    This game has a huge issue with blowing leads and its happened at least 8 out of 10 games played HS or college. Latest is just ridiculous to the point where I am just going to uninstall the game. Up 10-1 in the 8th inning after holding Florida to 1 run on 8 Ks. Flip to the 9th when I come up to at-bat and its 10-11, Florida is now winning. This constantly happens and its just unplayable to gain some type of achievement at this point. Had another game when it was 11-3, only for CPU to blow a lead and lose 15-11.

    Fix your game.

    Do you use check the game logs? Were the runs just magically gifted in between innings like for example: 2-1 lead, 2 outs, batter strikes out, but the very next half inning, it’s somehow 4-2.

    Hard to argue. The game code seems really off. It makes unrealistic plays normal and safe leads suspect. Yeah, it's baseball and of course people can point to isolated examples of the epic comeback, but that doesn't [censored] well mean that it's a norm.

    My explanation for it happening? The marketing types want excitement; they want drama. So, how do you do that in a baseball game? Well, you have centerfielders make miraculous throws of nearly 300 feet distance from the wall to nail the hitter digging for a routine standup double. You have teams blow nine run leads with one to two innings left in the game.

    It isn't real baseball. It's arcade junk! And I know some out there think I'm just motivated by my beef with SDS over Stadium Creator, but I can think objectively. This criticism is independent of what has been done to SC. This is the same junk where even in MLB 21-25, my RTTS team would sign free agents with a track record of hitting .300 with 30-40 homers and slot them batting fourth behind my avatar player, and suddenly the dude simply cannot advance me on the basepaths and his overall average is .220 and his BA with RISP is .120!

    Nothing but total warping of baseball reality to heighten drama.

    This has been an issue for years. It gets worse with each release, this year it’s so bad that when it happens I exit without saving and replay the game.
