Today I saw the strangest thing happen. I was simulating a series in season mode with my team of created players, and the first game of the series, we won by an incredible score of 26 to 3! The next game we lost 2-1,but the final game of the series we won by a score of wait for it.......28-19!  Has anyone else had weird simulated scores like this?

I was pitching and fielding, a dribbler heads between 1B and 2B, and the AI gives me the 1B to field. I move right, assuming I'd have the pitcher or 2B. So the pitcher gets close, and then the AI gives me the second baseman, and then the AI just switches between the two whenever I get close. Eventually the RF has to come in and pick up the ball.

The what-fielder-do-you-get is the biggest bug in this game...must be. How did QA not catch this? The flyouts that drop right in front of the LF or RF, because the AI gave you the SS or 2B that has a much harder time running out that far.....infuriating.

Was running down a pop fly by OF Eric Byrnes, dove for it, and Byrnes SOMERSAULTED after making the catch. I never saw a player somersault before in this game. It was pretty cool to see.

I've seen that a lot of times, and it's awesome when it happens.

So in success mode, when the scout makes you face off against Sittch pitching, I had always swung at everything. But then there was a ball than I let go...and I got a point!! It doesn't count as a pitch either - just 2 or 3 free points for taking balls.

How did I not know this after 120 runs thru success mode!!?

A sacrifice bunt gets 1 point as well, as long as it's a good bunt you'll get 1 point, though that does cost you 1 pitch

Yep... I've passed with all bunts before, but you don't get as much scout eval if you just meet the goal. You get more if you exceed it.

I hit a homerun that hit the foul pole! Never saw that happen (by me or an opponent) before. It was an opposite filed shot, and I was saying "Stay fair! Stay fair!" and it hit the right field pole and bounced left.
