**MLB 08: The Show (All versions) Bugs/Glitches Thread**

Mine didn't freeze, but I thought it locked up. When a batter hit a foul ball, the game didn't want to continue. I was left controlling the catcher. I guess what happened was that the ball got stuck (or was rolling really, really, really slowly) off the net behind HP. I waited about 30-40 seconds, then all of a sudden the ball came rolling off the net and onto the grass, right away the game continued.

Also, I was robbed of a hit. In my first game, I got a hit with A-rod in the 9th. After the game finished, as I looked over the line score, it had my team getting 3 hits. Jeter was 3-3, A-Rod 1-4, everybody else hitless, damn Santana. That should of been 4 hits, not 3! So I checked the boxscore and A-Rod was listed as 0-3. When he was 1-4.

I'm guessing (hoping) this is a boxscore/scoring glitch that won't affect stats. And no, it wasn't an error. It was a clean single to LF. And the Mets weren't charged any errors in the game.

I just had the scoring bug that was present in the demo pop up on me. I played a 14 inning game, A's vs. Giants, and I hit a 2 run walkoff bomb with Eric Chavez to give me an 8-6 win, but the game registered the final score as 7-6.

Wow, I am shocked that SCEA would let this happen with box scores. I cant even understand how they would release it like that if they are all about realism.

I asssume since were talkin As, Giants and Yanks Mets that you guys were playin exibitions. Hopefully this doesnt go on during seasons or I'll keep 07. Stats are everything in baseball.

So far, I found some commentary bugs. They don't bother me, but I did not notice many of these errors on MLB 07 as in 08. On one, the anouncer said in between innings that I was losing when infact the game was tied 0-0. And on another, at the end of the game the anouncer mention a different name as the player of the game.. ie, Smoltz was "player of the game" and the anouncer said it was Hudson...humm..ok!! as Rex would say!..lol

Other then that, I really haven't found any other faults. I'm not really looking at the box scores for stats bugs that others are seeing. I just played two exhibition games, Yankees vs Mets and Cubs vs Braves. So far so good, the game is great! these commentary bugs are no big deal. I can live with them the game is so good!!

But these things happen every year. We love this game, but many of us are still waiting for a release completely free of those nagging type bugs. We're still waiting, apparently.

yeh that is true who am i kidding anyway of course im gonna buy it. But man that will stink if RBIS and hits are not accurate. I could care less what the final score reads.

This has been addressed...its not a bug...its more of a Robin Ventura in 1999. Go look up walkoff homer on Wikipedia they can explain it a bit

Poor Robin never made it past 1st base..........he went right into the mob scene.

A good unselfish player, all he cared about is that they got the win...not that he hit a walk off bomb to get it

Has anyone checked if this was a rule change this year?
