Does anyone know whether there's confirmation on these fixes:
1) Dropped third strikes with runners on at least 1B and 2 outs, the game forces us to make a throw for the out when this should not be the case. (Rule 6.05 I believe)
2) Runners should NOT be credited with a SB on a run and hit where the ball is put in play.

1) Actually, with two outs, the out ALWAYS has to be made at first regardless of baserunners. It is with 0 and 1 out that a runner on 1B makes the throw unecessary.
2) I agree that this was a huge bug last year. Also, on a run and hit where the ball is put in play, runners were given a CS if they were forced or tagged out. This is a huge bug that throws off statistical balance.
I missed this stream and don't really feel like sitting through the archive to mine for one piece of information, so I'll ask you guys:
was anything mentioned re: gameplay about any actual on the field changes in the form of ball physics, the timing window (seems to change every year), hitting and pitching tuning, more variation in hit types, stuff like that? Actual on the field gameplay stuff, not franchise tweaks or animations or anything like that, but how the game plays.
I know that's kind of vague and open ended, but I was just thinking about all the new additions/changes this year and realized I can't remember hearing a single thing about any changes to the actual baseball on the field. I could be forgetting something though. Again I'm not talking about animations, they add hundreds of animations a year. I mean like "increase to balls hit down the line" or "more variation in ball trajectories" or something like that.
