    Baserunning/close plays issue

    I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if im going crazy. I pretty much have seen the worst umpires in the history of baseball and they all are the standard in MLB 2k8. The issue im having is when I throw out a runner at 2nd or try and gun someone down at home, or when the AI does it to me, it is unrealistic most of the time. I have seen perfect situations where it looked perfect no issues but most of the time its broke.

    I was pitching, there was a guy on 3rd. deep shot to LF. Alou catches it and I throw it to the plate to try and gun down the guy tagging up. It was deep and I didnt really have a shot at getting the guy so the play goes through and i was bewildered when i watched the dude slide accross the plate and get called out. im like wtf.

    so I go into replay and it appears as though the dude was being calld out by the fact that the ball reached the catcher b4 he crossed the plate. the catcher didnt apply a tag nothing and by reasonable standards, the runner was sliding when the ball bounced 10 feet in front of the catcher, and as I slowly replay it just about as the ball is in the catchers glove the dude is about to cross the plate.

    This happens alot to me in this game. I see it alot on stolen bases too not just throws to one of the bases. Am I going crazy here or is there something broken with this game and having plays at bases?

    I see it all the time. It needs to be fixed but. Fortunately, it's not taking anything away from the gaming experience.

      well not major, but it is taking away frm the gaming experience, when your safe by a mile yet called out cause the ball got to the catcher first it dampens gameplay a bit. not game shattering but it does affect gameplay.
