At least it seemed as if he wanted to make the play..... no no he stopped 6 ft away from first and also stopping was the pitcher a couple of ft off of the mound to watch the ball slowly dribble to RF????!!!! Nobody felt responsible to cover 1st. The funny thing is the CATCHER ran out to RF to get the ball when everybody was safe a long time already. I remember reading a couple of posts that this Catcher thing has already been in ´08 right? But other than that this is just a great game and I can´t wait to get my hands on that s*cker!!!

Bummer, I have the PSP version of 08 and have seen this once in awhile. I had not seen it in the 09 demo, was hoping it was gone. I never saw it enough to be a game killer for me though.

Yes sadly this issue is back. It happened to me a few times in last years game. I would just stop at first and let the game "fix" itself and continue on.

This happened on my FIRST at bat with the demo LOL. but if it's like last year they happen few and far between so I can live with it.

Hmmm. This was specifically talked about at the event. There is spot on the field that they had to find (to correct a glitch they must be able to recreate tha glitch exactly as it happened). What was happening, and I explained this way back when, is when the ball hit this spot it was turning the field around. You couldn't see it (the program being fooled into thinking the field was turned around), but it made the catcher think he had to retreive a ball that went to the backstop. That's why everyone else stood still. A RF wouldn't run to the backstop.

It was discussed that this was fixed, so I'm thinking you're not going to see this. Remember this is a mid-December build of the game we are playing right now.

Im I the only one here who thinks too many of the runs scored are off Home Runs?

In almost all my games played my runs come off of Home Runs.


And the funny thing is one game I had only 2 hits total in the game and both of those hits were Home Runs. lol

At times, the good news is that it can be adjusted and corrected pretty easily if you find the retail version has the same issue.
