As I type this, I am in the midst of the most fucked up RBI Baseball glitch I have ever come across. I decided to play Boston vs Detroit and got the 'mini-pitcher" glitch going on the first batter (subbing Eliis "Tim" Burks for Barrett). But the pitcher is completely off the screen somewhere. All I ever see of him is is feet after he's in the "grabbing his nuts" stance after the pitch is thrown. Whats really fucked up is that I can't see the ball being pitched...just the sound and then the graphics telling me its a ball and what the speed was. So I just keep on getting walk after walk...after 18 batters I have decided this will never end and I can run up the score to infinity if I want to.
I heading out in a few hours to go watch the Canada/Russia hockey game at the Air Canada Cente in a few hours so I'll let it run until then and see what kind of score I have at that point.
I take it this is a new one for everybody???
OK...I gave up on this as it was getting boring. If anyone ever wanted to know what happens when you get 100 runs, I have the answer...
Once you hit 100 in any category, it rolls back to 0. It was 99-0 and the next BB just rolled the score to 0-0. I ended up winning 105-4 after one inning but the scoreboard just read 5-4. There is absolutely nothing that indicates you have a hundred runs. The only "tell" is that the game ended in a mercy at '5-4' (which I took a picture of - I just need to upload it at some point).
My final box score was 3 AB, 8 BB, and 3 SO (as that was the only way to get out of the inning). So even the BB was reset back to 0.
P.S. I never realized that RBI didn't count BB as at-bats
Interesting stuff...
shoot...I would have liked to know what RBI would do if you gave up more than 5 runs in the bottom of that inning...so the score would read something like 5-7 instead of 105-7...would it still be a mercy rule?
I belive it would. They do keep track of the actual score they just don't have a place for it on the scoreboard. Kind of like when you score ten or more runs in an inning, they all still count...
Up to 255 runs anyway. I'm assuming the current score is one byte.

Looks like you have to get that glitch again Shooty and see what happens when you score 256 runs (smiley) - or we can verify via the RAM...
Or do a 2 player game, and just keep scoring
Shit...I never thought about the 255 possibility. That would be interesting to find out. However, don't think I ever will becasue:
a) I'm not going to play a 2 player game with myself up to that amount.
b) the glitch was just a complete fluke. I've probably done the "mini-pitcher" a few hundred times and this was a first...I doubt it had anything to do with the fact it was a lead off batter...just a random positioning of the pitche. On a related note, I could only get a swinging strike if I was at the very back of the batter's box. I have a theory that with this in mind and the fact I could never see the pitch coming in, that the pitcher may have actually been located off screen BEHIND the catcher or some such nonsense. Likely probability of duplication = 0.0005%
Actually, I've seen this missing pitcher glitch more than once, for sure...so while rare, I don't think it's impossible to duplicate.
