ok, this is a weird bug that I cannot reliably reproduce but it's definitely happening.

What I am seeing is that sometimes there will be extra-base hits that happen in the game but are not displayed on the box score. Currently I have only seen it in 3 of the 11 games I have simmed. All of these games were played 3D (single pitch, every play) as opposed to just simming the whole game in one pass, or even whole innings at a time.

Unfortunately, the box scores are html files so I can't upload them, but the attached screenshot will demonstrate.

Look at Jerry Grote in that screenshot. He hit a 3-run homer in the first inning. He has 1 hit for the game and 4 total bases. But the "Home Runs" line is completely missing from the box score. In addition, there were two Cubs who hit home runs and their "Home Runs" line is missing as well.

I have two other games where Doubles were hit and the "Doubles" line is missing as well.

I want to be clear that these hits ARE properly listed in the game log and are reflected in the player stats. They just seem to be missing from the box scores.

I generally analyze box scores and this is the first time I've ever seen this bug. That makes me think this is a recently introduced bug. However, I can't say that it's unrelated to manually playing out the games in 3D, so it might be a pre-existing problem if it's somehow triggered by that. I will spend some time tonight looking at the box scores for the auto-simmed games for other teams to see if those games might have this problem as well.


Anyway, this is a minor bug but maybe its weirdness might trigger a light bulb in the devs' heads about something that might be causing it.

edit: it happened again (4 out of 12 games now) and I've uploaded a 2nd image to demonstrate. You can see in the WPA graph that Gaylord Perry hit a 2-run homer in the 5th (who needs the DH) but there is no listing for "Home Runs" in the box score even though it shows Rico Carty's triple. Also Carty hit a double in that game (2 hits, 5 total bases) and the "Doubles" line is missing as well both BOTH teams (they had 1 double, the Astros had 2). Bizarre.
