Bugs, bugs bugs...

In my two days of playing MVP05, I've stumbled accross two bugs so far. Thankfully I've got the PC version, so hopefully they'll be patched at some point.

Firstly, hits with errors on the play aren't scored properly. For example, I hit a ball into the triangle at Fenway with Manny. When Bernie Williams finally got to the ball, his missed it when he grabbed for it. Because of this Manny was able to advance to third. He had an honest double, and moved the third on the error. Instead of crediting him with a double, the whole play is ruled an error, Manny's stats go down, and he's not an earned run when Ortiz knocks him in on the next AB.

Later in that same game I had a similar error/hit situation. Bellhorn hit a shot to the left side of the infield that caused Jeter to have to throw from his back foot. It would've been a close play at first, had the ball gotten there. Bellhorn should've gotted a single, and moved to second on the error, but like Manny, the whole play was ruled an error.

The second error is a minor rounding one. It seems as though the game always rounds up, even if it should be rounding down. It also adds a percentage point to .500 averages for some odd reason.

Example:

Fox & Burnside should both be .333, Nady should be .263, Uribe & Bell are correct, and for some strange reason Stephens has an extra point that he shouldn't have.

What other bugs have you guys noticed so far?

graphics aside, the only other bug i've noticed lately is that sometimes the batter can't pull the trigger. i'll hit the controller swing button and he won't take a swing. maybe it's built into the game, or i'm trying to swing too late. but, i've noticed this lately a couple of times.

The error/earned run bug is real. I ran into a similar situation which was actually more straight forward...see

This really sucks for dynasty/owner mode playing. I didn't mind it during an exhibition, but when I start playing my dynasty I will not be thrilled.

Hopefully this is something that a patch can fix.

The error bug was there last year, too. Apparently, it's too hard for the game makers to differentiate "reached on an error" and "base hit, advanced on an error."

Anyway, don't quite know if this is a glitch or design flaw, but the CPU runners are not very adventurous. They hit a deep fly ball to right against me, with runners on first and third, no outs. The runner on third does not tag up and advance. Also, I have yet to see the runner on third try to run home on a grounder until it gets through the infield.
