CPU Pitching is Horrific
-
I don't know if I'm in the same boat as far as the content goes, I will say something similar: I would wager anything the CPU reads where your PCI is most of the time.
** I will also swear that, on occasion, if the CPU calculates you've got your PCI correctly positioned, the type of pitch will change on the way in. Breaking balls "jump up" from the pitchers hand and they're extremely easy to pick up, and I have seen it do this only to blow by me at 101 as a FB.**
This "redirecting pitch" conspiracy is very apparent when bunting.

Pretty sure this was done to curb bunt cheesing diamond quest.

Problem is even on GOAT the CPU does the same erratic bs. Super dotting, plunking guys, wild pitches, and full counts on almost every hitter.

I'll be honest, when I first read your reply I thought you were mocking me.

Glad I found this. For months now CPU pitching has been infuriating me. I do have a few conspiracies of my own though.
I am almost certain while, you will win most games against the CPU, you will not get anywhere close to the things you want to achieve (K's, HRs, PXP etc ...) than you would have gotten in games gone by.
I started noticing it when I was focusing on team affinity. Obviously the season standout challenges are insane and in most cases you need 300+ Ks with a specific team and if you go into either mini seasons or conquest, you'll notice they foul of pitch after pitch until eventually they'll get a grounder or a fly ball. We all know getting K's against the CPU should be pretty easy but this year is different, absolutely no doubt.
The CPU pitching is just horrendous. Common and bronze pitchers with absolutely no control throw [censored] after [censored] then dot dot dot, obviously you get hits but again like above, its completely unreaslitic in a game that we reguarly hear people state "well thats baseball". Even in the moonshot mini seasons where hitting homers is kinda the aim, the common pitchers throw very little.
It all comes down to SDS making this game very grindy - a lot LOT more than before and again, look at mini season objectives. I dont have them to hand but ridiculous amounts of Ks, PXP and HRs.
I can't help but think they are pandering to the few and making the game gradually more unenjoyable for the whales and streamers out there.

The moment pitching against me is some of the worst I ever seen
-
The part that has really started annoying me with it is when I'm patient and just wait out the junk pitches only to get a great pitch that ends up as a low exit velocity flyout or perfect-perfect right at a fielder.

@nymets1987_PSN yeah last night I was doing the Payton tolle to Austin Wells moment and wondering what the hell is this [censored]. I actually just force myself to snigger at it now rather get angry although that doesn't always work.

I struggled with Riley versus Duran he either threw 102 high or splitter low

26 times for Bryce to hit the Homer.
