What game mode did the bug happen in? (Front End, RTTS, Franchise, Gameplay, Online, etc....)

RTTS

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

I am the catcher for the Cincinnati Reds and I'm in a one-game playoff for the wild-card with the Mets. It's the 8th inning and I have a 6-1 lead. Runners are on 1st and 2nd and there are two men out. The guy at-bat (Sorry, but I forget his name) hits an easy, inning-ending ground ball to the shortstop. It's hit fairly sharply, and on the way to the shortstop the guy running from 2nd to 3rd gets hit by the ball. I can tell by the sound that was generated and the way the ball suddenly came back towards the pitcher's direction and slowed down. The shortstop then runs up to grab the ball and flips it to second base where the runner was already there. Everybody was called safe and the batter was credited with a base-hit. This is not correct. If a batted ball hits a base-runner before it is touched by any fielder, the runner is out. The inning should have ended right then and there. Seems like the collision detection that is implemented into the game in order to have balls hit off of the pitchers and the players does not take into account what team the player is on.

I think the code for the ball hitting a player should include a little detection about what team the player is on. Something like "If ball hits player, check if ball has hit player on team that's fielding, or if it has been in the fielding circle of a fielder. If no, check what team player that was hit by ball is on. If team = team at-bat, runner is out." Something like that.


How often can the bug be reproduced?

Don't know. This is the first time I've had it happen to me and it's not easy to reproduce.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread Part 2***

Damn how many times do people have to explain. One of the CPU controlled teams has an invalid roster. Fix it and it should be ok....

Your a F@$king IDIOT. How am i going to fix it when i am not controlling all 30 teams. I will not control all 30 teams cuz to me thats not realistic.

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

Pick Yankees Stadium, choose night time for game time. Every time it ends up being day time.

How often can the bug be reproduced?

Yes, every time.

I have a video of this happening to my RttS player last week. I'll post it when I get home.

Franchise

Ball hit in play hits runner going to second and the runner is not out. I wish I could say it cost me the game, but it only accounted for one of the 14 runs I lost by.

How often can the bug be reproduced?

I have only seen it happen twice, but both times the runner was not called out.

The workaround for this is if a player gets hit and should be out, change controllers to the other team and have that guy steal and be thrown out.

It's not the best thing but it works good.

Ball hit in play hits runner going to second and the runner is not out. What should've been an inning ending DP, now puts runners at all bases with one out. I have the video here, as clear as day, that the runner was hit by the ground ball.

First time seeing it, however considering the # of times people have now posted about it...It's clearly an issue.

If the ball hit the runner there could be no double play.

The runner is out and the play is then dead...

There would have been two outs then not three. You could swich controllers to the CPU team and have the guy that was hit by the ball thrown out.

yeah yeah yeah. sorry didn't mean to confuse.

it was an inning ending classic GIDP 3-6-3 style ball in play.

instead, it hit the runner. all runners should've been returned to their bases with the runner out.

now...as for 'workarounds' in general...

lots and lots of positive work here, and i can appreciate what people are doing...but i'm simply not going to switch over to another team and tank a player's AB or base running because of a glitch in the game.

it's on Sony to fix, and it's on me to just 'deal' in the meantime. i think these workarounds, at the risk of sounding mean, are a bit silly.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread Part 2***

RTTS as a shortstop with fast play on and only playing to fast-forward to my own at-bats and lead runner baserunning situations.

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

I was brought in as a pinch hitter in the top of the 9th inning of a tie ballgame (which is weird because I'm the starting SS.) I hit my first career home run in AA to give my team the lead. Barring the closer blowing the game, the end of my at-bat would lead to the end of the game on account of a fast forward. Well, it fast forwarded...TO ME BEING THE CATCHER, CALLING THE PITCHES. Somehow I got out of the inning and we won, but I didn't even get player of the game for my game-winning solo blast.

How often can the bug be reproduced?

No idea. It's only happened once to me, but holy cow what an incredibly huge bug. BTW, as I'm typing this, my post is being formatted in HTML so I've had to put line break tags everywhere.

I see it in a totally different light.

If the ball hits a runner, by rule he should be out so I have no problem going to the CPU team and getting the runner that the ball hit out. I dont feel "dirty" or "cheap" cuz it should have been an out anyways.

I guess to each their own though.

Re: ***Official Bugs/Glitches Thread Part 2***

RTTS. I have baserunning opps at none, and I was told by the manager to not steal. Ok, I don't have to worry about it, cuz I dont do that. Anyway, in the playoffs, I return from a game, and turns out I've been benched for stealing. WHAT THE HELL????

When a player is injured in a game and after the game is finished and moves back to the team schedule, the box pops up asking how to handle the player's injury. After selecting the choice, the next game to be played is incorrectly advanced to 1 pitcher farther in the rotation than should be and all position players have very reduced energy. Upon investigating, I saw in the stats that it is as if a "phantom" game is simulated because my record was 5-4, but stats show that my players had 10 games played.

It has happened each of the 2 times an injury has occurred in my franchise, so now I have an 8-8 record but stats for 18 games, and each time energy levels dropped severely.

Great find. I had heard about peoples wins and losses not adding up per the games they played.

Looks like injuries are causing this issue.

Yeah, but the workaround does not work at all if a run scores on that play because of the bug. You can't take a run off of the board. If it happens in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th, or it causes a game to be tied, there is absolutely no work-around for it. (Since if it causes a game to be tied, it would cause the pitcher who had the lead to lose his victory and the pitcher who was the recipient of that bug to get a blown save. You can't change that once the bug happens. Had this bug caused me to lose the game, I'd probably need a new controller and a new TV right now.
