I think these need to be addressed in the new version.

In all my days of playing OOTP, I think I had successfully complete 1 squeeze bunt. This is crazy!

As long as you get the ball down on the ground during a squeeze bunt, that runner will score. Each time I do this in OOTP and the ball gets down and everything, he always gets thrown out at home. Even if its a guy with 4 or 5 for speed! This is so highly unlikely that I rarely attempt the squeeze bunt anymore in the game because its essentially giving up an out at home.

I could understand if the bunt was popped up in the air and there was a double play. Or if the guy missed the bunt and the runner got caught in a run-down or something. But when a guy lays the bunt down and it goes out far enough to where the pitcher has to field it, that runner will score everytime! Not so in OOTP...please fix this issue!
