AI Will Take Strikes

[SFGiantsPBA]

When I pitch with the demo and pitch correct I do get batters taking K's as a matter of fact I got 1 batter out so far on 3 looking K's.

Who I think Pitching works is you let it feel uo the circle but try to stop it from closing as fast as possible.

When I tried to pitch with the circle closing at it's smallest point like in MLB 2K7 I was getting shelled for like 13 plus runs.

Now I do it the other way and I see circle within with the circle and when I see this I make my best pitches.

If I'm wrong shoot my but I'm getting AI Takes on Balls and Strikes.

I didn't want this in the demo impression thread because this is a AI Take thread and one of the most major concerns of the game at this point and it needs it's own thread but must stay on the topic that it's created about.

Keep it on topic please as the rest of the stuff goes in the Demo impressions thread!

it definately has to do with how you are pitching. ive noticed it as well. i cant figure out if im supposed to let the circle close and hold up for the strike on a fastball for example or not though.....

Sorry I meant the topic was only on AI Take Strikes and nothing else.

I just don't want this thread put into the demo thread just to get lost as this is a major concern of the game right now.

Exactly, I'm seeing the same thing. As far as the circle is concerned it seems like you have to let the circle get completely filled on the first motion and then go into the second motion. Not sure if that's totally right, but I struck out the CPU with pitches not far from the middle of the box.

I agree SF, as long as I work the count and throw smart pitches, I see the AI taking enough pitches to make me happy. If I just want to chuck crap up there, than they swing at almost anything.

For one instance, I saw Ryan howard stand there and grimmace after he watched a floating change up just hit low and outside to catch the corner for a third strike. I love it because I had to work for it, and outhink the AI with my pitching.

Now hearing the Demo is set to Pro I can believe AI will even take more k's at higher levels of play!

Why would the AI take *more* strikes on a higher difficulty level? If anything they will make better contact at a higher level and will take less strikes.

It's going to come down not to a difficulty level, but what the sliders actually do and if the AI can be adjusted to take more strikes. I think judgement on this will have to be reserved until the full game is released.
