LOVE those streams! So good entertainment. Game looks gorgeous.

The level of transparency is amazing. It's nice to hear them talk about what they've worked on or tried to make better. Like the decision branches for animations, how they keep adding to them to make everything flow more smoothly. That's why the game looks more crisp than last year. I think a lot of people don't realize that a lot of effort goes into that kind of stuff when they complain about missing items like uniforms or retractable roofs (which have no effect on gameplay). So much goes on under the hood that they have been showing us that it's unfair when people say it's basically the same game and they didn't do much.

Back on topic, loving the streams, loving the detail that the devs are going into as to what they are working on, how they accomplish certain elements, etc. Both this stream and the character design stream were great!

Garcia at 78 was ranked higher than Lackey's 75

This could be really simple. Put a randomizer in its decision making. The game knows when to trigger the event. When it's on the CPU side you randomize whether they challenge the call.

Unless they haven't coded in bad calls purposefully for the CPU side. Then it's more work than I'm describing.

You sound like you've coded before... srand()

May I ask you a question? Are you into sim play or arcade play? If you're into arcade play you're on the right track.

Game's looking great! Day one purchase for me.

A little of a nitpick but the bat flip after a swing and strike/foul tip is a bit annoying. Seeing it too many times in the game. I hope they tone this down in future iterations of the game.
