MLB.tv's condensed games are a great feature, but the fascination with replaying home runs several times is suboptimal. Yeah I get it, he hit the ball hard and it went over the wall. It's an exciting play as it happens, but there's not a lot more to see after the first go.
Like you don't watch every replay of your guy hitting a Home Run in The Show.
Speaking of The Show, two strange happenings this weekend in my game. In the first, my guy Hit a sharp grounder up the first base line, it goes right over the bag, umpire points to the stands, ball boy scoops up the ball... and my guy just goes right one running. Chugs around the bases for an ITPHR. Then the visitng team gets admonished by the play by play guy for letting a routine single turn into a home run.
In the second, I had my first ever walk off hit, and as the game goes into celebration mode, it zooms in on the guy standing at first base... who isnt me. Its nobody I've seen before. Some blank slate create a character with number 99. The box score doesnt count my final at bat, and the game winning hit is credited to this number 99 who doesnt have a name, its just a blank spot.
