Unassisted DP Bug

Citizen Kabuki · 10-15-2002, 08:31 PM

In a few instances in the game (OOTP v4.0c), I've had an issue where a batter lines out to an infielder, who promptly steps on the base that a runner is 'too far off of' and gets the double play. Problem being, aforementioned runner didn't come from that base. My two most recent examples:

(a) Runner on first. Batter lines out to 3B, who steps on 'the base' for the 'DP'. Yikes.
(b) Runner on second. Batter lines out to 1B, who steps on 'the base' for the 'DP'.

In the second example, I suppose an infield shift MIGHT explain the error... and in either case, I figure I'd be okay with it if a throw was made; that would merely be a PbP issue. Otherwise, it may be a bug that needs to be looked into. It happens very few times throughout the course of a season, but when it does, it's annoying! Please look into this or tell me what may be wrong (or if the issue is already being worked on...)

Thanks for your time.

I believe its just a PbP glitch. But I haven't checked to see if the DP, PO, and A are credited properly, if they aren't then that needs to be fixed. (I think the game determines the result LO-DP and then figures out the text after the result)
