I've seen threads complaining about people bunt cheesing but what exactly is considered bunt cheesing? Is it just people that bunt the whole game? Cause I know there are times where I bunt in this game for certain situations it is apart of the game after all
Basically bunting anytime with a speedy player to the right side or bunting to beat the auto shift. Not in a situation that you would bunt
I'm not an advocate for bunting all the time, but if an opponent keeps bunting against the auto shift and you don't turn that auto shift off... you really have no one to blame but yourself. That's no more "cheesy" than the defense shifting based on offensive tendencies so they are more likely to be where the ball is hit.
You can't expect the pros without the cons.
No, you can blame the game also. There is no excuse Ortiz with 25 drag bunt should be able to lay down a perfect bunt every single time, no matter the shift.
If this was MLB 16 as people mentioned and Ortiz with his 25 bunt rating could reliably bunt it right down the line for an easy hit then maybe youd have a point. Have you tried doing that this year? If you do, you'll see that his hunts will be foul, plopped up, or an easy play more often than not and even if it's a pretty good bunt the defense will react quickly enough to make a play when they should.
regardless of who is up to bat if they are a slow [censored] lefty and the shift is on they lay down the perfect drag bunt every single time. So perfect that even if there was no shift it would still be a base hit. Unrealistic AF! I have yet to see one of these drag bunts roll foul. They just ride the line and there's no way the catcher or guy at 3rd can make a play. WHat's the point of atts if any lefty can perfectly lay one down every single time?

Lol what???
Here's a supercut of Kyle Schwarber bunting against the shift over and over... With 2 strikes on one of them too!

i cant stand when someone uses the bunt as a tool because they cant hit my pitching. i use biggio to bunt but my integrity rule is if i drag bunt i dont steal. but if i get on by any other means i do. i bunt with biggio and only biggio hes lead off so i usually lay it down on the first at bat of the game...

Based on the pitching angle that people use people can’t not tell when the shift is on

I bunt at any chance I get with a speed guy it is an easy base hit with a good bunt and it immediately makes them think about the steal. I actually have my line up with several high speed guys at the top of the lineup
When people complain about bunt cheese,, its this guy right here who they played.

It’s an overused term from MLB 16 that isn’t even a real issue anymore.

Why is that bunt cheesing? It is a factor in the game that used to be used all the time in the game not as much now but years ago when home runs were not as common players would bunt, sac bunt, do high choppers or squeezes. I don't bunt against the shift but if you are not willing to adjust to the situations then you cant [censored].

Then change your angle or turn the auto shift off.
I pitch with Strikezone cam, catcher perspective. Call the game and i can see the runner on 2B and defensive shift.
Bunts vs shift happen in real life as Schwarber has done over and over and over.

I would say it's filling up your lineup with only speeds guys for the sole intent of bunting every at-bat. It's not about bunting here and there when strategy says it's wise,.
I second this. I don't mind the Jackie stealing to lead off an inning, I do it too. I hate the 90 speed all around the bases and doing the squeeze play non stop.

Defensive much, read what i said. Did i say what you were doing is cheese. I made a factual statement. People who play you are going to call what you do Bunt cheese.

People who bunt to second base because they know the 2b won’t get to it in time are bunt cheesers - I always bring my infield in halfway on any person I think MIGHT bunt
Yeah that’s pretty annoying but I do it myself sometimes in need of a slump buster for guys like biggio. But I tend to do with it 2 out and no one on because I feel bad lol it is really cheesy

If you run an auto shift that's on you. If there is a gaping hole on the left side of the fieldwhy not go for it ?
