In order to answer Nutlaw's query in another thread, I had to open my game and try to play out a game not involving my team. (I am in commissioner mode.) The schedule screen claims that I can, since every game listed gave me the choice of watching or managing, but when I hit 'manage', I got stuck watching the game play out… painfully slowly.

The option to switch to pitch-by-pitch mode appeared with every pitch thrown, which is odd, considering that it was already in pitch-by-pitch mode. Shouldn't it have been offering the option to switch to single-pitch mode? As it happens it wouldn't've made any difference, since clicking on that had no effect.

And this relates to a thread I started on the topic of overflowing the screen, because the buttons to skip innings and so forth were off the bottom of the screen (I assume, since I couldn't see them).

And, whilst the speeding up of the play-by-play by selecting 'instant' worked, selecting 'minimum' (or 'simple', or whatever it's called) did not. I still got the verbose PBP, though when I've tried that in my own games (which the computer WILL let me manage) it worked perfectly well.
