[edit] Rule Changes
In the game there are a few exceptions to normal baseball rules. If a runner is caught stealing to end an inning the player at bat is not charged with an at bat but does not start off the next inning. Also when a hit would be called a single, reached to second on throw, or a double, reached to third on throw these hits are tallied as double and triple respectively. Also if you hit a double then get caught in a pickle and tagged out you don't get a hit. The game also fails to keep track of a team's record and statistics over the course of multiple seasons. The same goes for player stats. The game fails to keep track of lifetime and post-season stats as it did in previous games.
