3. Like Sweed, it seems an even split between me and the CPU on whose runners are getting thrown out.

4. I've yet to see a runner on third thrown out at the plate on an attempted sac fly.
Agree with all of the above observations. I have not seen the pop-up decision pane this version of the game, not once, come to think of it. I actually forgot that feature existed. Was it eliminated?

Particularly given all this base chaos, I'd like to see an option, before the play starts, of "base-coaching". For those who remember APBA, the coach could tell the baserunner(s) to "play it safe" and not go for the extra base. It would mitigate some of the nonsense we are seeing on the bases.
