I'm seeing ultraconservative baserunning, too. Scoring from second on a single isn't the norm. Runners stay at third on a ground ball to a middle infielder, even if the infield is playing back.* The TOOTBLANs have always been an issue -- guys trying to take an extra base when the game situation says hell no -- but holding when they shouldn't hold is something I hadn't seen before.
*I know the animation can't be trusted to show you exactly what's happening, but if the infield is back and it's a 6-3, how often does the runner not score?
