AI Follow-up Questions...ie The Boys are back in town....

Could you explain how to preload throws and how to avoid the slow animations?

Also, anytime I throw from SS to 2b or 2b to SS it is an underhand flip.

With all of this talk about stamina, days off, rest, would it be safe to say that CAL RIPKEN JR's record will never ever be broken? In real life or a video game?

I would like to reiterate Nemesis's point about the cpu offense being a little weak on HOF difficulty even with the sliders in the cpu's favor.... ex. cpu hitting all the way up, cpu timing window all the way up

Seems they think fatigue is perfectly fine. Again, I know what I'm seeing and I know that 4 or 5 starters shouldn't need a day off by the first weekend in April. It's ridiculous.

I couldn't agree with you more. With the amount of people that this fatigue issue bothers, and the amount of people who have complained about it on these message boards since the game's been released, for the developers to come and act like it isn't a problem worried me too. I was really hoping to get this fixed in a patch and not have to wait until next year.

Kolbe asked me what I consider to be fatigued? I mean, come on. I'm not stupid. I'm not going to rest a guy who's bar is at 65% When the bar is damn near empty after 5 games, and the cpu keeps bugging me before games about giving guys rest, that's a problem.

By April 6th the cpu was telling me that A-Rod and Jeter both needed a day off. Just the 6th game of the season and only the 5th day in a row! How could anybody not see that as a problem?

As for now, I've turned injuries off and I am playing guys no matter how tired they are. I just ignore the game time decision things that pop up all the time.

But I'm going to have to restart my Franchise, I'm so much in the hole because of the $100,000,000, loan I took out to buy a plane and training equipment to try and solve this problem, to no avail.

I don't think they were trying to pass it off as not a problem, just explaining what their formula was(or at least a sense of it) and asking questions so that they may better understand what exactly we see is the problem.

I, myself, don't see this "problem". I have played 9 games and the only person that its told me that was tired was Izturis and that was after the 8th game.

Maybe not, but he did say that he wasn't able to reproduce the problem. Who is he kidding? All it takes is playing one week into a Franchise. Half your team is gassed and the game is telling you to rest them.

I find it odd that you never see any of the problems people bring up.
It must be nice to have the only perfect copy in existence.

A quick update - we just found a bug that is causing a few issues with player energy. We are looking at a potential fix for the patch.

Not that we don't have a bug with it (as i stated in the previous post) but you PERCEIVE player energy differently than he does. The code is exactly the same for each disk

You are amazing
