JP_Frost Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 - User diving headfirst into the wall instead of jumping straight up (happens on infield line drives as well) - Off speed pitches during home run derby (which is why I play the derby on pro instead of all star) - Stat scoring errors. I've had quite a few doubles and triples taken away from me because the fielder missed a catch off the wall, which would've been a double anyway. that's it basically, aside from the lack of k's I'm satisfied. I like the moving 4 seamers. It's part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 the moving cutters and 2 seamers are okay with me. the moving 4 seamers annoy me because it's unrealistic how it makes a comple 90 degree turn just before it crosses the plate. and yeah, you gotta love those head dives right into the wall. talk about spinal cord injury!

compmaniac Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 So frequently, my checked swings turn into high pop-ups... it's so frustrating, and there's nothing I can do about it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hitting an infield the park homerun, and then the other team being charged with an error. Every frigging time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Also not changing to a 40 man roster in September. Why have a minor league system? The fact that, for the last 2 years, my blood pressure is higher than normal. Cosigned on both. I also don't like how when you continuously hit batters and all your pitchers except for one get ejected, the last one must finish the game. He can't be tossed from the game no matter how many batters he hits. A minor dislike is that you can't use pitchers as pinch runners and hitters as pitchers. A big problem I find is that quite often when I try to throw a runner out at the plate the catcher will catch the ball and then lift his glove up before dropping it to make the tag. If he would just catch the ball and make the tag, my life would be so much better and I probably would still have my first gamepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 -When you throw at a batter two or three times and he is able to get out of the way, he will then get injured sliding into second What??? What do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash #25 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Most of the above, although sliders can fix a few of those things. Runners being routinely thrown out at home, like several times per game. I'm still working on those sliders and it's been over three years now. The CPU manager being so dumb that I end up managing the game for both teams. "Your pitcher is at 18%. Take him OUT!" CPU mysteriously "optimizes" rosters on secret dates and it's not till much later you find things like Jim Thome playing first and Paul Konerko sitting on the bench while some clown DHs.

carter Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 That reminds me, it's 2010 in my dynasty and I just found Jason Giambi playing and Johnny Damon playing in AA. Sure their ratings have dropped, but I don't believe that it's realisic to have either player playing in AA. They would probably retire before accepting that reassignment.

Roscosuper Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 What??? What do you mean? It's only happened during dynasty mode, and only a few times, but if I was trying to intentionaly hit a batter and he was dodging the ball, he would always mangage to get on base and find a way to get injured. He would usually get on by BB because I kept trying to beam him and couldn't. (and I mean the intentional hit button) This just adds to my theory of partially scripted gameplay.

superciuc Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 How much the CPU is fast? When they hit in the outfield hole they always get a triple And my runners?Even my grandma is faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conception Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 In order to address the ability of fielders to make spectacular catches all the time, I seriously lowered their fielding abilities in my sliders. It results in more realistic gameplay, although it also means mroe hits for both sides. They still make inhuman plays, but much less often.

HardcoreLegend Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 -When I control a baserunner and they a)don't break for the steal when I tell them to or b)don't run to the base I tell them to (instead of going 1st to third, go half way between 2nd and 3rd and turn around to come back. -Not being able to hit looping curveballs that I perfectly time up but they happen to be 2 inches inside off the plate. -The CPU deciding this is 'their inning' and the first 3 batters jump on the first 3 pitches I throw all hit right back up the middle out of the pitchers reach. -The 'lunge' towards first base on infield hits. Lou Brock would be batting .492 this year if not for this. -Outfielders making backhanded, over the shoulder catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and again they still try to fly through the air, but they usually drop the ball, which is what you'd expect to see. You can clean up the doubleplay by adjusting baserunner speed vs infielder speed. Slow down the runner and speed up the guy making the pivot at second.

DodgerBlue08 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 So frequently, my checked swings turn into high pop-ups... it's so frustrating, and there's nothing I can do about it, Yes! And its always on pitches that are like 3 feet out of the zone! If I were to take a full swing at those pitches, id miss miserably. Yet magically when I go to check my swing, he reaches 3 feet outside to pop the ball up. Whey cant I hit those pitches with a full hack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Just found another one: Balls thrown away. If a ball is thrown away at first, third or home, no one goes to back it up. I just threw a pickoff away in the bottom of the 10th at first base. The runner dove back into the bag and the ball hit the sidewall and stopped. No one ran to pick the ball up, eventually Cepeda did but by then the runner scored all the way from diving back into first. I mean, come on, let's be real. No one can score from first on a ball thrown away on a pickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeexDev Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I hate when I am playing online in my leagues and a ball is hit and the fielder doesn't move until its too late to get the ball. So annoying that there is a delay in the fielding in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash #25 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 You know, when I read these all together, I wonder if this game is as good as we think it is. It's been said before, but I'll say it again: if you put High Heat's game engine with MVP's graphics, you'd have a GAME, brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFeathers Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Its funny how i love this game so greatly, but so many things annoy me, but its only sometimes. Most of the time i love to play this game in spite of these errors. You guys hit most of the things that anger me except - the batting game, on MVP is impossible, with the pitcher throwing evyer possible pitch. How can i hit a knuckleball after seeing a 96 mph fastball. I have never made it past the third level, and that was only by luck (tractors). -how some guys have cold zones in the center of the strike zone -how the CPU is so stupid in trades and lineups, todd helton should not lead off. -Tim Wakefield -Manny Ramirez, i cant get him out -astoturf and the ball boucning over the outfielder and then being called an error -CPU fielding awesomeness -Japanese pitching windups but most of all -when my parents tell me to go do something when im in the middle of making a comeback with two outs in the bottom of the 9th innining. Its as if they know when im making a comeback and need something at that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 the knuckleball is really hard too hit from pitchers like Steve Sparks or Tim Wakefield... I guess if your a patient hitter its different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulegm Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 One thing that annoys me, but it is probably no big deal to anybody else, is how the catcher doesn't throw the ball back to the pitcher after the pitch. The pitcher just suddenly has a new ball in his glove. I hate that! I liked how this feature was in the MLB games on the PS1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
