You've lost your mind. Especially this line, "the cpu won't make illogical baseball decisions as a human would"
This is exactly why I don't like playing the CPU. They have zero baseball IQ.
Example: 2 outs. Guy with 53 speed on 1st base. The CPU pitcher will throw over to 1st base three times in a row thinking I'm stealing. Note that I haven't even lead off at all.
I watched Corbin throw 5 straight sliders to me in the Showdown I lost. Last I knew throwing the same pitch over and over makes that pitch worse in this game.
It's not a secret that Showdowns will screw you in a heartbeat.
In all fairness you also have to look at the runners steal and baserunning aggression not just speed. Look at 2023 All Star Kyle Tucker for example, 58 speed, 82 steal and 92 baserunning aggression.
The CPU won’t try and go 2nd to home on a 4-3 grounder resulting in an easy double play which several humans tried on me when I played online.
