One thing that I really hope has been changed is the CPU's propensity to suicide squeeze late in ballgames. I played two games yesterday and I saw this in both of them. It is a real game killer.

First game, tied in extra innings. Players on first and third one out. CPU successfully suicide squeezes to take the lead.

Second game, CPU down 3-2 in the top of the 8th. Bases loaded, one out. CPU batter whiffs on the bunt attempt and the runner is tagged out at the plate. Rally over.

This tactic is so prevalent in late inning situations that I have gotten really good at predicting when it will occur. If you have a tied or one run game in the late innings, runner on third, less than 2 outs, the cpu will try this once during an at bat. It doesn't matter who is at the plate.

I know there had been some mention of tuning bunts in the streams, but it seemed more geared toward online play. The CPU's tendencies need to be adjusted.
