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

once again I saw the CPU pitching coach come to the mound for a visit twice in the same inning without being forced to take out the pitcher.

If so, there is a glitch at the Metrodome. When you hit homeruns, if they bounce off the seats and back into play, it treats it as a carom off a wall. It should be a homerun.

In the metrdome, there is a homerun glitch where if you hit itto theleft of the baggy where the bleachers are, the ball doesnt go over the wall, but instead bounces of of the bleachers like there is an invisible wall. This makes me upset because it has taken so many homeruns away. I hope they get this fixed.<O></O>

Im playing a Royals franchise and just played at the Metrodome vs the Twins and noticed the same thing. I had 2 or 3 balls that went to deep center and hit off the bleachers, which is beyond the wall mind you, and bounce back into play and got doubles on them. Last game they would be HRs. Then one ball was hit and just made it over the wall and was a homerun cuz it didn't come back. I agree that it is frustrating.

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

Thats exactly what happened to me and thats exactly what I was doing. Maybe the problem only lies when trying to access this through the replay vault? I started another game, grounded out and went into replay and recorded it without a problem after that so maybe its the vault causing the issues.

Not only the replay vault.. It happens when going to 'Replay' after a play too.

It something within the actual replay screen.

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

I have one -- this is on the PS2 version, by the way . . .

I am only in the middle of spring training with my RTTS 1st baseman, but I have to ask if everyone is seeing as many of the opponents' players attempt to bunt for a hit as I am? Holy Crap, I thought it was a little too frequent, and then my thoughts were confirmed . . .

Friggin' Carlos Delgado tried to reach base via a bunt. 1 out, nobody on . . . and Delgado bunted. Seriously?

And just when I thought to myself "self, maybe you're just crazy and that wasn't really Carlos Delgado . . ."

HE DID IT AGAIN A WEEK LATER!!

The funny thing is, I threw his slow @ss out by a mile both times but I just had to share this issue.

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

Great game! i love the first and last name database. Only the PA announcer doesn't announce all the names on the list?

Some names to add for 2010 might be Sandy, Denny, Dutch, Mickey....

On PS3, I've seen this too, but only during Spring Training on RTTS.

I've yet to see a bunting decision like this in either Franchise or the regular season for RTTS.

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

Unfortunately, I can't guarantee if this is a bug or glitch because of the time involved and I posted a thread to see if anyone could verify this issue or would be willing to check but no one did. So, anyway, hopefully you'll be able to check. Here's what I wrote with pictures:

I was doing an RTTS as a 3rd baseman for about the first week or so of MLB 09's release. After awhile, I ended up getting tired of playing 3rd base but I was still curious about how doing an RTTS was different this year because of the inclusion of the same new aspects for Franchise mode. So, I decided to just sim out the rest of the career.

Everything was going fine until later in the career when I started to notice that I never had to compete with any sort of regression in my skills(which we did have to do last year). Being an optimist and am very trusting in SCEA, I thought to myself that they must've just tweaked the regression and had it happen later or something along those lines. Well not that I distrust SCEA now(they have made one hell of a game), but my character just turned 41(just starting the 24th season) and I still haven't any regression pop up. I've got a perfect rating in every stat category and have 9999 points available to use...and it's been this way for about 10 years now.

Oh, and just to prove that I'm having this problem, here's 7 screenshots showing the age, perfect ratings, that there's 9999 points availabe, and some of the stats that were accumulated during these simmed seasons of this character. Hopefully they'll shrink in size some.

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

This is something that's more of a programming thing and not really a bug but just the way that the AI logic works, but I hit a high sky flying shot into right field at Safeco with Griffey that was close to getting out, but I saw the CPU stop short of the warning track and just look at the fence. As I assumed it, this ball was not going to go out and instead hit off the wall. This was exactly the case (hitting the very top of the wall) and he played it perfectly, though I was still able to make my way around for a triple. The guy had a chance to actually catch it had he leapt, but instead he already "knew" that ball wasn't leaving the yard, and he played it so.

I have a video saved of it with some poor directing skills on my part that I'll bring up eventually when I get it saved on a flash drive, but it's things like these that make me wonder if anything in any video game is actually random. For instance, on assisted baserunning they know whether to go halfway or keep rounding bags on a fly ball because they know whether the CPU will catch it or not, even on a dive. Or maybe it's programmed for one in every 800 batters a beach ball will come out of the stands and onto the field. You know what I mean? The game may be more scripted than we know. That's not really a bug, I just wanted to throw it out there though.

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

in franchise mode, as players approach the plate for their at-bat, the stat overlay highlights a current stat but describes its significance last year:

for example, my first game of the year...

Hit &amp; Run Problem

I really only play online for now so I won't speak for this for franchise or exhibition. RTTS it's totally different I'm sure, but franchise and RTTS are basically unplayable for me right now. That's another discussion to be had though. Anyway, I really just play online, and the hit and run always used to be a crucial part of my game because I don't hit that many home runs. I'm a smallballer, hit and run, steal, go 1st to 3rd, etc. I don't power swing but 2-3 times a game, and maybe that will be part of the issue for me, but I can't execute a hit and run to save my life right now. If I send the runner in motion, the guy I mostly play could throw a hanging curve right down the middle of the plate, and 1 of 2 things will happen. 1, the most common occurence, is that I press swing, and I suddenly and very quickly back 5 feet off the plate. I've started my swing, and BAM, I'm doing the moonwalk out of the box, presumably to get out of the catcher's way but it's beyond excessive. There's no way anyone would swing and in the middle of their swing, just fly away like that. I don't think I zone exactly, but it happens very quick and it's very annoying. The 2nd thing that happens is that I will swing and miss entirely when it's obvious that I would have made at least some form of contact with no runners in motion. I've got it timed perfectly, I don't use the left stick a whole lot and so I don't miss many pitches when runners are not in motion, but suddenly I almost never make contact. I've managed to foul off 2-3 out of maybe 15 tries. I'm starting to think hit and run online is just illegal. There wasn't what I would quite call a glitch, but hit and runs were overly successful last year with one of the IF moved out of the way and it was a little lame and needed to be tweaked, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is just overcompensation, but it's just that, overcompensation.

Now, a similar issue which is a glitch, the ONE time I have put the ball in play with runners in motion, was 2 out, full count, so both runners on 1st and 2nd were in motion, not quite a hit and run, but same principle. I hit a hard grounder right to the 3B who tagged the runner from 2nd, next inning starts...same guy is at the plate. He had no time to get out of the box and his circle never appeared on the screen, and it put him back up to start the next inning as though I were caught stealing.

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

Was watching my son play online last night. After the 3rd out of the 6th inning he paused to go to his bullpen to get up a reliever. When came back to the game, showed the batter striking out, the pitcher left the mound, but all other players stayed on the field. Neither online player could advance the game at all. He had to quit and lose the game to the player who was ahead at the time.

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

Here's a big ol dookey glitch folks.. if its been posted, then my apologies, my ADHD wont let me read all these posts..

I finished my first season as the Orioles, loosing season.. go figure.. however, I made alot of changes during the off season, signing and tradings and all. I simmed the spring training, and once i got to the start regular season, i did. The problem started when i tried to fill out the roster on my AA team, the baysox. I had players available, but not in specific positions.. i.e. SS, i had a 3B, etc. When i tried to fill out the remaining roster spots with players, it would not let me. even more.. it RESET THE ENTIRE PS3!!! not once, TWICE!

The only work around i found is that you go to the first game that is to be played w/ the MLB club, and as the error messages come up you must first AUTOFIX everything!! then go back and do your changes!! wow! I have the first SKU PS3 (60GB HD) and i thought something was wrong with it. Once i did the auto fix stuff, i could go back and do the changes!!

WIERD OR WHAT??

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

Here's a strange issue my friend and I are having with an off-line league.

Here is the setup. We are playing a Season Mode, Fantasy draft league consisting of an 82-game schedule.

We did our draft and everything seems fine. He goes and plays his first game and when he gets to the 3rd inning he has an injury. Well, the game takes him to the sub screen and he tries to sub out the injuried player BUT after that the games doesn't let him do anything. he has to shut down his system. He tried to restart it again and the same situation happened. An injury in the 3rd inning and takes him to the sub screen and he's unable to do anything.

I've got the season file at home and I'm going to try it on my system to see if I get the same issue.

Re: Hit &amp; Run Problem

idk if it helps but that doesnt happen in franchise...maybe its an online thing

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

On the PSP version, I am playing with Houston in Spring Training. Whenever I am on the road, everytime I pinch hit for my pitcher the pinch hitter has to face one batter before I can bring in a reliever. I am in manage mode when this happens. It does not happen when I am the home team, just when on the road. Any one else have this problem?
