I've stolen bases without the pitcher ever throwing over. I've also had the computer throw over just when leading off.

Not my experience at all. I'm currently leading the league in steals with two players. My stealing percentage is sitting right around 65/70%.

I haven't had this problem but I can understand how frustrating it would be

The cheese on every mode above Veteran is absolutely ridiculous.

The AI can't hit you all game, you mix up pitches, you take pitchers out that are even remotely tired but they're down? Time for 3 straight homers on 3 straight pitches that were on the edges.

I'm not saying that it's hard to steal, I'm just saying that the only time the CPU ever steps off the mound or attempts a pickoff is when Ive pressed the steal button. Oh, and this doesn't apply to RTTS. If my player is on base in RTTS I see pickoff attempts all the time when no runners are moving.

I play HOF and this simply isn't true at all.
Harder yes.. Cheese? Most overused word at OS just under "Broken"

I play on All Star and I don't see things I would call "cheese".

I swear, I think more ppl should video tape full games, or at least the end of their games, so we could analyze them.

Then, we could verify the supposed CPU cheating or give constructive feedback on how the CPU comeback could have been avoided.

Lastly, we should understand that comebacks do happen. Even elite closers give games away from time to time. And, while upsetting to the gamer, it is possible for a Punch and Judy hitter to get a hold of one when we think he shouldn't have.

I'm not making light of peoples misfortunes late in games, but I personally love how hard it is to hold a lead. Watch Baseball Tonight or the MLB network highlights and you'll see virtually the exact same things happening every day in major league ballparks across America.

I've played about 40 or 50 full games and I haven't seen 3 HR's on 3 straight pitches yet. Not that it didn't happen to the poster who described it, but I don't think it's the norm.

Agree with all of this.
