CPU Suicide Squeeze with the bases loaded??????

[tnixen]

Why does the CPU constantly do a suicide squeeze with the bases loaded??????

I lose so many games because of this.

You hardly ever see a team do a suicide squeeze with the bases loaded in real life!

Please Fix this Sony!!!

CPU becomes very fond of bunting in late/extra inning tie/1-run games. I've seen guys like Posey and Pujols sac bunt (successfully). Suicide squeeze is so frequent that it feel like it's guaranteed to happen with a guy on third in those situations...

CPU manager really needs to improve (also the game around bunting -- success rate, bunt hit variety, etc. -- still has a lot to be desired...).

Game this monring. Bottom of 9th. Bases loaded with 2 outs and the computer sac bunted successfully to tie the game

I've never seen an unsuccessful sacrifice bunt as of yet. It's getting to be a bit ridiculous.

I find that the CPU bunts like an absolute champion. To get on base, advance a runner, straight sacs or squeezes - whatever the situation calls for the CPU just does it. It doesn't matter who's bunting or pitching. Type of pitch or location...you can rest assured that they will get it done.

It's old at this point. It needs to change next year.

I stand by what I said last year in that I think the reason for so many "clutch" infield hits and bunts is because the way this game actually works is instead of calculating the spin, velocity, and trajectory of the ball off the bat, the CPU runs a simple hit/out calculation and then picks one at random. So this year, instead of actually making a realistic physics game, they "influenced" it with the new spin mechanic. I thought they finally made it a real physics calculation, but the fact that spin appears to be applied almost at random and not in line with the PCI position a good amount of time just speaks more validation to my assumption. There's just too many plays that happen that appear tethered together, like the fielder HAS to make the catch.

I'll admit, this is the best they've covered it up ever. It's taking me much longer to get tired of it.

Normally people say "I hope I'm wrong" but I really hope I'm right, because if I'm wrong and this is what their best efforts toward a real ball physics engine is, these games are going to start showing their age real quick.

Great thread. I have very rarily seen the CPU either strike out or pop out in a bunting situation. Usually a successful sac bunt

Yes. This is very frustrating. I lost a wild card game this way. Somehow Miguel Cabrera laid down a perfect bunt in the 9th inning to score the winning run from third. Great way to end a season 😐
