I don't know, but it did not happen to me during a GM Mode game. I played as the Cubs vs. the Reds. Reds had a man on third, two out, slow grounder to short. The third base runner made it across home well before I threw the batter out at first. The Reds did not receive the run.

Take it for what it's worth.

I've got a question about a different, and hardly monumental topic. I finally fired up first-person mode, or action cam, to be exact, and I actually kind of dug it. Call me crazy, but I like the way the pitches look coming in when in this mode, and I did get that "on the field" sensation. I am feeling a little dizzy, though.

Anyway, I noticed that the CPU fielders were blowing plays left and right when I was using action cam. Not even reacting to grounders that were right near them. Sometimes they'd behave as they should, but about 3 out of every 4 plays they'd act like imbeciles.

Would appreciate some feedback on this issue, as I might actually want to delve into action cam some more, but this would prevent me from doing so if there was indeed an issue.

There are also reports of the depth charts and ensuing auto substitutions not working correctly. I have not yet seen any of my backups rotated into the lineup via the percentages on the depth chart. Is it working for anyone else? I know it worked well in last year's game.

Someone else over at gamefaqs is reporting a similar experience with CPU fielders in FP mode. Is it something where the computer is "playing" in FP mode too, and having problems? Sort of like how the CPU couldn't hit with Power Pro hitting last year... or whatever that metered hitting mode was called.

I did see the batting count get reset after a bad pickoff throw.

Had Hollansworth up, with a 7-pitch full count in action. Throw to first to get Sosa was bad, next I thing I know, Hollandsworth is coming up to bat as if he was a new batter.

It was definitely annoying and a bad bug, but I think it occurs rarely enough to not be a game killer. I've only seen it once in about 8 games.
