editing opposing AI teams defense

ehindy · 03-10-2014, 08:22 PM

through approx. 40 games, I've noticed an odd trend where I would bet 95% of the balls my team has hit in the gap or in the hole result in tremendous defensive plays almost every time by the computer team. I gather this is just an odd coincidence, yet I feel I have to post this just to break my bad luck. Any ideas?

What's your team record? Unless it is 0-40 then it's perception not reality.

13-21.

In those 13 wins, did the 95% hold? I seriously doubt that.

How can you tell that they were tremendous defensive plays?

My guess it's from the PbP.

Trust me, this is misperception and bad reasoning. To dispel it, go through all the game logs and count up how many put outs that opposing outfielders got on balls to the gaps or holes versus his that your players got.

Then calculate the percentages and you will see that this notion of 95% is far from reality.

Exactly. If this was close the OP would be getting 1 hit on every 20 gb. At that rate he'd be lucky to have 3 wins.
