Is anyone working on fixing the sort of rediculous play by play text that we see over and over. Over the last two games I've played alone. I have had a pop up behind he plate caught by the firstbaseman one day, then by the pitcher the next. I've had outfielders "settle under" "dying quails", while balls "Skied" to the outfield drop for hits--I've even had a play where there's runner heading home, the ball is cutoff and thrown to third, where the CATCHER makes the tag. Outfielders dive on the warning track recover and throw to second for close plays, but almost never throw home under any circumstance. Guys slide into third, having "legged" out a tripple. Balls hit hard at infielders result in infield hits when the fielder decides to hold the ball.

OOTP is such a good game, in so many ways--there has to be a way to give us the ability to force throws to the plate and other bases, to send runners for the extra base sometimes and there has to be a way to structure the play by play to avoid ludicrous descripions. I mean, other games do this--it would seem that given all the complex stuff that Marcus et al, have dealt with so well, and made work, that fixing the game play should be doable.
