This game feels so scripted at times

Why does every game have to turn into a nail biter at the end? There's been so many occasions where I dominate the CPU (pitching-wise) only to have them pull some miraculous feat at the end to tie it up.

It's baseball... it's going to happen every once in a while. But it's gotten to the point where it's at least every other game in my franchise.

Curious, are you leaving your starter in after he's getting tired? I've found that's when the CPU most jumps me. If that's the case bring in a reliever to clean up.

I'm 11 games into a season and there's only been a couple of 'nail biters' for me. I'm generally dominating my opponents with my pitchers. Don't think it's the game pal.

Re: This game feels so scripted at times

I had this happen to me last night. I do fantasy draft and my Red Sox were playing against the O's. I dominated 7 innings with Wacha but I needed to pull him because he was almost out of energy.

As soon as I pull him and put in a high 70's rated SU reliever, I gave up 4 runs in the 8th and ended up losing the game 4-3.

I was more than a little bit pissed.

Need to work on situational pitching... Also take a look at the clutch rating for the pitcher.

I wish I had a nickel for every time somebody said a sports video game was scripted...

Wish there was a perfect balance , But there's not and you do end up on the other end sometimes.

Quick counts also seem to reflect this. First 6 innings, generally consist of 1-1 counts with the occasional full count or 2-2.

All of a sudden 3-0s and 3-1s constantly popping up no matter what pitcher is in the game.
