Possible Wrigley Bug on Foul Ball Outs

[HypoLuxa13]

This may help explain why CPU fielders at Wrigley hit the wall and just keep running in place. they actually are trying to catch up to the ball because the out of play boundaries are messed up.

UGH, I was hoping to use the Cubs this year...

From what I'm reading it only happens in Wrigley, correct?

Might have to try another team while we hope for a patch...

Had a foul ball hit off top of the wall and bounce into the right field bleachers and it was called a home run. Cost me the game. Damn Harry Carey curse. Damn starlin Castro.

Different stadium will work, too - Wrigley's the only park I've seen the warping foul balls in. Aside from RTTS you can choose the stadium to play in before every game.

Same problem on a wild pickoff throw to first base:

the ball went into the stands, and stayed there.
My runner had the time to reach third base before any player reached the ball.

Thanks for the reminder, but playing home games at Wrigley was a big part of the decision...

Oh well!

I may have a sort of workaround for this issue, although it probably means disabling trophies for a current game.

After you've seen this bug a few times, you'll have a pretty good idea of when it's going to happen - a pop foul into the front half of the box seats on either side (if it goes too far too fast to the left or right, it won't trigger). When you see this about to happen, pause the game and switch control to the other team. You should be able to control the fielder who was going for the ball, and that will cancel the bug since a user team cannot trigger it (unless they're using auto-fielding).

Obviously, use this at your own discretion - if the pop-up looks playable you're only cheating yourself out of a fair game. This will disable most trophies due to the team switch.

I'm hopeful this gets patched, but I just wanted to put this out there for any other Cubs fans like me who are having a hard time dealing with this.
