Seriously though, I'll hope for continued improvements in this area as the game matures. The difference between 16 and 18 is phenomenal. Good job guys, keep it up.

If you are getting upset because you see the SS hold on to the ball while runners continue to advance then you are putting way too much stock into what is being visually represented rather than what is in the text. The text is the true telling of the play. The video representation is just that, a representation. It shouldn't be taken literally.
It is kind of like when you see the ball grounded to the first baseman just a couple of feet from the bag and instead of stepping on the bag he waits to flip it to the pitcher & sometimes the batter ends up safe. Well you just have to remember that the video representation of the play in this instance is incorrect. In reality he must have fielded the ball well away from 1st making it a much tougher play than the video representation leads you to believe. When the text and the video don't agree, the text is always right.
