Bugs

[Jzyehoshua]

Hitter stats in watch mode don't update, and are buggy. At one point it displayed "1 for 0" above a hitter, and often doesn't show anything it seems. This is particularly annoying in the MLB NPC exhibition games since it doesn't show stats afterward, nor record them in anyway, making it even tougher to tell how players are doing.

Baserunners don't run with 2 outs. On one play, they hit a double to the wall and the fielder threw to home. The runner behind inexplicably rounded 3B even though the ball had already reached the catcher at home. The runner then scored as the catcher stood on home plate with the ball. -.-

[Jzyehoshua]

There seems to be a bug on this forum. Sometimes I go to regular reply and it erases the whole message without posting. However, if I go to Reply With Quote instead it doesn't do this.

[rdt24]

also had the problem of a throw reaching home on a double well before the runner with the runner still scoring

[rdt24]

not a bug, but find it a little odd you are given the result of a hit when watching simulation straight away. e.g. it will say HIT, and underneath 'double to Right Field' just after contact, which leads to a redundant safe call being shown on the screen at 2nd base, as you have already been told it's a double.

there's also a SAFE call when the ball is thrown to a base with no one on, or running to the base.

also, the crowd always cheers for the batting side when they do well, groan when they don't. i would have assumed that the home team would have been supported rather than batters in general.

[Jzyehoshua]

I just noticed the Range Factor stat in Schedule & Stats>Player Stats>Fielding, isn't calculating properly. It should be (9 * (Assists + Putouts)) / Innings, and be between 1 and 15 or so, but is giving weird numbers in decimals below 1 or ridiculously high like 44.

[Jzyehoshua]

On NPC matches, when going to face a team, it shows the lineup pages of both teams. Problem is, it shows the OPPOSITE hand the players actually bat with! If they bat righty, it shows them as lefties, and vice versa.

[Jzyehoshua]

On World Trade, when you initiate a Trade Offer, it says on the screen 'Enterd' - misspelled without the 'e'.

[Jzyehoshua]

The game keeps timing out and freezing up when trying to go to 'WCT' from the In-Season menu.

[Jzyehoshua]

In Vs. NPC, when clicking the checkbox for VS MLB Teams, the description has a typo. It says "so you can experiment with you roster".

Yeah, the safe call seems a bit redundant. In real life, they wouldn't call safe if just throwing to the base ahead of a runner, unless the runner was sliding into the base.

[rdt24]

Had the team color 'NL Lineup' in place, which said raised the contact for each NL player in the description - however the power for all my players was up by +1, not the contact.

[Jzyehoshua]

A bug is having my Setup man close for all the save situations instead of my Closer, having gotten 10 opportunities even though he hasn't once been set as Closer.

[Dodgertown]

When a pitcher fields a comebacker, he never tries to turn two or get the force out at 2nd.

[Dodgertown]

Here's a bug...the game is too damn addicting!

[Jzyehoshua]

My closer has pitched 4 games with 4 saves and has a 0.00 ERA, yet has somehow been involved in 8 Save Opportunities! Clearly the SVO stat in Schedules & Stats > Player Stats > Pitching is messed up.

[murph17]

also had the problem of a throw reaching home on a double well before the runner with the runner still scoring
+1

i wanted to charge the virtual field and bump the virtual ump when they called my guy out at home and he was safe by a mile.

[Jzyehoshua]

In NPC Match>Dream Teams>Advanced, the descriptions for both All Stars 2010 teams have typos. They say, "The team consisting of National League players that where selected to play in the 2010 All Star Games.

1st typo: 'were' is misspelled
2nd typo: There was only one All-Star game in 2010 between both the AL and NL, so it would be 'Game' not 'Games'.

[Dodgertown]

Visually the players are swinging and being ringed up for a "strike out looking". They are also not swinging and being dinged for "striking out swinging." Doesn't happen everytime, just a couple times per game.

[Jzyehoshua]

In Player Fielding Stats, it says my starting right fielder for the last 29 games, Carlos Quentin, has gone all 29 games and 266 innings played without a putout, without an assist, and without an error! 0 Total Chances. That has to be a bug not showing his stats - right?

O.O

[Jzyehoshua]

Just in case, I swapped him out for my DH, Eric Young... :S

Either way, it would be an error with game mechanics. There's no way a player should humanly be able to play 266 defensive innings without recording either an out or a chance at an out. I don't care if it's Barry Bonds with both legs cut off at the knee, he should be able to record an out sooner or later.

[Jzyehoshua]

The skill 'Speed Merchant' says in the description, "(Rn +2, Cl +1)". It should say, "(Rn +2, Ct +1)" since it is for Run/Contact not Run/Clutch, and raises Contact +1, not Clutch.

[Neo Cortex]

This isn't really a bug, but should be fixed. In the chat, the filter doesn't allow the word "clutch". Seeing as how it is a stat in the game, it should probably be allowed in chat.

[CrisLander]

There is a bug that I've been hit with twice, at least. Sometimes when looking at a game with the Quick Sim scoreboard, a team might score a run on a given inning but when you check on the play-by-play summary of the inning, the summary does not include the info that the run was scored. It does not affect the game scoring or anything, but all play-by-play inning summaries after the one where the rror happened will not show this run, so the score in these summary pages is not correct.

[Dodgertown]

I have yet to see a player tag up from 2nd to 3rd, even on a long fly ball to right field.

[The Dusty Bunch]

Have Votto on my team, yet in player album he is not showing up. Lists 17/31 Reds when it should be 18 and Juan Francisco's profile has a picture of Johnny Gomes

[rdt24]

have just had 2 pitchers throw back-to-back complete games, both pitching close to 170 pitches each. Apart from Tim Wakefield, I don't think any pitcher has been allowed to do that since the 1980s...

[Neo Cortex]

Do you mean you had one starter pitch a complete game, then the following game the next starter pitched a complete game? It's not common, but it happens. It happened four times last season: http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/7040

[rdt24]

my problem was with both pitchers being allowed to throw 170 pitches each, the CGs were coincidental to my point :)

[rdt24]

had the bar on the bottom of the screen (with the volume, help etc...) disappear on me a couple of times today - has this happened to anyone else?

[rdt24]

I find it very funny that Kendry Morales' name was censored in chat, but some much ruder things are not censored (when typed, it showed K.M**es) :)

[rdt24]

noticed fielders usually tend to run on the spot after catching liners

[Weebs]

I noticed on one of my games that the points I was awarded while watching the sim were different than my final points. The game ended with a walkoff 3-run HR, and I had a total of 1700 points, but when it went back to the main screen and did the quick sim, it only gave me like 800.

[Jzyehoshua]

For the Scouting Analysis Support card, it says it's only for pitchers in the description, yet can be used for Fielders also.

[TheWizard]

you cant say whole in the chat area either.

[The Dusty Bunch]

Have Votto on my team, yet in player album he is not showing up. Lists 17/31 Reds when it should be 18 and Juan Francisco's profile has a picture of Johnny Gomes

Still looking for this issue to be corrected, currently with 22/31 Reds, yet lists 21.

[rdt24]

May be just the settings on campus on IE, but I cannot access the chat function from the computers, when clicking, it asks if I want to navigate away from the page, and then just refreshes the page afterwards.

[The Dusty Bunch]

no games at 8AM PST

[Neo Cortex]

I just noticed the site is undergoing emergency maintenance. The missed games is probably related to that.

Wonder what needed the quick fix that couldn't wait until the schedule update this evening?

[Edward@Sega]

Thanks everyone -- just to let you know that I will definitely send all of these along.

Regarding maintenance, it seems likely any lost games were from that.

Regarding the defensive players running in place -- yeah, I noticed that too. I will definitely report it, it may or may not be easy to fix. The play is still going and so the fielder is still "active"; it doesn't affect the outcome of the play at all but graphically, it would be nice if it could be cleaned up :)

I'll look over the rest of these and throw in my two cents on anything relevant ... other than that, thank you to everyone so far for being so active and diligent! I was already excited about this game and seeing an engaged community helping us out makes me look forward to release even more.

[GiantsWorldChamps!]

little bug Doug Davis action photo is showing Dave Bush.

Also when I hit a HR with runners on and the points are say 200 it'll add it up correctly and then drop about 50 or 100 points off what should have been the total.

[rdt24]

I had 2 games in a row in which I had more than 2000 points, therefore I looked through these games to find out what caused this.

In both cases it was from R.Furcal reaching 200 hits, which is obviously wrong. I have checked my stats, and it still says that he has only 200 hits, when he should have more...

[CrisLander]

When trying to trade with friends, if they're not online, you can't see their available players. I don't know if this is by design, but I'd think you should be able to see someone else's team even if they're offline.

[rdt24]

@CrisLander

I can see friends players when they are offline. Either it's a bug specific to you, or your friends players cannot be seen for other reasons, e.g. they have used up all their trade tickets for the day, or the player you are looking for is in their active lineup, etc....

[CrisLander]

Maybe it's a coincidence and they have all used their trade quota for the day..

[CrisLander]

So I ended up with Nellie Cruz as the batting AVG. champion, the RBI champion, and regular season MVP. However, in the Awards screen, the batting AVG. and RBI awards appear, but the regular season MVP does not appear. Is this a bug, or perhaps it will only appear at the end of the championships? If anyone ended with the season MVP, please, let me know if you can see it in the awards screen.

On a curious note, though, even though I ended up with these three titles, I didn't win the player of the day award even once.

Man, I'm going to miss Nellie Cruz.

[Weebs]

Pujols won RBI and HR title, as well as MVP, but the MVP award doesn't show up for me either.

He was also .001 in AVG away from winning the Triple Crown. :(

[GiantsWorldChamps!]

I didn't get my MVP award for the season end either. Got the the one for most wins though.

[CrisLander]

Well, I think it is officially a bug. Season MVPs are not showing.

[CrisLander]

Another bug I've noticed. When using quick sim, if the game goes to extra innings, the scoreboard will already show the extra innings before showing the results. Normally the scoreboard should only show 9 innings and the extra innings get added as needed..

[TheWizard]

my pujols won Avg title and it shows..im not sure..maybe its just a glitch

@Crislander..yeah ive noticed that

[Jzyehoshua]

Just found a new glitch. When going to the 'Show' button by Order Analysis on the Roster page, it shows different lineup cohesion than when going to the Analyze tool. Some guys who are blue in the same order for the Show button aren't in Order Analysis, even when having Updated. I suspect it may be due to the use of a Support Card enhancing cohesion, and it updates for the Order Analysis section, but not the Show button.

On another note, they still haven't fixed one of the stats problems on the Schedule & Stats > Player Stats page. Save Opportunities still shows a number higher than the number of games a closer has pitched in. However, Range Factor and WHIP both work now I notice, so glad to see they've fixed those too :)

[Jzyehoshua]

Also, it says 'The lineup spawned a team color' even when you change the pitching so a team color option is removed. This is wrong on 2 counts, first, it's the pitching staff, not the lineup, and secondly, it didn't 'spawn' a color but removed it.

[Jzyehoshua]

When you go to a trade, it doesn't show the Skills or Stats tabs, so that you can't see defensive position ratings for a player. This makes little sense, since it's one of the most important things to know when making a trade, and forces you to look the player up to make the choice, hunting all over the site for the information. Information that should be just shown there.

[CrisLander]

I've just been hit by what also appears to be not really a bug but a major oversight. I've made a trade to get Wainwright (Thanks, commish4lif) but since he was moved from the rotation to the bench in order to be traded, now I can't insert him into my rotation until 48 hours have passed! That makes absolutely no sense.

[Frogsox]

It's a rule to stop people from manipulating their rotation so that they can gain favourable match ups and give more games to their best starters. I think the rule makes sense when you consider how it could be abused if there wasn't said rule.

[comish4lif]

Man, that sucks. I can you having to put him last in your rotation or something like that. But 48 hours? That whole 48 hour rule is wrong. WHat is that, 30 games? That's too long by about 25 games.

[Frogsox]

Misread your comment. I didn't realise a player you traded for is still locked on arrival. Bummer. That would go down as a bug/oversight in my book.

[CrisLander]

Yeah, it totally sucks. And since there are only 3 days left including today, it appears I won't be able to use him until halfway through the last day of the season.

[Frogsox]

I hope when he does come in he has a blinder.

That could be the reason, but it's heavy handed. I can only make 2 trades per day - so, it's not as if I can swap a pair of 9-10 pitchers back and forth all day. And as far as managing my own roster, 48 hours is 30 starts (or about that), and that'd be like a major league team skipping a guy, and not being able to put him back in the rotation for a month. That's not right. If it's 5-10 games, I could accept that. 48 hours? Overkill.

[Frogsox]

Yeah, I misread the Cris' post. I agree that 48 hours is way too long. At first I thought Cris meant he took the pitcher out of his lineup to trade and then wanted to put him back in.

Yeah - MLB too, nobody misses a month in the rotation just to move from one spot in the rotation to another. If they missed 2 weeks people would be calling for the manager's head. The rule is at least twice as bad as it should be - 24 hours would be pushing it. 30 games is 1/5 of the season just to move a pitcher in the order. And to have it count from the LAST team so you can't use pitchers received from trades? That's just ridiculous, and has to be a glitch.

[comish4lif]

Yeah, I misread the Cris' post. I agree that 48 hours is way too long. At first I thought Cris meant he took the pitcher out of his lineup to trade and then wanted to put him back in.

Knowing this, I'm much less inclined to acquire a good starting pitcher, unless the owner can assure me that he hasn't been in his rotation for 48 hours. I feel bad, I'm the guy who traded Adam Wainwright to Cris. He's Adam Wainwright, a "9" starting pitcher - of course I had him in my rotation.

[Frogsox]

Totally understood. I'd leave trading SP until the butt end of the season when you know where you stand and can get away with it.

[omgomg]

Totally understood. I'd leave trading SP until the butt end of the season when you know where you stand and can get away with it.

It's a bug, one way or the other. I traded for a SP in someone else's rotation, he was usable the instant I got him.

FORUM BUG

as a thread owner I should be able to delete the thread.
At least as long there are no replies.

[Neo Cortex]

I found a bug in my schedule during today's tournament. It doesn't show the next game coming up, instead it shows the game after that. For example, after I won the Round 1 game, my next game on the schedule was the Round 3 game two hours later. After I won Round 2, my next game showed as the upcoming Round 4 game.
