    3rd Out Bug,

    I was gonna wait until I actually experienced "the bug" before accepting it as true... well in the small world that is my bedroom the 3rd out bug DOES EXIST.

    I was play'n the royals in my 6th game on MVP with a SIM of 7. The bases were loaded with 2 outs and Ibanez stroked what I thought was a sure homer. I caught it up against the wall and when I finished celebrating I noticed the score was now 2 -1 instead of 1-1. This did not happen in the ninth inning to lose the game like most of the reports I've heard. It was in the 2nd or 3rd - I came back to win, which was nice.

    Another "interesting bug" I have in my game is a sound issue. EVERY TIME I complete a game the background music disappears once I enter the Box Score screen, and It stays gone until I save my game - then it's back. I actually really like this because it reminds me to save my game.

    I'm running an original production PS2 that HAS to be on its side to play the game. Sometimes requires a Cleaning CD just to get started. Unlike the sound issue I was talking about, the 3rd out bug doesn't always occur. I have seen the baserunners hold up several times in the 5 previous games I've played. Its a puzzle that needs solving. Hope this post helps.

    I STILL LOVE THIS GAME!!

    Well, the sound thing happen to me too, but thats not really a "bug" I can't remember on last year edition if the music dissppear or not, but I don't care either, actually, maybe it is an option under some settings, got it check that out.

        Is it just me or does it seem like all the people that are supposedly experiencing these issues are new to the boards?

                What I find most interesting is that there is very little mention of the "bug" on the GameFaqs boards. Given how trivial and silly those places can get, I was suprised to see less of an uproar.

                And let me say this, and this is not meant to accuse anybody: After Baseball Guru was here as a mole from Acclaim, I put nothing past corporate structure trying to sell games. Maybe fanboys of other titles, maybe Midway employees, who knows. These "bug" reports have already cost HH sales, I'm sure. But Guru was here for a long time making "arguments" against other titles.

                All the while, he was an employee of Acclaim and a team member of ASB. If that isn't getting duped, I don't know what is.

                For this sole reason, until somebody I really trust on this board can replicate the bug, I will proceed with caution.

                    It just seems a little odd. One of the guys who reported the bug at GameFaqs also created a topic for 10 reasons why HH sucks. Just seems like a fanboy hoax to me, I've played quite a few games and have yet to experience it.

                        If the bug exists in the X-Box version, then it has indeed cost them what was a sure sale to me. I love the realism of the HH games and this bug certainly puts a big dent in said realism. I have already pre-ordered ASB2004 (against my better judgement; I had lots of problems with last year's version), will surely get WSB and will take a long hard look at MVP now. But HH was the one I had the most hope for, from a pure gameplay standpoint. Now it looks like WSB will be the one I pin my hopes on.

                                Well I have had the game since Friday. I have played 12 games so far (on various levels, with various settings) and I am impressed. My last game was a 11 inning classic, Cubs @ SF,which was won bu Alfonso with a walk-off HR off of a tired Juan Cruz. . . .anyway the game plays great and feels like real baseball and the level of detail involved in the franchise mode is amazing (I love the fact that minor league plays that are called up get contracts- makes calling a guy up or sending one done a much big deal- as it should be) and hell what more can you ask for?

                                Now, I have not seen "the bug" or any other bugs so. . .so don't know what else to say about that. If I see any I will report back like the loyal OS operative I am. . .

                                Anyone else with GAMEPLAY impresions that are not bug-based?
