MLB 15 The Show Livestream - Live Gameplay with Senior A.I. Programmer

[Factzzz]

Tyler Lyons with a terrible pitching motion.

They really need to get rid of those old pitching motions, or at least stop assigning them to players because no one pitches like that.

Hoz, I'll take it you'll be youtubing this later?

Bit of a groin kick that the AI will not challenge calls. For me that puts the feature in kind of the same boat as Balks. Ultimately I'd rather the game get the call right in the end for both teams. I realize that would require situational AI to be put in on when it would be most beneficial for the CPU team to challenge though, so as a first year effort I'm fine with that.

Hopefully we still have the option of turning the umpire missed calls off (basically a shortcut to the eventual outcome of a replay challenge)

Edit: Yes, I am well aware that 1B is the only challengeable call, and that either way this is not going to have a huge impact on the game (replays are rare enough in MLB as it is, and having only one category of them makes the impact even smaller).

I must have missed this.

I knew that all challenges were only going to be initiated automatically but I didn't know they would only happen for the human controlled teams and not the CPU teams (that is what you meant right).

Yeah Kirby mentioned it in the stream, that CPU won't challenge plays.

Yeah, about 3 or 4 people asked it in the twitch chat at the same time and they answered it. I'm pretty sure I didn't mishear it.

Dang.

Hit variety looks to be improved.
