There is a pretty big mistake in how OOTP scores earned runs.


If a batter reaches on an error and then is thrown out when the next batter reaches on a fielder's choice, and THEN the batter that hit into the FC scores (before another out is recorded) the game counts that runner as an Earned Run.

That is wrong. That runner is still on base because of the error (as in, it would have been a routine ground-out for the 2nd out of the first runner had been thrown out as per normal), so any run he scores is unearned.
