In my last off season I prioritized upgrading my SS position. Too many times it seemed I wouldn't complete a DP and it would cost me. My old SS with 7 range and 6 DP moved to 3b. My new SS has 7-7-8 arm-8 DP ratings, my 2b has a 7 in DP and range, while my utility IF (probably start at 2b next year) is 8-7-8 arm-7 DP. DP's are "flowing" compared to my last season, and with everyone we turn my SS's lack of bat becomes less of a concern.

Other observations I've made in my "one pitch mode" style of play is many (most?) of these are broken up because the runner was "going", IE the AI loves to H&R to avoid DP's. I think others look wonky because of a limit on now many animations are available to show IF plays. IE the ball that was a little to slow to allow the DP, the slight mishandling of the ball by any of the infielders, etc.

I would bet Matt has stats from testing, at default with autocalc, that their results are in line with MLB. I base this on other discussions he's commented in on many type of stats, so I could be wrong. Hopefully he finds time to pop in and comment.
