what i would like to see in the new game

jdolecek49 · 03-12-2020, 09:51 AM

in ootp21 what i would like to see is some randomness. throwing arunner out is predictable, catching a flyball or foul balls in general, plays in general just seem to be too predictable....what do you guys think about this being a possibility? the other thing I would like to see is more precision with the gameplay if that makes any sense

What

Not at all sure what your post means.

The purpose of a baseball simulation is to reproduce statistics as close as possible to real baseball. OOTP does that well, and in addition allows enough variation for careers not to be fixed to the historical records.

Adding variation for the sake of being more variable would make it less accurate. This isn't an arcade game.

I presume it’s in relation to the 3D engine, which can be predictable at times but is always improving

If that’s what his post meant, let me reiterate what has been said ad nauseam:

The visuals have no impact on the result of a play.

True.

I think it's more about the animations 'tipping' what will happen in this case, but I could be wrong

Do runners now run through 1st base whether safe or out?

like the occasional runners being thrown out at home or the occasional error which i'm not seeing

The errors do occur. I've seen dropped flyballs, bobbled grounders, errant throws, baserunning mistakes, balks, etc. keep playing out games and you'll see them too.

As far as randomness, I'd like to see other things happen, like more than one rain delay in a game, or more than one brawl in a game. Different brawls instead of just charging the mound. Like the hard slides at home or second that sometimes trigger them
