'Freezes' have always occurred since day 1, particularly in DD when you're changing your roster, but just encountered my first in-game "freeze". Playing Mini Seasons, went to the bullpen, came back out to the pause menu, and it's now "frozen". I use quotes because I'm not sure it's truly frozen. Even if you're in the pause menu where I am, if the batter's stance has movement, it'll still move, and it's happening here. Dude's doing wiggles for days. It's more like the game doesn't think there's a controller providing input when there is. I guess I'm losing one of Barry Larkin's hits.
I haven't seen a MLBTS game as buggy as this one in years.
