Why wouldn't the CPU have been affected by having close plays on in 14?

Not 100% sure on those though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No doubt it is improved... It looks amazing.

I just recall seeing clouds moving and shadows shifting in previous iterations (not sure if they removed that from PS4 last year). I'm going to go boot up and see for myself!

Maybe I was seeing things

Again, this is my point. I felt last year the CPU was screwed with bad calls just as much as the user. This year doesn't seem to be the case because, as Woodweaver clearly stated, the AI doesn't make wrong calls for the CPU, only for the user, which is why the Challenges system is implemented only for the user. How exactly is this fair or realistic at all?

This made me think, are we going to see the clocks in the stadiums change time in real time too? Forever its been only after an at bat and an inning did the clocks and sky change.

the diving does not look fixed. the game looks great. the menus remind me of 13. it looks like they just alternate between themes while incorporating new features.

I appreciate the explanations for missing aspects of the game.

I just don't see a big deal in it personally. The only fielding calls that are different between the user and computer are the calls at first base, and this doesn't happen very often but watching all of the streams and it has only happened once. When it does happen you can challenge it. Everything else, the game doesn't know if you are a user or the computer.

I complained about the challenge system as have several others, it seems alot of the responses are rude and trying to make me and other people on here to be completely oblivious to facts, and the fact is the challenge system is broke, i like posting in these threads but its a huge turn off when OS elites attack just because they dont like someone's opinion, even though that opinion is fact, to anyone reading this that doesn't think the challenge system is broken.... prove its not completely broken, i have heard nothing but bandaid solutions to the problem, i hate to compare, but if a football game in 2k5 can have correct challenges then 10 years later it should be implemented in the show, i cant make video games but i know when something is broken. Thanks

Not to be a jerk, but the game hasn't yet come out, you haven't played it yet, you haven't seen first hand how the challenge system works. Therefore you CAN NOT say it is broke, much less say it is FACT that it is broke. And if you think you can, that's just ignorance. (I'll admit, I am human and I will occasionally throw outlandish, unsubstantiated thoughts out there, but I can't allow myself or someone else to make judgement on something they've never experienced).
