -
"Lesser amount of quality pitches to hit"? Is that a joke?
3/4 of at-bats start 3-0. This is not an exaggeration. I have taken screenshots to reassure myself that I'm not exaggerating. Yesterday in miniseasons the first 13 pitches were 11 balls and 2 strikes.
This is [censored] unplayable.

@SuntLacrimae50 I ran a test yesterday and didn’t experience anything close to this, so frankly I don’t believe you.
-
@GoozeFn
What was that test? Because most players are experiencing the terrible cpu pitching on that same level while you are flipping equipment. Just saying you seem to be defending the game pretty hard other than not being able to make bank on flips. And before you say it I’m also married with a kid, work full time, and hit the gym every morning at 4am, so yes I touch grass and am just as busy as you are.

@GoozeFn
How long have you been playing the show, sir?I go back to at least 14. I can say that, from my experience, I am not exaggerating.
-
Has anyone seen an intentional walk by the computer? It feels like the CPU at times is throwing four pitches to intentional walk instead of just putting the batter on base. Not Everytime, but often enough.
-
@TripleH-4481 Just a simple test playing a few games on rookie in mini seasons. At no point in 3 games did I have consecutive batters get a 3-0 count. I’ve been pretty critical of the game actually. I just don’t mind actually being able to work a walk for once.
-
Folks can argue if it's a bug or not, but please note SDS already posted in this thread: We are aware that the CPU is throwing too many balls in Diamond Dynasty and are currently investigating the issue.
-
@halfbutt I’m not exactly sure. Maybe since the beginning.
-
I am getting plenty of walks for sure, but I also agree that multiple batters in a row starting 3-0 is not something I’m experiencing. I’m also willing to hypothesize it’s pure luck when the pitcher hits the strike zone…. But they generally do within the first few pitches at least every few batters.
-
@TripleH-4481 every once in a while, it happens multiple times every game

@JDHalfrack As someone who has finished very conquest available, If I took a screenshot of every CPU pitcher placement on rookie, it would look like 80% of balls are WAY outside the zone, where the rest in the zone are nearer to the outside walls.
On Rookie last year, its like 70% meatballs, 20% corner dots, and 10% outside the zone.
Whatevers happening is more noticeable when youve played a ton on the rookie/vet level.
-
what's funny about this is the fact that every toxic player online just throws nothing but balls in the dirt so it's basically the same way the game plays online lol
-
That is exactly why I don't play ranked games online, I want to actually have fun playing it

This is my experience too. Well described.

@Shauwn Yeah I tried various difficulties, it's pretty much the same across the board. I think that the CPU has walked Judge like 75-80% of the time for me. I rarely see a strike with him
I literally tested this like a weirdo. I played 3 innings on Rookie, Veteran, and Allstar. I did not swing at a single pitch on all 3 games, just to see how many times I'd walk. Here are the hilarious results.
Rookie = 9 walks and 2 runs. I won 2-0 WITHOUT SWINGING ONCE!
Veteran = 7 Walks and 1 run. I won 1-0....
Allstar = 3 walks and 0 runs. I played normally in the 4th innings and won 3-0.Of course I played against Strider and the Braves. But allstar is a little better.
-
@Shauwn how many started as 3-0 counts?

I didn't check. Each time I was hitting, I went back to the kitchen to stir food or went to smoke a cig, lol.
But by playing actual games, I did get quite a few 3-0 counts and 4 pitch walks.
