I don't think it's something that can be tracked (no clue if it is in real life either), but if you are down big late and steal a base the CPU catcher doesn't throw down and your player isn't credited with a stolen base in the box score. Forgot to check the game log to see if it was mentioned...

Nice! The catcher doesn't throw down? Mmm...I think I'm in love.

Considering threads get started about everything around here, I'm surprised I haven't heard about this yet.

That said, I actually haven't attempted one (until now), because they used to ALWAYS throw down and it was too risky.

Excellent addition. Thanks for sharing.

They are probably still trying to still figure out what defensive indifference is and busy filling out the bug report on why the catcher did not throw to second.

great find. I noticed this too. I only pitch and when it is the 9th inning and two outs, I switch to the cpu quick and have them steal the base, while I let myself throw a strike and control the cpu batter so he does not swing.

I tried this and noticed it also, mr. jeezy. I looked in the game log and I think it did not mention anything.

You are a GENIUS, Mr. Jeezy.

So even though I've known about it for at least the past two years, I just got burned on using up my bench and having guys out of position, because we STILL cannot swap defense positions once you use up the last bench player.
I got stuck with Pedroia catching & Saltalamachia in LF for 3 extra innings.

Has SCEA ever acknowledged this?

Such a seemingly 'simple' flaw to fix in a great game that deals nicely with a lot of other rules to follow.

I JUST finished a game and did this twice in the 12th inning, down 5, but also forgot to check the boxscore!

I didn't realize it was "new."

I'll take a look...aaand fixed.

I get severely irked by the lack of urgency on some of the fielding plays. Can be frustrating at times.
