Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

Not a bug or a glitch, but I didn't feel a new thread was necessary lol. My game freezes after the Pedroia start screen, before the main menu can finish popping up. I tried a fresh install and deleted my saves, but it didn't help. The disk is scratch fee too. Any ideas?

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

I'm in my second season of a pitching career and 3rd month of my catcher's career...

- The diving outfielders in both RTTS modes are extremely annoying. I've had several extra base hits which should have been singles and when pitching my outfielders are routinely diving when the better play is to just cut off the ball.

- Outfielders throw home and/or miss the cutoff man way too often when there isn't much of a chance to get the out, meanwhile other runners advance.

- Infielders avoid making the easy play (ie short play to second on grounders w\ 2 outs, or 3B man stepping on his bag on grounders w\ runners at 1st & 2nd) and instead opt to make the more difficult (sometimes impossible) throw to first. They also concede runs too often (or maybe always?) with less than 2 outs (ie ground ball to third, runner at 3rd scores while 3bman throws to first).

- There are way, way, too many 3-6-1 double plays in RTTS mode. Most of these should be 3-6-3's with the firstbaseman going to the bag after making the throw, instead of forcing the pitcher to cover.

- There appear to be a disproportionate amount of hits (specifically grounders) up the middle in RTTS pitcher mode.

- Noticed a major scoring error... GB to short, SS over throws first base, 1B over throws 2B attempting to get the advancing runner, runner advances to 3rd. Only the first error to the shortstop is scored, the throwing error of the 1B is not.

- RTTS pitcher mode > ground balls to the outfield with an OF throwing out a runner result in an "Accomplished Goal" for "Get a ground ball out" situations.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

The first three of your list aren't bugs, Ktulu. They're just sucky AA players being sucky. That stuff even happens in MLB at times. As for the second part of your third issue, conceding runs for sure outs is standard baseball strategy in many situations.

Now what I came to post:

There seems to be some wonkiness with double switches. I double switched, putting a SS in the pitcher's spot in the defensive half of an inning. The SS who took the pitcher's batting spot led off the next half inning with a hit. The game log correctly shows that the SS got the hit, but in the box score and stats the relief pitcher, who never actually batted, was credited with the AB and hit, while the SS who actually got the hit came around to score and did get credit for that.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

In the RTTS mode it's happened twice now where i finish a game, go to 'Sim to Next Appearance' and it will just stop at a certain date and refuse to go past it. I can hit 'O' to free up the cursor and look around/check other screens, but nothing i can do will advance it any more time. The first time i loaded up an earlier save and it didnt happen again until just now.

Anyone know whats up?

The diving is as much of a problem in the majors as it is in the minors, it's not related to player quality. Outfielders are simply diving way too much resulting in way too many singles turning into extra base hits.

The other two you don't consider bugs are also poor AI decisions and happen in all levels not just with "sucky" AA players.

As for conceding runs, yes it is a standard baseball strategy for gb's up the middle, but there is no awareness on the AI's part to get the out at the plate when A ) the play is there (ie grounder to 3rd runner is barely half way home) and B ) the game situation dictates it (ie your already down 4 runs and cant afford to give more).

These things are happening all the time, not just once in a while (which would be fine).

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

1) Maybe just crazy luck but I noticed twice now that a ground ball hit up the middle smacks off the pitcher rubber at such a crazy angle that it makes the ball do a complete 180 and ground back to the catcher to throw out the guy at first.

2) I did a drag bunt down the 3b line.. The 3b went to barehand it and he booted it into foul territory where it was then called a foul ball.

3) 2 outs, guy on first.. Grounder to short and he throws it over the 1b head and into the stands. the runner was awarded home plate (should only get 3rd) and the batter awarded 2nd (thats ok).

4) Did a franchise draft with the Mets.. Upon winning the 4th game of the first round in the playoffs (win series 3-1) and clinching, my fantasy players were shown doing the typical high-5 and such after the game. But then when the cutscene went to them all piling on each other and celebrating the winning of the series, it was all the players on the real Mets this season, not the ones I drafted.

5) Maybe not a bug, but def falls into the wtf categroy. Doing a season of 14 games. Griffey is my DH and hit in all 14 games. Yet he never got the fire thing next to his name, yet Arod who seemed to either go 0-5 or 3-5 was considered "hot".

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

Has anyone found a fix to the RTTS glitch were the game freezes up after a game on the load screen. By the way I have custom music on my player.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

how does a pitcher getting a 2 inning save explain why some pitchers in your league have more saves than innings???? that is counter-intuitive

Not really. It explains it by telling me that something is wrong with the way saves are being scored.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

Like last year you are unable to perform a DOUBLE SWITCH in the Sportscast simulator mode. I cant understand how something so basic but yet so important is left out of the game. Why even have this mode if its not going to be done right?? This a major flaw that will likely force me to play Baseball Mogul on the PC. This is a great game otherwise. I just cant understand how something like this is left out! Maybe I should just play with an AL team where the double switch isn't nearly as important. I thought for sure this would be corrected but NO. ARRRGHH

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

When he came in he may have been within the qualifications of a save, then if they opened it up later, as long as he remained in the game, he still would be credited with one.

I thought about that, too...but they were killing me when he entered the game (by way more than 3 runs).

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

My question is: has anyone else had an issue with the way the game figures out whether or not to credit a pitcher with a save? This is a really consistent mess-up in my franchise mode.

[Goose26]

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

Not sure what the original question about saves was, but it is entirely possible to have more saves than innings. A pitcher can throw 1/3 of an inning and get the save, therefore 3 saves to 1 IP.

There are other circumstances and requirements needed to meet the definition of a save, but I won't waste time posting them here. Read a rule book if you are really concerned.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread***

I just ran into one on RTTS with regards to batting practice.

I'm playing as the Portland Sea Dogs (Red Sox AA) and on May 18, I'm asked if I want to participate in batting practice, so I do... except there is a magical floating bat in the cutscene in which I'm assuming there's supposed to be a player. My player I'm controlling shows up along with the hitting coach and they're talking and the previously mentioned "magically floating bat" moves up to the plate and gets ready to swing. It cuts to the batting practice and there is no one at the plate and the pitcher just stands there. Nothing happens except it leaves me feeling bummed out that I can't take part of batting practice because of this glitch.

I think I should PM this to the developers too. Anyways, I think I might have to skip this training to my disappointment.
