Pick offs and Balks

Khaos · 03-20-2002, 04:57 AM

All these games I played and I just realized, there aren't any Pick Offs or Balks. Am I wrong? Did I just miss them when they happened? I think they should be added at some time.

You are incorrect, Balks at least are in the game.... (I remember seeing a balk or two)

I'm not sure if Pickoffs are in the game (I think I might have seen one, but I'm not positive).

I've seen a few balks in OOTP4 (and OOTP3), but never a pickoff.

Pickoffs are history - haven't seen one. Balks are there - I always get them in the bottom of the ninth, the bases loaded and the winning run on third.

Pickoffs don't happen; the pitcher never even throws to first. This is something that would really add to the game, and would make the pitchers hold rating a LOT more significant.

Had one of those pesky balks last night with runners on second and third in the eighth inning with the score tied at 4-4. Ended up losing 6-4.
