Me and my buddy Joe were playing last night on the Arcade version, I was the Yankees, he was the Braves, he pinch hit for his pitcher Niekro, and put in Crandel, then Niekro was back pitching next inning.
We've all seen that before,
...but 2 innings later when Neikro was to hit again, Crandel was up in the 9 spot, the rest of the game Crandel was the DH, and Neikro pitched.
I've never seen that before!
...any other sightings like that?
Greg:
That is the rarer form of the fucked up substitution, though I've never witnissed it on the arcade version. From the Glitch page:
* Fucked up substitution - A glitch quite common with California where you pinch hit for the pitcher, yet he's still pitching the following inning. I get this glitch about half the time I play. A somewhat rarer version of this is where you'll pinch hit for the pitcher, sub the pitcher, and the pinch hitter will still be hitting next time the pitcher is up. This one has only been confirmed with California.
It has now been confirmed with another team and version! WIll change the page soon...
Was playing against the computer, I was SF computer was NY, I pinch hit for Krukow, then Gooden was standing about 6 inches above his name, he kept pitching gradually moving over to his right. He hit 4 of my left handed batters in a row, those must have hurt. Finally he worked his way right in front of home plate, I was forced to try and hit the ball from about 15 feet away(rbi feet). Kevin Mitchel grounded into a double play.
I've seen this glitch, but never seen the pitcher gradually move himself across the strike zone. It was pretty cool.
just a thought... i wonder if any fans have threatened any lwwsuits for taking line drives off their domes. it just goes to show that one needs to pay attention to the game.
we got the one glitch that gantry was talking about where the game just ends. I was playing my friend Kevin and i had a runner on second with one out. i hit a foul pop that kevin caught right next to the dugout by the 3rd basemen. i was already rounding third and headed for home when he caught the ball so there was no way i could go back. when he tried to throw the ball, it went into the stands, and there was no way to get it. We just laughed hysterically and tried to get the ball but we couldn't. So we just finished off our beers and started a new game. It was awesome.
We dont see the end-the-game glitch anymore, as most of us are careful to move away from the stands. Actually, the only way the game ends prematurely is when the NES decides to reset itself. I wonder if we should make that a glitch or at least make it a group social/waterfall...
