Lots of batter K's after 3-0 counts w/ no swings!

[Charlie Ricker]

Hello,

First off I want to say thanks for all the hard work in getting any bugs ironed out, especially high pitch counts and foul balls.

I'd like to voice another issue and this seems to go back across previous OOTP versions. I play many games out pitch by pitch and countless times I'll be batting and get myself into a 3-0 count only to swing away at what should be fat pitches. I can't tell you how many times I'll swing away only to have my hitter take three pitches he should be demolishing and get rung up looking.

It's maddening.

Thanks again for any help.
Charlie

No one else is having this issue? I know not everyone plays out every game. Maybe I'm nitpicking, IDK.

There are no fat pitches. The game calculates outcomes per PA not per pitch.

That makes no sense. That would mean that when playing in pitch by pitch mode, I could start every hitter off with three pitchouts and it wouldn't affect opposing OPS compared to not starting every hitter 3-0.

Christ almighty, I never stated that this happens with every batter. Not once. People, if you don't have anything to add to help folks just skip the comments and stop wasting peoples' time. No wonder some folks don't bother posting.

Umm... I was responding to Columbusjets post. I have no idea what you are on about. But yeah, I see why I haven't posted in years now.

Fair enough, guess I didn't realize where your post was headed. I'll wear this one.

My apologies.

So this is still happening - wanting to swing away in counts that call for it and the bat stays on the hitter's shoulders and he goes down looking.

It's really frustrating.

It would be more realistic for the batter to take one or two swings on the way to his strikeout.

you think this is unrealistic yet if you watch the Mets then so much lmao

[curt]

I'm seeing this a lot EVERY game. It's almost predictable during an at bat. This needs to be fixed

Have a cup of coffee, a Pall Mall, and relax.

Thank you, I'm glad it's just not me seeing this. It's still an ongoing issue.

I suppose they could eliminate some of the balls so the count doesn't go to 3-0 but then they'd have to find another way to keep the pitch count intact so the pitcher stamina works correctly. Maybe let the count go to 1-2 and then some fouls before the K.

This would be funny if it wasn't so accurate.....what a mess they are right now.

This is a denial the game determines results on a per plate appearance basis. The OPs complaint is proof the game determines results on a per plate appearance basis.
