also i remember when i played HS ball, and we had the bases loaded, all 3 runners would take a huge lead, and half the time the batter would try a suicide squeeze just to avoid a DP. i do the same thing in ootp2k6, and it works a good 75% of the time.

It sounds like you're playing a completely different game from me, because I can never turn the bases loaded double play when coming home with it.
Also, not really in the mood to get into a baseball strategy argument here, but I must ardently protest. If it's a for sure thing that you have a good chance at doubling up the batter, then you should throw home, agreed. But if the ball is hit to the middle of the infield or to the corners if they are playing back, you always want to go from second to first to avoid the big inning. Any manager would gladly sacrifice that one run with the bases loaded and no outs rather than risking letting three or four more come across.
