BTW, I thought it was super cool seeing Aybar stumble out of the gate when trying to take 2B.

But the one thing that has driven me to the brink of insanity over the past 2 years is this. At the 1:22 mark of that video, Max pitches a slider where 95% of that ball is in the strike zone and yet it's called a ball. Later on, in Miggy's AB, he guts rung up on a high fastball. We never get to see where the ball was located, but from my estimate, it didn't come close to hitting the zone nearly as well as Scherzer's opening pitch. I've seen this kind of thing happen with either umpire setting. It doesn't seem to matter. I don't mind it once in a while, but in my time with '11 and '12, the CPU seemed to get the benefit of favourable calls more than I did - and on pitches that had no business being called a ball. I'd even be okay if the ball was 50/50 or 60/40 in the zone. But it happens way too many times where almost all of the ball is in the strike zone.

I had the Umpire Strike Zone Set to Variable when shooting this video, although I haven't had a chance to set it to off to see what would happen.

Don't know if this is my ps3 or the game itself, but there are some stutters here and there.

Last year I rectified this by not opting to install the additional 5 or 10GB.

It's not the PS3. My game has stuttering moments as well. Mostly in the menus, but sometimes during a game. I had the first game freeze today too.

Thanks!
Don't change it on my account though. I know I get too wound up with the missed strikes in this game, so I was just venting.

I saw it during the recent Royals-Phillies video too. It happens at the 1:05 mark and then again (quite often) during Butler's at-bat.

Hopefully it can be patched.

Thanks for posting so many great video's guys!

Yep this is looking more and more like a real issue and needs to be addressed. Menus and cutscenes are one thing, but it is happening very often during the actual gameplay.

Whether it can be remedied by installing data, not installing, whatever. Its a problem with retail copies of the game.

LOL yeah, no way JP fields that ball without coming up lame.

Sure we did. Right in his cold spot too...

You're right, that pitch ws 50/50 in the zone.
But I guess that's my point. Trout gets the benefit of the doubt with a 95/5 pitch, but Triple-crown winner Miggy doesn't on a 50/50 strike?
If you're going to have variable pitching, then go all out and program 'make-up' calls in there too.
Trout got one, Miggy should as well.
