catzrthecoolest Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Just yesterday, I was playing an away game, the home team was batting, and there was a runner on second. someone hits a single into center, and the guy is "safe" at home. But when i looked at the replay, I saw: as you can see, I tagged his hand before it touched the plate. Am i wrong? or does this happen even if you have "blown umpire calls" turned off...

djfierce Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It happens. I get picked of on crappy calls for the most part. Btw, I've never picked off a runner. Is that even possible?

I have, like 3 times ever hahaha and only with leftie pitchers.

MarkB Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That's not bad umpire logic, it's bad collision detection programming. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/34058-stupid-umpires/#findComment-510607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have, like 3 times ever hahaha and only with leftie pitchers. I've picked off my share of runners at 1st. Never default settings though. I use a datafile and sliders. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/34058-stupid-umpires/#findComment-510616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxxjerryxxxx Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It looks to me hes sliding in from the opposite direction maybe he was safe from what ever turned him around completely backwards?

Homer Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 but it also adds realism. blown calls happen. i think there's a setting you can use to get rid of blown calls.

ehhh Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I turned blown calls off less than a month after I bought the game. It seemed like every blown call occurred on an obvious play instead of a close one. I'd throw a runner out at first by two steps and the ump would call him safe, etc. No thanks, I'll just stick with perfect umpiring.

jai13 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I've picked off my share of runners at 1st. Never default settings though. I use a datafile and sliders. How do you get power on Pick offs? all i can get is a weak little throw that doesnt even make them slide and stops them getting a 2 step lead :( Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/34058-stupid-umpires/#findComment-511437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlight_reel Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Is it even possible to do the true Andy Pettite-ish lefty pickoff move? The CPU does it all the time.

My old gamepad could not pick off, and then I bought one of those generic Logitech Dual Actions and now I can pick off just fine.
