Rubberband AI doesn't really work in a PVP environment.
Why wouldn't it?
Mainly because every player would feel it and almost every game would have comebacks and late rallies to make it close. Rubberbanding is almost always obvious, and usually built for vs CPU play. Even Mario Kart doesn't rubberband with PVP

Well, in Mario Kart people who have fallen behind get blue shells and bullets and stars. While the people in the front get green shells and bananas. Mario Kart attempts to give the people in the back an opportunity to close the gap. Sometimes two late jammed hits then a three run jack off a hanging change up sure does feel like a blue shell.

Make that a hanging changeup on a good/good input aimed at the batter's toes.

In Mario kart, drops aren't determined by standings, but distance. And in Mario Kart, the ai will factually get a speed boost and better handling, but players never get that

Is it possible that timing windows and contact areas could fluctuate?

I think the fluctuation of timing windows is playing into a lot of the unpredictable/unrewarding results that many of us complain about. I mean, varying time windows from pitch to pitch, from pitcher to pitcher, difficulty to difficulty, batter to batter...
There is a lot of math going on to determine every result. It’s no wonder things are so inconsistent.

That is pretty much what I heard. But carry on. I would like a complete read out from all your games.
Here is something I have noticed. If you throw a mid to low confidence pitch in the zone...bad things happen. If you throw a high confidence pitch. Even one that they should not be fooled on...better things happen
But this isn't what I'm talking about. When the game starts the confidence of all pitches is neutral. You dont start with poor confidence. Also, how am I supposed to lower the pitch confidence of the opposing pitcher other than by creating perfect contact? What if his pitches don't hang even with low confidence?
I will have to get a larger sample-size, but for now everything seems to indicate that 15s land as basehits at a larger clip vs seemingly better players (I'm not yet sure whether it would be the player's ranking, record or whatnot that would determine "better" though if this was indeed the case). Perhaps you would get the "fairest" form of gameplay in a matchup between two identically ranked guys with identical records.
I have a question for you. If everything else is controlled for, does the player who hits 15 x 15/N deserve to win over the player who hits 3 x 15/N?
-
I have never looked at confidence at first pitch. But I can tell you that early on confidence changes definitely within the first inning. It changes by lack of use and result. I tend to think they don’t start even because FB confidence always seems higher.
-
You can lower confidence by hitting the pitch. Or by taking the pitch for a ball. I actually think the perceived sense of comeback logic is a function of players not properly manipulating confidence. If raise the pitch count it means you are throwing relatively more balls, this confidence goes down.

“Deserve” is an Interesting term. Irl Does the player who practices more and eats healthy deserve to play better. Yes. does that mean that it ends up that way. NO!!! There are other factors involved including strength of comp, style of comp, timing, latent skill, luck etc. that have a greater impact on results.
Let me get this right...
Instead of user input, latent skill (which means what, hidden skill? what is that?) and luck should have a greater influence on batting outcomes than actual inputs?
Strength of comp? What does that mean? My results on a good/squared should vary based on how good my opponent is?
Style of comp? What does this mean? How exactly would the playing style of my opponent influence the outcome of a good/squared ball?
Timing is already included in my analysis when I refer to 15/N -> The N indicates that the ball was batted at the best possible timing-window.
Interesting takes to say the least.
Another strawman argument. I never said at all about what “should” be the case.
Latent skill - look it up
Style - to simplify the concept. Let’s call it user tendencies. If I only swing at low pitches or steal like crazy or use the shift those things impact the game.Please stop derailing the thread with personal attacks. Just not cool. Plus it undercuts whatever point you are trying to make

I googled latent skill and found nothing. Latent generally means hidden. As I didn't understand, I asked for a clarification.
Why would your tendencies influence the outcome of a 15/N? I'm gonna avoid reading into this to avoid straw manning you. What do you mean?
Also, kindly point to any personal remarks made by me in this thread. The only one I can identify is you calling the OP laughable.

Latent can also mean internal or being there without being placed. In this context it means innate or natural ability.
Why would tendencies impact outcomes. You do realize you are playing against another person and the outcome is contingent upon the interaction between your input and their. Part of your input is dictated by what your opponent has done prior. In sports we call it training your opponent. However, during the training process an opponent may realize you are training and may go along. In a super simplistic level throw 2 high FB you trained me for a third FB. You throw a curve and I am screwed unless I know you are training then i expect said curve. This mental chess supersedes the physical game in most sports when played at high levels. This is also known as Yomi layers.
I did point it out. Go back and look.

Not a bad guess. Philosophy was one of my minors. I truly think that philosophy should be mandatory. Understanding the meta underlying assumptions or in the reverse understanding the the implications resulting from assumptions is important.
I also got paid to write papers in college. $10 a page for A, $8 a page for a B or higher. B- or lower was free. You had to give me the syllabus and the necessary reading. Anyway led to a lot of
and the ability to be abstract and drill up or down. I guess I can admit to it because I am anonymous and because it’s to long gone to be able to prove it. -
