I think the frustration is that once the 2B or SS receives the ball - there is no drama to the play. The runner is often short of 3B or just crossing and yet you know the result already. Part of what makes 3-D so great is the drama where you don't know if a runner will be safe or not but as currently coded the drama goes away. Matt said it is one of his to-do fixes so it will get there, and 3-D does keep improving, which is great.
One other note on this, there are just tons of non-bunts that go to the pitcher currently. I watch a lot of real games on TV or attend, and there might be 2 balls in play per game that the pitcher fields and are not bunts. It seems like the average OOTP game now has 5-6. I haven't run data on it, but it is certainly higher than IRL.
