Things I'd Like To See

These are a few things I would either like to see in the game, or seems to have disappeared from V24 to V25. These are really more animation issues, where the algorithm and the animation may not match up precisely. And these are really minor, but would just add to the enjoyment of watching the play.
1) Runners being thrown out by outfielders at bases other than home. I’m playing 1971 with V25. I played 1970 with V24. In V24, I saw one or two BATTERS thrown out trying to take an extra base. I also saw the occasional runner thrown out by the outfielder going to third. I have not seen that yet with V25, just past the All-star break. I will say that most were by my RFer, Roberto Clemente, whose arm seems to have fallen off drastically from 1970 to 1971. He still had a cannon in 1971.
2) I would like to see caught stealing animation closer sometimes. Right now, it is way too obvious with the ball reaching 2nd, and the runner just barely past the half way point.
3) Occasionally, on the throw for the typical double play, maybe arrive just a little late to first, making the speedy batter safe.
4) There are too many throws from the outfield trying to get the lead runner, which allows the batter to take an extra base. Now, you may say that this is in contrast to #1, but if I saw the occasional lead runner being gunned down, I could change my mind here. But, for the most part, the game logic at many times, would lean to controlling the trail runner, and conceding the lead runner.

Again, these are for the most part just animation issues, and I can imagine that it is not an easy task to program the animation to the algorithm.
