Top of the 9th with a 4 run lead.. pitching like a BEAST, unstoppable. Given up just 3 hits in 8 innings, including a double play. Feeling a little tired, but im on fire. 3 Outs away from a 3 hit shut out victory.. 1st batter, strike him out with a wicked curveball. 2nd batter takes a swing on my changeup and goes back, back, back, back... out at the warning track. One out away from my first complete game, let alone a shut out. The managed pulls me. The "closer" gives up a walk and a home run before getting the final out. I could not believe I was pulled with 1 out left..my jaw dropped. Sometimes I hate AI.

Baseboll is not a sports.

I understood everything up to here.

what happened?

Looks like the AI manager swapped pitchers at the final out for some dumb reason.

I thought this would be about cheating AI. That's the only AI I know.

I was with you up until "Top of the..." But yeah, AI can sometimes make you angry.

There's a mission on GTA: San Andreas where the fat black bloke is riding around on the back of your bike and you have to chase these people down riding on the top of a train, and you had a limited time to get them before they were carted out to safety. I ran that mission PERFECTLY, giving the AI companion plenty of opportunities to shoot the people, but the goddamn thing would never shoot them. And when I fail the mission he has the cheek to shout AT ME!! That did it for me.

You can't control the substitutions yourself? That's pretty dumb. I guess the other pitcher didn't have the same quality as the first pitcher and that's why he gave up the homerun, right?

Its a mode on MLB 07 called Road to the Show. You create a player and control him, and him only. Its amazing and really good fun. You could be Barry Bonds but if your team mates cant get on base you can still finish a season with 40 RBIs.. in this case the manager decides when to hoik you.. needless to say I confronted him after the game and he told me next time he would leave me in longer

this sounds like a typical Chicago Cubs game.

I especially hate shooter AI, if I'm shooting on one side of the building, and retreat and walk all the way to the other side of the building, the AI should not be shooting at me the second I pop my head out, horrible horrible horrible!

 

[Sp3eD]

I don't think there will ever be a AI screwjob like what I got back in Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball on SNES.

Up by 7 runs in a regular season game and the AI hit TWO grand slams in the 9th to win. I cuold not buy an out.

The catchup AI in NFL Street makes me want to break things sometimes.

I had a super awesome game of AFB2k8 that I still am shaking my head at.

I'm up 17-5 (I tried throwing a lob pass from the endzone....dumb)
