Do you remember Dan Ugla, I remember a game when he made 3 errors in one inning

I think he was referring more to "a video game" having a bad day.......


In my opinion it can be coded "a bad day" just like anything else. That's part of what makes the game fun.

You know, this could be the exact reason that some games your guys just can't get things going. Your four hitter swings through a fastball that any other at-bat, he should have crushed.

Your Gold Glove SS boots two balls in a game, or Knoblochs a ball into the tenth row of the first base stands...

I just wonder if there are some games where the dice roll, or the ugly-stick gets waived onto a guy, and for the sake of stats, he just plays a crummy game?

Happens in real life, and sometimes, when it rains it pours.

That would be kind of awesome if it were true.. Talk about adding some realism...

It's the humanity element added to the game and it is just like what happens in real life. Guys have off days and the game replicates that.

If a game codes in "bad days" to the point that it takes control from the player, it ceases to be a game.

Question is: do you want to play as yourself in the batter's box, or do you want to play as another player? If you're using Kris Bryant's power to slug a home run, then why shouldn't you also depend on his condition that day?

So, there's a few issues at play here. First, we know SCEA's intent is to create a simulation (and thus you lose some control), but we don't know to what extent. We can hypothesize all day, but we just don't know to what extent certain real-life variables influence in-game simulation and performance.

Before we dive into whether player attitude / mental condition should be part of MLB the Show, we should figure out if it's even in the game.

I must be deaf at my old age, cause I don't hear any difference with the bat sounds with Golds or TV.
