anyone else notice that era is miscalculated in the game?

Explain how you determined this. I just did the manual calculations on Warren Spahn in my association. 12 earned runs in 91.667 innings pitched. (12*9)/91.667 = 1.178. That's exactly what the game's stats report gives me, rounded up to 1.18.

well i didn't check on the stats screen, but on the "managing game screen" when a pitcher gives up a run (unearned) it counts against his era..I just checked the pitching stats screen, and those checked out right, so I guess it's just some very minor issue with the managing game screen.

Yes, this is true, and it is a minor bookkeeping error in the program display.

another minor error I noticed is that one of my players hit for the cycle but this event wasn't deemed highlight worthy...

For the record, gents- once the game is over, recalculate that pitcher's ERA. I posted once on that same problem-- it was an unearned run, but the pitcher's ERA still suffered.
 
Someone was kind enough to point out that though in-game his ERA climbs, after the game, his ERA is adjusted to what it should be (i.e. his ERA is not factoring the unearned runs). Don't look at it in the game, look at it afterwards.

On the matter of the cycle, I cannot say-- one of my players has yet to do so.

However, what did bum me out somewhat was when one of my pitchers threw a no-hitter. The event was acknowledged; that's nice. However, it wasn't just a no-hitter, but a perfect game. That particular detail was overlooked. There was no mention of a perfect game anywhere.
