Love it when you point out the zany AI animation in a game you won and the gate-keepers and fan-boyz really have nothing to say. No "get gud", "you suck", "you shoulda did this". I'll get back to that.

They just say ignorant things about my precious edibles. Ha. You wish your state had this legalized. The only way to get through an AI nonsense animation generated MLB the Ho-ho game anymore. I don't get as uptight. Just sit and laugh about the code failure and the mediocrity of some of the designers.

Anyway, getting back to the suggestion some of these clowns give out. You have to "turn the transparency up on the PCI", "start the PCI high", "wait for your pitch..hahahahaha".

Heck, a lot more to say but the edibles are keeping me from really tearing into some of you jokers.

One last thing to leave you with. The most important thing in this game is to get the best catcher. Then you'll win a lot more. The best catcher is Kendall. OK, you're welcome...now go practice and get gud you Show-gladiators you.

You are the hero the forum needs. I don’t have the time or energy to deal with the fanboys or trolls like you do. Keep up the good work. Maybe if we call SDS out on it enough they will let the game play how it’s supposed to be played. Or at least make a true competitive mode where only input matters. You want to play causal and have the all the ridiculous RNG...go for it...knock yourself out. But I’d rather lose by 15 to a man who lives in his moms basement, plays 24 hours a day, and has mastered the perfect perfects than to ever lose to the gimmicky “ball over the shoulder” error by a diamond fielder followed by the poor timing and poor pci placement walk off pump. I have no problem admitting defeat when someone is better than me. I just want the game to feel rewarding and for the outcomes to make sense. It would be an incredible game if they took the script off and that’s why it’s so frustrating.

Also, just for the heck of it, start recording your games. Play them back and watch the inconsistency. You'll see fast balls that you know are heading out of the zone just put on the brakes and stop. Balls that come right at you as fastballs and then take a physics defying left turn and end up a foot out of the zone. It's so much easier to analyze and see the animation blatantly controlling the game outcomes to the point it just cheats.

See, when you record the game...as opposed to just doing an in-game playback you get to see all of the elements that lead up to whatever outcome the game is scripted to present.

I've got so many video clips that would just send many customers running the other way or, at least, giving up any thought of getting better in a game that doesn't reward practice. It's a constantly shifting landscape with the goal-post bouncing around until it lands in the spot that favors the player the AI has decided will win that particular game.

But, again, it's the best option available so if you want to play console baseball you just have to suffer through.

No one can deny the animation and video isn't top-shelf. Just not realistic most of the time. Guess you can't have the best of both worlds.
