I haven't had any freezing...that sounds troubling. Is that with all modes of play, or just on-line?
Fielding and running the bases are needlessly glitchy and difficult. It is nice to be able to control the runners individually, but oftentimes I end up not taking extra bases because I fear advancing the wrong runner. The main problem with fielding is that I am much worse than the computer.......either I suck, or it's just a poor implementation of a glitchy scheme. Maybe both.
Ultimately, though, the game is so overwhelmingly focused on batting and pitching (the two aspects of the game that are near perfect) that I don't mind that the other, comparatively minor, aspects are flawed. The fact that you aim the breakpoint of the pitches rather than the end point is so brilliant I can't believe no one thought of it before. Or, if they have, that I haven't heard of it before.
I've only played with maybe 10% of the pitchers thus far, but I've already concluded that Johan Santana's slider, Fossum's eephus, and Schilling's splitter are monstrously unhittable.
