    Gameplay

    How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it?

    I was playing as the Cubs, and the next half-inning after pinch-hitting Ryan Theriot (who was on the bench resting) in place of the pitcher, I wanted to keep Ryan Theriot in the game at SS in place of Andres Blanco while bringing Carlos Silva in to pitch. When I got to the Double Switch screen, I didn't know how to use it correctly, so when it told me to select what position to put Ryan Theriot at, I accidentally clicked "Ryan Theriot" on the list, and then I clicked "Andres Blanco." When nothing happened, I started clicking around between the two some more until something happened.

    When I got back out onto the field, things were really screwed up. Ryan Theriot was accidentally removed from the game (this part was user error, I admit), but the real glitch here is that according to the Defensive Positioning menu, Andres Blanco was in the game BOTH at pitcher and at shortstop, but the character model of the shortstop was Carlos Silva, and he was wearing Silva's uniform. I panicked at the sight of this glitch and put Marmol in the game to pitch. Sure enough, Carlos Silva remained in the game at shortstop, yet the game still thought he was Andres Blanco on all of the menus and graphics, and Matt and the PA announcer treated him as Andres Blanco. At this point, I was kind of curious if he would play using Blanco's attributes or Silva's attributes. Pretty quickly, I determined that he was indeed using Silva's attributes as he was unbelievably slow around the bases (he reached on a HBP), and he couldn't play SS to save his life; in fact, he even blew the game by overthrowing to 1st on a routine double play.

    To summarize, Carlos Silva was in the game at SS both in character model and in terms of the attributes that he had during gameplay; however, all menus, graphics, and announcing treated him as Andres Blanco, including the attributes that were displayed for him on screen such as contact, power, and speed.

    How often can the bug be reproduced?

    Probably every time when you use the Double Switch screen as improperly as I did. In doing so, I must've swapped Andres Blanco for himself and Carlos Silva at the same time, which triggered the glitch. What happened to me must have been the game's failsafe to having two of the same player in the game at one time.
    I'd like to update this with how I managed to reproduce it. In the new example you're about to see, I had failed to reproduce it once already, so I had the pitcher Angel Guzman batting 7th and John Grabow warming up in the pen. When Guzman's spot came up, I pinch hit Xavier Nady for him. When the next half inning came up and I got the warning about having a position player on the mound, I selected John Grabow in the pen and chose "Double Switch." When the Double Switch menu came up, I chose "yes" to "Would you like to leave Xavier Nady in the game," and when it asked me to choose a position to move him to, I intentionally highlighted Xavier Nady's name on the list and pressed X. Then, I went up to Kosuke Fukudome's name and pressed X. Then, I went back to Xavier Nady's name and pressed X. After doing this, you return to gameplay with the aforementioned glitch in place. In this case, there are two Kosuke Fukudomes listed in the Batting Order, one at pitcher and one at RF. However, the pitcher is the real Kosuke Fukudome, while the right fielder is actually John Grabow.

    One interesting thing I noticed is that the messed up John Grabow will have John Grabow's attributes in the field and when batting, but if you move him to the pitcher's spot, he will pitch using Fukudome's pitching attributes (because the system thinks he's Fukudome).

    Here are some pictures I nabbed of it the other day:

    Messed up Defensive Positioning screen:


    Messed up Batting Order:


    Fukudome on the mound:


    Grabow (named Fukudome by the system) playing RF (taken at the same time as the above picture):


    Here I swapped the two Fukudomes in the Defensive Positioning menu, which brought Grabow to the mound and put the real Fukudome in RF:


    Here is Grabow (named Fukudome by the system) pitching during gameplay. Notice that he is limited to Fukudome's repertoire. In addition to this, he pitches just like Fukudome with 80 MPH fastballs, a changeup that barely breaks, and almost no control. If you look closely at the scoreboard, you can see the two Fukudomes listed on the batting order.


    Here is the pitcher/batter display taken just after the above screenshot:


    Here is Grabow coming up to bat. Notice something wrong with the graphic underneath him?

      Playing a game in RTTS, I hit a HR that gave me 200 on my career. While the replay of my HR was being shown, the game froze: completely locking up my system. (I had to shut it off and reload the game). I didn't think much of this, so I just loaded up a previous save and continued playing. After an in-game week's worth of games, my player hit his 200th career HR again, and once again, the system froze during the replay. It seems the game doesn't like the fact I hit 200 career bombs!

      How often can the bug be reproduced?
      Twice. I decided to just sim my way through my 200th HR. I've hit subsequent HRs (201, 202 and 203) and the game did not freeze during the replay.

        The 200th homer bug has been present since '08. Really need to nip this one.

          I tried a few search strings and didn't see anything like this, so forgive me if it's a repost:

          Location: Oriole Park st Camden Yards
          Situation: CPU vs. CPU. 2 men on base. Deep line drive toward the tall wall in right field. Right fielder goes back on it, ball hits him as he runs into wall with the bracing animation, ball hits the warning track. Call is......a 3 run Homerun. The ball never got half as high as that wall, let alone above it completely. In addition, Matt V's "Canseco" line played when this happened.

          Video of the play:

          Not often, I hope. Probably just one of those freak things, but this one in particular turned an entire game around. First time I've ever seen this, certainly.

            CPU hit a ball off the foul pole in left field at the "Polo Grounds" ball park and it was called a ground rule double.

              Batting Practice pitches are counting as in-game pitches for the opposing pitcher. I am the leadoff hitter for NYY. I am playing in Boston, and I purposely let the BP pitcher throw pitch after pitch. I walk away and come back to start the game. I walk up to the plate as the leadoff hitter and check the pitch count and the pitcher has 90 pitches thrown to start the first inning.

              Every. Single. Time.

                Every Monday I'm hoping I will see an announcement for a third patch. Hopefully they are taking their time and getting everything fixed, but the fact that they are already asking for input on mlb '11 makes me wonder if they have closed the book on mlb '10.

                    Game tips pop up even when turned off.

                    In RTTS as a hitter sometimes you will start off with an 0-1 count.

                    The catcher/umpire gets hit by too many foul balls throughout the game.

                      When you get to the 2017 season in rtts and you are simming the offseason the game will freeze up when you try to look at the offseason roundup page every time. Apparently this was happening in the 09 as well from this post http://www.operationsports.com/forums/scea-sports-mlb/325371-2017-freeze-up.html

                        3B AI doesn't pick up the ball, which results in a base hit.

                          My Left fielder tried to throw the ball to the cutoff man but the throw was offline and went all the way to the "front" of the dugout. And the ball was ruled "out of play" and the batter was awarded second.

                          The ball did not go into the dugout! It just hit the "front" of the dugout. So because of the "Out of Play" ruling I did not even get a chance to throw the batter out at second.

                              The out of town scoreboards in the stadiums (of all teams) are "turned off/blank"-- this happend soon randomly b/c they were working fine at first and went blank about 2-3 weeks ago. Not a gamebreaker but I enjoyed seeing other scores while I played. -- the jumbotron works fine and other stat boards however

                              It has been this way every franchise game I've played starting about 2 weeks ago or so-- in exhibition games "fake scores" still appear on the out of town board
