Yeah, I've had the black bars the past few years as well. It's not your TV as mine was professionally calibrated and I have the same issues. It's just the way it is on some HDTV's. I've never been able to get a clear answer as to why.

The only way around it is to do what JT30 stated. It doesn't stretch out the picture un-naturally.

Are you guys playing the game in letter box format? That's all I can think of.

The ball is dead. When such wild throw is the first play by an infielder, the umpire, in awarding such bases, shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the ball was pitched; in all other cases the umpire shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the wild throw was made; ....and I don't believe he can be awarded first base on that play...so he is ruled safe and then given two bases...(I'm pretty sure) M.K.

HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME WITH THE ACTUAL RULES!!!

Obviously just kidding and thank you for pulling that up as I did not realize/remember that being the rule. You would think playing baseball for a total of 20 years I would have known that, but maybe I am just getting to the point in my life where my mind is deciding that a good memory is overrated

Just turned the sweetest 6-3-1 double play !
Now I am not saying you dont see simular plays but some of these animations are dead on and so different .
No two simular plays look alike if that makes sense,
Its like its alive ?
This game is what Madden should have been to football 2 years ago.
