Here's an odd one.

I'm playing RTTS, and right now I'm in spring training with the Blue Jays. I get on base, and Gibbons brings in Lyle Overbay to pinch hit. I see him warming up in the on deck circle, only to see Frank Thomas actually step into the batters box.

Check swing and made contact.. a little dribbler to first base. Everyone on the field was frozen except for the baserunner. I was able to run around the bases and score.

Not a 'bug' but In my RTTS career, I was at bat and told to Hit and Run, I hit the ball foul and the cutscene showed me stopping between 1st and 2nd and retreating to 1st. Obviously it should have been the guy on first and not me.

for two straight exhibition games...both on the road....at the end of the game, either my 7th and 8th inning pitchers didn't show up in the box score. Or like in last night's game at Wrigley, the closer...Troy Percival want not listed---although at the end of the game, the PA announcer did mention that Percival got the save....

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Rod....just so you know, the stats should still be tracked, even though they're not showing up in the boxscore. It's just a clerical error with the boxscore, nothing more.

edit: Well, since you were playing exhibition they wouldn't be tracked, but you know what I mean.

oh, ok...thanks....I was fearing the worse for when I got my franchise underway,,,

ok, yesterday i hit a 3run walkoff HR with D. Barton, i know all about the walkoff HR bug...
but i thought that the stas would still be tracked...for my surprizes the HR got tracked, but the correct number of RBIs didnt...
D.Barton before that HR had 1HR and 4RBI after that it should be listed 2HR and 7RBI , but when i looked at his stats it was listed: 2HR and 5RBI, so they credit him the HR , but as if it was a solo HR...
arrrrrrrrrrrrg


anyways, Rod, im tired of seeing that Relivers bug too...if i make a double switch than its evan worst..the hole Boxscore gets messed up.

Honestly I'm not going to read 50 pages of posts. So, sorry if this has already been mentioned

This is the only STAT bug I have encountered. On two separate occasions I have hit the ball in the gap at Minute Maid with Ty Wigginton. I have managed to get triples off both. Matt V. even comments on the triple. However, I'm only recorded with a double. That really stinks. Because triples are a rare thing with people like Wiggington. I hope they fix this. Not a game breaker, but really annoying.

I meant only the reliever bug is a clerical error - the walkoff bug does affect the season stats (at least I guess so, seeing as I still haven't seen a multi-run walkoff)

I actually had the reliever thing happen just now because of a double switch. Yovani Gallardo was the only pitcher listed for Milwaukee, going 6 innings. Torres came in on a DS in the 7th, and was not listed in the boxscore. However....he WAS correctly credited with the save, both in the postgame wrap screen and the season stats (he pitched the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings of an 11-4 blowout). He even batted once in those three innings, and was listed with an AB. This isn't new that the reliever bug is only cosmetic, it's just that comes up so often in this thread that it needs explaining.

edit: Wanted to clarify: Torres got credit for ALL his stats in that game, not just the ones I mentioned. I was just highlighting a few of them.

This has happened twice already. When playing with the Braves, if John Smoltz is the winning pitcher and named player of the game, the announcer refers to him as "The Bulldog" Tim Hudson.
