Grub Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Just trying to figure this one out. I edited the player stats so that the curveball goes at about 145 MPH, yet they still hit line drives to left and right. Players getting hits must be scripted. Like flipping a coin based on what kind of pitches the game knows how to use. Funny, the catcher can't catch 180mph fastballs, but the hitter sure as heck can hit texas leaguers and home runs. I know those kinds of pitches aren't supposed to be possible and therefore it makes sense that the game seems weird, but it tells you a lot about how the game handles pitching and hitting.

SwinginSoriano Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I would imagine that. The CPU isn't some person with a control pad, it pretty much choose when it hits and where it wants it hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grub Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Which makes it utterly by chance that you get ANY strikeouts beyond 18. hehe. I have to pump up the cpu swing amount to maximum to make it more human-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood70 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 A better question (or at least as good of a question) would be "how does a pitcher THROW a 145 MPH curveball? I think that this is a case of ridiculous begats ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grub Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 how can you make it that fast? Oh, you just open the right database files with wordpad and follow the rules given in the file. Really easy, actually. Just make backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, seeing as you should probably only get close to 18 Ks in a game once in a pitchers LIFETIME, seems pretty realistic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuUaAn Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Funny, the catcher can't catch 180mph fastballs, So what happens when you throw a 180mph fastball? Does it go to the backstop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grub Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 So what happens when you throw a 180mph fastball? Does it go to the backstop? Yeah. It's a wild pitch every time even if it's right on target. Runners ALWAYS advance. Same deal if it's a 25 mile per hour knuckler. It rolls on the ground all the way to the hitter and then it starts getting REALLY weird. Either the hitter smacks it off the ground for a home run or he misses it and the catcher can't grab it and the runners advance. OR Hitter "grounds out" and if your defense is set to automatic, your fielders just stand there looking at it and give the hitter an inside the park home run. Every great once in awhile the fielders actually wake up and grab it, which is why if you wanna be throwing the super slows it's a good idea to have manual defense on.

Unless your pitcher is an alien that throws heaters that could outpace Ferraris and Formula 1s. If your catcher's hand isn't annihilated by the speed, 20 Ks should be pretty gosh darn normal, dontcha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
