cpu throws wayyyyy too many balls on rookie
-
@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.
-
I'm in a miniseason game right now on rookie. The CPU is a veritable strike machine, with 10 total strikes to 18 balls. It feels like batting practice, lol.
Seriously though, guess what? NOT ONE STRIKE WAS MIDDLE-MIDDLE. Not a single one. On rookie.
Pitching on rookie is broken, people. If you've been "hypothesizing," stop. It's broken.
-
I did the Tony Gwinn moment to get in base 3 times by just taking pitches. 3 walks. This never happened in previous versions.

@CBrev47 Supercharged outfielders with 35 speed. gotta luv it

@BIG-DADDY-42 this comment is exactly why I'm leery of even getting into online play...seriously is this how it is?

that's not weird. you did a research and this was your outcome. Why SDS didn't notice or do this is the problem I have. I didn't pay to be a tester, I want a game that's ready to go.
-
I'm still wondering if they even have a QA team because this would have been noticable with like 5 minutes of gameplay if they tested anything in this game at all before release.
-
I know we are all assuming this is a bug, but it kinda fits how the gameplay has been going in previous years. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was by design at all.

I didn't pay to be a tester, I want a game that's ready to go.Lol thanks for that. I mean, it's a little weird bc I didn't see or hear of anyone else performing this test. I just wanted to see just how bad the cpu pitching is on the most played difficulties. It probably would have been worse if I didn't face Strider and the Braves during the test, lol.
The biggest and most hilarious result is I won 2 games by not swinging once. There's absolutely no way pitching is working as intended.
I'd love to see others perform the same 3 game no swinging test to see the results they get.
