Computer AI in RBI

Was my suggested hack ever implemented?
The simple idea for stealing bases is lower the speed required to 138 (or somewhere close). This was mainly a fantasy league request. But it would make the computer slightly tougher in games against humans.

Isn't it easy to get a 138 runner out with the "throw home" trick if someone is stealing?   I'm not sure if it's true or not, I do know that while I laud the throw home technique in the FAQ a downside is that the runner doesn't slide.  So I haven't really done the research to know if it's actually better than throwing to second, but I feel like it is and a 138 (like Gibson) wouldn't steal on me successfully most times.

138 should be able to be hosed down every time with the right throw and if it's not a knuckle.

yea so some of the time

138 would probably have a decent success rate in Watch games (guessing 70%)

Ah I misread it, thought he was talking about making a CPU opponent tougher.

We figured out that the unknowns control what pitches are through and how much to curve them based on game situation (runner on 3rd, etc).  It's chronicled somewhere in this site.  I'll see if I can find it.

I figured it was already solved, but good to know my testing confirmed the same.  What I didn't realize is that both U1 and U2 are loaded - one used for left curve and one used for right.  Which makes sense because when I replay the video it's obviously going to only curve one way with the same pitch.

what adult isn't boring amirite?

I like to pronounce it AD-ult.
