Stat errors, Scoring bugs

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..

Gameplay bugs

Quote: Originally Posted by davesandstorm

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..

Commentary issues, Annoucner bugs

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.

Sorry tribeking, I hijacked your post for the greater good. -Chief



So far the game is really good- I'd give it 7.5 stars out of 10 so far, impressed by the graphics, the looks of the stadiums, the crowd is awesome, commentary is great, and such. But out of 6 games so far - two have frozen on my system not allowing me to do anything else during the games..had to reboot my PS3 and wait for the long load up again. I hope this is not a continuous thing in this game And I am still able to throw out runners to first on shots in right like last year.....

you sure u not playing 2k baseball. cuz i cant throw out the runner at first base. and the frozen thing sorry man.that weird.

[tribeking]

My system is only like two weeks old. My friends laser or something burned out of his unit and he had it replaced at Best Buy...but this game is first time seeing the freeze issue thus far....and if the ball is a short hopper to RF- whom I have Franklin Gutz- he has a cannon- so maybe that is not an error, but the freeze issues I am hoping were flukes.

Did the game freeze when you hit a foul ball back behind the plate?

I will go ahead and make this the official bugs and glitches thread.

[tribeking]

Actually, yes on one of them...the other was a long drive to my centerfielder and then after I ran and scooped- wham- frozen...which stunk cause I was winning

Rob did yours freeze like this. I hope this is not going to be a problem i will have the game tomorrow(got it today but its at my buddies house) so i guess i will find out soon enough

[COMMISSIONERHBK9]

i hit the ball behind home plate with against my friend and mines didnt freeze. but then again i have a japanese ps3. so i dont know if that matters

[Pared]

No freeze in that scenario here.

The box score is messed up with the pitching stats... at least the one I saw. Closing pitcher was missing but the line score was correct.

Whenever I try Quick Play, the game exits out to the XMB (tried it 3 times) but exhibition and franchise worked fine, my friend tried quick play on his PS3 with his own copy and quick play worked fine.

I do have an 80GB and my friend has a 60GB, not sure if it's a disc issue or PS3 issue.

Edit: I tried my friends copy in my PS3 and Quick Play still didn't work, the game exited out to the XMB. So, it's a PS3 issue it seems. Anyone else with an 80GB have this problem?
