1) THANK YOU SCEA!!! Customer service still exists in this world

2) The "Fixed the MLB.com ticker in-game"...are there real-life scores that appear during gameplay along with franchise scores? That would be awesome (for me). I'm not sure if it was addressed with the earlier patches but I haven't seen it.

3) Any more confirmations on this NEW glitch with the check swing thingy with 3 balls and being awarded a HR, BB and no run (or whatever)?

Thanks in advance for any/all responses

[BrandH]

Sweet, great job and thanks for fixing the bug that popped up so quickly.
