Playing OOTP and waiting for Power Pros I guess, its not the best but its fun.

If that's the only time it's happened I would just move on.
The way my games are it doesn't matter if it's a 6 run or 5 run lead for the CPU. 99% of the time I don't come back from that much late in a game.
I would have just beaned the next batter and kept playing.

Yea, I tried Old Man's sliders last night and now I am itching to play again.

Phillies (me) vs. Braves. I scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th to come back and regain the lead 7-5, still nobody out, Chase Utley at first. I try to steal second on a 0-1 pitch with Ryan Howard at the plate. I swing and miss at the pitch and Utley is thrown out at second. So there should be 1 out, 0-2 count to Howard.

Instead there is 1 out, and Pat Burrell comes up to bat. Then, after I battle with Burrell, I get an infield single of Chipper Jones' diving glove. He then holds the ball forever, so I try to advance and retreat Burrell to make something happen. Burrell is then run down and tagged out...for a double play and the inning is over. Very Strange.

Two games now this has happened where the camera just gets stuck on one spot of the field. All the audio is fine and I can still pause, but its completely stuck there.

I've had to fast forward to the next half inning both times. Which sucks cause both situations were very tight games.

3 more I have recently noticed. All on PSP.

In one instance, I was the team on defense. 2 outs, baserunner @ 3rd only, nobody on 1st and 2nd. I walked the batter and somehow the BR @ 3rd came in to score as if the bases were loaded and he was forced home but there was no one on 1st and 2nd, very odd. At that time it helped the CPU get from 5-3 to 5-4 so needless to say I was a bit irritated.

Another instance is how I can access the opposing team's (CPU) bullpen for some odd reason. Usually this happens whenever I press START after the teams switch sides. I access the bullpen and it's the other team's. But when I quit back out to the main menu and go back to the bullpen it's fine. Not a big issue but something that should probably be fixed.

And this one happened twice already. Dunno if mentioned already, but..

Whenever you're at bat and the opposing pitcher runs a pitch into your batter's sprite/body figure or whatever you wanna call it , the batter makes no attempt in trying to get out of the way (sometimes that leg kicking motion to avoid the pitch running in just plain doesn't show). Okay, that's weird but still tolerable. But what happens on the next pitch is that your batter avoids a pitch for no freaking reason, regardless of whether it was inside or not (and most of the time that next pitch would be nowhere near hitting the batter) and that led me to a lot of grief because both times my batter struck out "looking" when I could've fouled the pitch off or something.

I don't think its a glitch, but it is an issue.

Too many players are rated too high and teams will minor league roles by signing players with high ratings.

The entire roster system is slightly messed up - I don't know how it can be fixed, but it needs to be addressed.

[bfindeisen]

One major glitch I see all the time:

CPU pitchers who have given up 1 or 2 earned runs will pitch up to 130+ pitches. Once pitchers reach like 100 pitches their energy stays at like 10% and the CPU will allow them to keep pitching until they give up like another 3 runs. So stupid. The CPU Manager A.I. is horrendous again! You almost never see 7th and 8th inning specialists and sometimes they'll bring in the closer with like 1 or 2 outs in the 9th rather than just having him start the inning!

[CoRruPt-]

New bug (PSP), again...

I am the side pitching, and the CPU has a runner on 3rd, 1 out. Hitter at the plate hits it out to shallow left, the left fielder catches it. For some odd reason, the runner at 3rd was able to run... straight back to 1st base?! Without mentioning the fact that just doesn't make sense, the game's controls don't even let you do that... once you're at 3rd, you can either make a run for home or stay there. As a result I easily threw out that runner, but that was just a HUGE WTF for me.

was playing my franchise Astros vs Rays i ended up winnign 10-4 but during that game Hunter Pence got injured for 6+ months torn his tendon. When the game was over the game I just won listed as never played yet. The stats,the injury all from that game were counted. I backed out of the schedule went back and now I had the win, so I saved the game and turned off the PS3 for the day. I was going to fix my team after Pence's injury later. So later that day i turn the game back and and of course when i load the franchise, that game is back to being shown as unplayed on my schedule, but Pence injury is still there. Pence's injury however went from 6+ months to 1day which pissed me off because i was looking forward to working around him being hurt. I had to sim the game i played and i won 10-4 again but now everyone has extra stats for an extra game they never really played it and pences injury was gone. I have not tried the next game yet to see if it does it again. Anyone get a bug like this yet. UPDATE *********** Bad news its still doing it at least the schedule thing.When I finish a game it exits back to the my schedule as we all know for those that play it. That game i just played is still shown as unplayed...I have to back out of the schedule save it on my own, auto saved will not work. Then i have to go back to the main menu load the game and then that game will be played like i just did with all my stats etc. If i forgot to save it on my own and just trust the auto save it will not work and still have the game unplayed but keep all my stats. I love this game and this can be a game ending bug,Someone here must know a link I can email the people who made this game...to tell them about this bug. I posted on the main forums at sonys show website but no luck there. Can anyone help me find the right person to email

I just had this happen to me. Michael Bourn was injured running to 3rd base. All my players fatigue levels are jacked up too.
