I've noticed a disparity between the animation of foul balls and their written descriptions. For example, the animation will show a long foul ball that goes into the stands near the right (or left) field foul lines, while the play-by-play says it was fouled straight back. Also, I have seen batted balls that obviously landed fair, but the game recorded them as foul; in one instance, the ball hit the foul pole, bounced back into right field, and was picked by the outfielder before being labeled foul. This kind of thing happens numerous times during a game.
I have also seen outfielders going through walls chasing foul balls and home run hitters walking through the players he just drove in instead of around them. Having them shake hands or high-five each other would be better.
The animation has improved enormously over the last few years, but little things such as these detract from the "realism" of the game.
