Actually, I don't think there is much here which is particularly new (doesn't mean it's good, just well documented). So, I'll try to keep this simple:

1. If you call your own plays, and you play one-pitch, you are going to see some undesirable things happen. You are venturing into the ragged edge of AI controls/you control. In fact, players do foul out trying to SH. The AI doesn't know that you would never, ever bunt with two strikes. It makes the best interpretation it can.

2. There is a known bug in which: a run (or two) scores when there are two outs, and a runner is thrown out on essentially the same play (batter or another baserunner). The game will not record the run as an ER charged to the pitcher. That's just what happens. Maybe it will be fixed in v.11.

3. The ball animation is erratic and wacky and absolutely irrelevant.

4. The game design requires that every vacancy in the lineup be filled immediately. This has engendered lots and lots of complaints. Don't know what the prospects are for getting this fixed. It may be a fundamental game design problem that will only get fixed if Markus gets one of his inspirations.

Don't know if that covers everything. If not, post some more.
