That was a bug brought on by the third patch and then corrected by the 3rd patch fix. I never downloaded it, hence I don't have that problem. I agree it would be a huge deal for me as well. I guess I am just worried about the so called freezing glitch that seems to be attributed to the third patch. So far, the only difference I can see between patch 2 and the new 3 is the dropped ball 4 error. I can keep this from happening to my play by not pitching a ball in the dirt with 3 balls, but I can't do anything about the CPU catcher. If that is the only thing the patch will fix for me then it doesn't make sense to take the chance. Unless of course there are things I am unaware of.
