    Batter not given strike 3 for fouled bunt

    Seasons mode. I've just had a CPU batter foul 5 consecutive bunts but he stayed on 0-2 and the 2nd out wasn't given despite the commentators acknowledging he was out. Of course the 6th bunt was fair and he reached first base on an error...cue me exiting the game as there's no point playing if this is what's going to happen.

    Anyone come across this? It's a pretty bad bug. Bug report #15701.

    This is a known bug in the game. It doesn't happen every time, but as you witnessed it does happen.

        I haven't personally but there have been a few others on the forums who have mentioned it happening after this latest patch.

          Yes, it literally happened to me moments before I started the thread. I've posted more info in the bug report.

            I haven't seen it for the CPU( the cpu is called out on foul bunt attempt with 2 strikes), but I have seen it for myself. I've had to institute a house rule to stop myself from using the extra attempt.

              I've had it happen once post patch 1.03. Coco Crisp 0-2 pitch bunted foul and it didn't result in an out.

                I had this happen after the latest patch.

                I was bunting with my pitcher and tried the pull the bat back on a pitch very inside. The pitcher didn't pull it back and was hit by the pitch, which should have been the third strike (he missed the bunt and was deemed to have offered at the pitch)

                Instead, he was still at the plate with an 0-2 count.

                  Had this happen a few days ago in my season. Almost cost me a game when the opposing pitcher got his sacrifice bunt down on the following pitch. Really pissed me off.

                    I have, but only once. (What I don't know for sure if I've had any foul bunts with two strikes other than that one occasion since the patch.)

                      I've heard it only does this when it's your pitcher at bat.

                        In my case it was the opposing pitcher at bat.

                          Nope...I was pitching to the CPU's pitcher.

                            I saw this again last night. Saved a video of it if it would help to have it uploaded.
