And if there was any such nonsense built into the game, how in the heck could anyone ever enjoy playing games out?

Just silly.

Every year, without fail, this exact same post is replicated in some form or other and Markus is accused of creating a flaming bag o' poo masquerading as beautifully intricate baseball simulation.

Meanwhile, I go on playing and watching my team win games and my pitchers pitch shutouts (sometimes).....

I always play one pitch and don't have your problem, and judging from comments in this post I'm not in minority here
Thanks bestowed on all, but I wish I could double-thank 'dog for his comments.

Well, add me to the list. 48 "years" and counting in my league, much of it played out in one-pitch mode, and it's crashed maybe once or twice if that much. Certainly not chronically and, guess what, CRASHES MAY NOT BE THE SOLE FAULT OF THIS GAME!

And yes, the thread has been hijacked and sidetracked by the crashing complaint. So, my comment to KentCol is this:

I don't think you are a troll, but you are frustrated by SHORT TERM RESULTS and by not realizing that JAMES SHIELDS AND OTHER "REAL PLAYERS" ARE JUST A BUNCH OF BITS AND BYTES TO THE GAME. Simulated reality does not always mean perfectly mirroring real life in this game. The developer intentionally built RANDOMNESS into this game to make it more interesting. OVER TIME, it will come close to reality but certainly not in, say, a season and a half in your game (I am guessing that you are playing the MLB game that started in 2012, correct?)

Not dumping on you, but give the game a chance. At least hold off on posting stuff like this based solely on limited experience and perspective.
