The opposition singles and wins the game. In the very next game, the TYING run was on second in the bottom of the ninth and we did move in. Is this correct? It seems backwards to me. In the first instance you have to throw out the runner or the game is over, yet the outfield stayed back. In the second example, it simply ties the game and you continue. Also, a line drive double over the outfielder in the second situation is far worse than the first because it then puts the winning run on second instead of just first. My guess is this isn't a bug, but is how it's programmed. If that's the case, make this a settings suggestion because I'd rather have it the other way or have it with the outfield in for both the winning and tying runs.

Are you sure you would want to be in 100% of the time in that situation? These sorts of tactical preferences are what I would have preferred to see on Managers BTW. How often does the guy pull in the outfield, or play the infield out, etc.

Some of what is frustrating about this game is that we don't know what the game says must happen. Some instances we do, like runners not advancing on line drives. That's horrible logic, but at least we know that's the case. .
