I was playing with the Red Sox to test it against Schmidt and i could load the bases and score 2 or more runs everytime i did that test.
One thing I noticed with this game. It has the best bunting I've seen in a game. I'm pretty good at laying down the perfect bunt down the lines. That said I could load the bases and score all day long. But that's taking advantage of what it, afterall, a video game trying to immitate real life as best it can.
People aren't supposed to take advantage of this and if they do (not talking about you), then they aren't playing the game as they should. Bunts should be used in bunt situations, like real life, and rare bunts for hits.
I think, overall, this helps lesson the vacuum effect of the pitchers getting everything and makes the third baseman charge balls. I've also seen the pitcher field a ball up towards firstbase and run over and tag the runner. That's o.k. as that can happen in real baseball.Perhaps 3rd basemans arm strenghts needed to be raised a notch or two?
The thing is, even with RANGE/ANTICIPATION lowered the pitcher still goes after bunts in his field of range. Now the 3rd baseman goes after balls he should be charging.
