Another scoring bug:

Single, single, passed ball, so there are runners on second and third. The next hitter singles, scoring both runners.

The way this would actually be scored in MLB: one earned run for certain (the guy on third who would have scored from second), possibly more depending on how the rest of the inning played out.

The way OOTP scored it: no earned runs, since the players advanced at least one base due to an error/passed ball. I know from experience that it would be the same if they'd scored on a home run, which is completely silly.

When I brought up the fact that earned runs are not calculated at the moment the runs score in MLB (with OOTP 11 or 12 - I can't remember), I was told "it's too difficult" to fix. I'm not happy with that answer, but I assume it's still operative now. Thus, here's my temporary stopgap solution:

The game needs to at least get the scoring right at the moment the runs cross the plate. Right now, it's not even doing that, or one of those two runs would have been earned.
