Many thanks, Knight, and by extension, Pared as well. If it's just a box score thing, I could care less. If the game summary is correct and the season stats are fine, it's fine by me. I appreciate the timely and helpful reply.

And by the way, I can't wait to see your rosters, Knight--you do yeoman's work and do a helluva job!

Maybe because they are playing the game. Again, no one is obligated to give you ANY information, so stop making demands. Be thankful for what FREE information you are getting from people volunteering their time to type it.

Yes, one bug every 4.3 pages, correct.

I didn't vanish. I had the boxscore glitch/bug whatever it is. I got a hit with A-Rod in the 9th. The game ended and he was listed as going 0-3 when he went 1-4. My team got credited with 3 hits, when it should have been 4. I was concerned at first.

Then I played 9 or 10 more games and haven't seen anything else like this. It hasn't affected me in any way, and to be honest, the game is too f'n awesome to waste my time looking for bugs in Franchise mode stat tracking. If I lose 4 or 5 hits over the course of a season I don't give a rats azz. This happened in my first game and hasn't happened since.

I haven't run into the W/L thing at all, in about 10 or 11 games played. So obviously it's not common. Also, I haven't heard many other people mention the bug Pared talked about. So maybe it's a very rare occurrence, just as my hit not counting turned out to be very rare.

Want to find out for sure? Look for it yourself when you get the game. Don't demand others look for it for you.

So I haven't been on all day, and I jump on and I see 13 pages of bugs. I think to myself, "oh no, I hope this isn't a disaster."

Then I read the 13 pages. Wow.

What about the freezing bug? Has this happened to you? This would be the worst bug I think.

I just picked up the game a couple of hours ago and I ran into a rather crappy glitch in the very first game I played.

I played an exhibition game, as the Altoona Curve against the Akron Aeros. Everything was straight out of the box, no changes to any of the settings or anything.

The glitch occurred with me up 3-0 in the bottom of the first with the bases loaded. My batter hits a ball up the middle, that the pitcher gets a glove on, but only slows the shot down. The shortstop has the play lined up, until he slows down and begins walking toward left-center field. I figured he really didn't have the range and the center fielder was charging hard for the ball as is. So i send my guy from 2nd to score as well, but the center fielder stops FEET from the ball and won't pick it up. After I send my runner from 1st all the way around to score, the catcher finally runs into the picture and slides to the ball, as if he was retrieving a wild pitch from near the backstop.

Thankfully this would be an issue that wouldn't pop-up often, and it was extremely nice to see the opponent's pitcher at least try to knock down a ball hit back up the middle.

No other problems occurred during the game that I noticed, as I won the game 10-1.

No, and nobody else has reported any freezing besides the one guy.

My game didn't advance for about 40 seconds to a minute, but that was because the ball gut stuck on the net behind the plate and took a while to roll down.

That happened in rare instances last year, too. I don't think it happens very often.

Good, because otherwise this game is great and it makes that PS3 purchase in January of this year justified.
