cpu throws wayyyyy too many balls on rookie
-
I might be out too. And I might put in for a refund if they don't fix the Conquest sim flashbang. It is quite literally hurting my eyes.

Agreed, they can also fix the Yankees soud effect, i mean do we really need to be jolted awake each time we play them? (That air horn) I'm going to avoid playing against them as much as possible this year.

Pretty sure you can disable that in the settings menu.

It will make you a better hitter. Ive noticed people playing online the last year or so have much better eyes at the plate even with mediocre to bad ranked records.

Hadn't even thought of that, thank you for the suggestion.

Don’t play on rookie then, please don’t ruin other modes because some of you like to play on rookie and just mash hr’s and then brag you are undefeated
What the hell are you ranting about?
Nobody here is flexing about being undefeated on rookie. Pitching is broken on rookie and veteran, period.
People are trying to grind stat missions, not win games and flex. And SDS has made that frustrating to do by making pitchers throw 70-80% balls. Nobody playing on rookie to grind stat missions is trying to "work a count."
And fixing this won't "ruin" other game modes.
What a ridiculous reaction.
This. I loaded up my squad with 2nd baseman, as I still needed 5 hits, so I could get the last 5pts for the Spring Breakout Program.
After the cpu loaded the bases, with my first 4 batters, on ALL balls, and the proceeded to hot my next two batters; I just shut the game off.

Lol, NO IT WON'T. Nobody here is talking about PvP. You don't get better at PvP on All Star/HoF by "working counts" AGAINST CPU PITCHERS ON ROOKIE.
Jeeeeeeeeeeesus....

@SuntLacrimae50 I know they’ve said they are manipulating pace but it doesn’t make it less punishing just because they’ve mentioned it. I also know one of the guys in the stream said that they may increase xp gains (up or down), but the problem is that they are doing other things to manipulate the pace too that they aren’t talking about. SDS is so slow in acknowledging obvious problems now. They weren’t always like that. It has definitely gotten worse since they went to Game Pass. Little by little they are becoming EA and 2K. So sad to even think that. Now that they have non-developers handling things like the scripts for the launch streams, it makes the development look they they don’t even want to be part of it or discuss it.

I know, I'm not defending them, just saying that the "conspiracy theory" that this is intentional and NOT a bug actually makes sense from this point of view. God, I hope not, but we'll see. They have to address this one way or another.

Wish i could upload the screenshot....
Just finished a 3 inning Conquest game on rookie. CPU threw 41 pitches. 28 were balls.

I have literally dozens of screenshots of the stat screen -- not exaggerating -- of 3-0 counts. In many of those the pitches are nowhere even near the black. It's gross. It needs to be addressed ASAP.
-
haha, i just did a conquest game where i loaded it up and went to make some food. came back i had 2 runs bases loaded and 2 outs.
-
The notion that this is intentional for what ever reason is ridiculously absurd.
It's an obvious bug. No developer is going to put in a bug like this that makes them look incompetent for whatever tin foil hat reason people are speculating.
-
I play my conquest games on allstar, hoping it will help fix pitching control. For the most part, it is better than rookie and veteran. However, today the pitcher walked my first 3 batters on 13 pitches. Then Sexson hits a slam on the 1st pitch down the middle, lol.
Every release is late or very late. There's no way this is working as intended.
-
@MetalDoc17 said in cpu throws wayyyyy too many balls on rookie:
@Dankmaymays I kinda think it’s working as they intended at the start of the season. They seem to have done everything possible to slow down the grind early in the cycle this year. If XP gains for CPU games (etc) aren’t increased soon, I’m gonna be OUT early and unfortunately I’ve already paid good money on the game for digital deluxe and quite a few stubs.
Maybe. Would be logical.
-
So, a few things… either helpful or not.
-
I actually had a CPU pitcher throw a “perfect” pitch earlier today. It was still 3 feet off the plate though… so…
-
For those that say playing on higher levels decreases the noticablity of the issue, you’re right… but… let me put it this way: I played three 9-inning legend CPU games today and still got walked 14 times. It would have been more, but I’m so bad at the game, I still swing at obvious balls
-
Finally, there is no way this is intentional. If it was intentional, the code likely would have changed the dynamics of the different pitch release types, not just changed the release types all to “very late”. At least, I assume that’s how they would have done it as opposed to making it extremely obvious that they jacked the system.
-
-
I also had a lone perfect pitch (way off the plate). Weird. so 99.99%% very late and .01% "perfect"
-
Something definitely is broken. Every single CPU pitch timing is “Very Late” no matter what. Same if you use classic pitching style, every pitch is also “Very Late”. But I do wonder if it could be a visual glitch.
-
Another night, another two dozen or so screenshots of at-bats starting 3-0 ON ROOKIE/VETERAN. In Conquest and in Miniseasons.
FIX THIS SDS.
-
@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
