This didn't just happen in my franchise, either. This was also happening in my RTTS as well.

Wow. Everytime I've seen those playes the 3rd baseman gets it if it's in third and the 2nd baseman and shortstop get if I'm in that area. The catcher only goes behind the plate and around halfway to 3rd and first base at the most.

I even saw the catcher drop a pop up at second base. Those should not be happening.

This happens all the time to me, the catcher tries to go and catch a ball that's in the infield or even in the outfield(about 10-15 feet outside the infield).

Just a tip if you haven't done this, if it's your catcher going after the pop up just press L2(I think) to switch to the closest player to where the ball is going to land. But for the CPU you can't do anything about it.

i know this has been mentioned before so please forgive me...i am playin the Cubs in my first season game against teh Brew crew with Knight's rosters, etc. Cubs up 4-1...Branyan gets up as a PH for the BrewCrew, hits a HR to right field...he rounds the bases, touches home, next batter up, and Branyan is standing on second base. WTF?? does this happen often? i ended the inning and Branyan was on second the whole rest of that inning, but, if someone would have knocked him in, he would have scored twice that inning?? that is absurd. any way around this?

This has probably been reported already... but.

On the PSP version, the game locks up whenever I attempt to do a double switch. What happens is that after my team switches over to bat, the "positional player on the mound" prompt pops up then it asks for a double switch. So I do that, but then the same dialog come up again prompting me to do a double switch. And whether or not I press OK or cancel, it'll freeze up. Extremely annoying as I'm playing with a National League team where double switching is a necessity. I also tried saving the game in progress first before the half inning ends, but when I boot the saved game up again, it just freezes up whenever the half inning ends. This NEEDS to be fixed in the next edition, it's just such a big problem. For now, I think I can bypass it by leaving my PP on the mound, then do a defensive sub with another guy I wanna switch out, then switch out my pitcher, but that seems to be such a hassle..

Also, sometimes fielders act weird, for both me and the CPU. The infielder will sometimes just stand there like a tree and not respond to a ball that's rolling right towards them. Happens to outfielders also which turns into extra base hits. I had CPU reaction speed slider set to a reasonable amount (I had it around the default). Hmm.

This one pissed me off enough that I'm probably done with the game.

Game tied at 0 in the 5th inning. The CPU had bases loaded with 2 outs, hits a double to the left center gap to clear the bases. Takes a 3-0 lead, so a runner on 2nd with 2 outs. The next batter hits a homerun to left field. The CPU is credited with a 3-run homerun, 6-0 lead. Seriously, I bought a PS3 for this?

I love the game, but this has just ruined it for me.

Wow. I've never heard of this one before. Sounds pretty frustrating. So what are you going to do for your mlb fix since your done with the show?
