RBI Baseball Secret Revised

[gamme]

Wait a sec guys....isn't this CHEATING???

Wait a sec guys....isn't this CHEATING???

I'd answer your question if I understood the secret.

[Gantry]

Lets try again mclane...  The steps

1)  You are player #1
2)  You have already used the 4th (bottom of the list) pitcher
3)  You still have a pitcher in the bullpen

If the above 3 are met, you can pinch hit for pitcher and the game will not take them out when you're on defense.  Not only that, but the pinch hitter at the 9 spot will stay in the game until you sub out the pitcher on defense.  Got it?

I don't like your tone.

Got it?

Yes, I think so.  Definitely gonna go home and try it right away.  RBI with a DH, gotta love it.

"No player can pinch hit for a pitcher unless there is at least one pitcher in said player's bullpen-regardless if NES allows for such, as this is also an easily correctable glitch."


As for this rule, I dont think the game will make this glitch.  Correct me if I'm wrong - the game never allows you to pinch hit when you have nobody in the bullpen.

I'm also trying to figure out if this is a programming glitch or something the programmers intended to happen.

how dare you quote me, gamme!

[JoeDirt]

So what's this glitch about?  I mean, how does it work?

[TβG]

the next step is for nightwulf to hack this glitch to be available for player 2 so you can have a psuedo-american league game.

Great fkn work, gamme!

The "Gantry-Player 1-Donnie Moore Started-Substitution Glitch" finally explained. 

AKA "Fucked up substitution" in dee-nee.com's RBI Glossary, under Glitches:
A very common glitch in which 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 glitch seems to be exclusive with the first player.

Wait a sec guys....isn't this CHEATING???

Only when JoeDirt does it.

Gantry has it pretty much down pat.  My final step in understanding is to see how things work in the next game in a series of games.

Notice how in game 2 of a round they have less pitchers listed to choose from (sometimes 3, other times 2, depending on how many you used). 

I'll need some help here since I haven't play that many series games.  There are definately times when you start a new game and they give you 3 pitchers to choose from, right?  Most of the time they give me all 4 or 2.  Let me know how this works.

Once I find this out I will test whether or not the glitch works with the original #4 pitcher or if they make the last pitcher on the list the new "special" pitcher once you begin a new game in the series.

I'll check that out eventually and then we can get all of these ideas out on a webpage somewhere.  Yes, it'd be nice to hack this into player 2.

Game #2 in a series works as such:

If you a starting pitcher in game 1, he won't be available in game 2.
Relief pitchers are always available in game 2.

[gamme]

So if I pitched one pitcher all the way through then I should have 3 pitchers for game 2?

[Gantry]

Yes sir...  And if you only use a reliever you should have all 4...

[nightwulf]

So if I pitched one pitcher all the way through then I should have 3 pitchers for game 2?

Not necessarily. If you used a relief pitcher (or relief pitchers) for the entire game 1, you'd have all four pitchers available for game 2.

Screw you Gantry, and screw the "someone has posted a new reply" message.

[gamme]

Alright, the glitch doesnt change when you play a second game.

Obviously if you only have 2 pitchers left, then you aren't going to be able to sub out the 4th pitch and still have one left in the bullpin.  But as for having 4 or 3 pitchers in game 2 - things still work the same way as far as I can tell.

[Gantry]

So if I pitched one pitcher all the way through then I should have 3 pitchers for game 2?

Not necessarily. If you used a relief pitcher (or relief pitchers) for the entire game 1, you'd have all four pitchers available for game 2.

Screw you Gantry, and screw the "someone has posted a new reply" message.

on this date in 2006, gantry used a smiley.

[nightwulf]

I need specific steps to reproduce this with 100% reliability. So far I've only gotten it to work once.

[JoeDirt]

Please, no...please don't make them explain it again!

[nightwulf]

I don't want an explanation, 'cause it's apparently not 100% accurate. What I need are detailed steps to reproduce the glitch.
