Baserunning perks
-
Will there ever be any acknowledgement of baserunning perks being bugged? Or any updates on potential fixes in progress for these perks being bugged?
I'm sure folks can only report bugs so many times before just giving up without seeing any mention that devs are aware of certain things. I truly want to try to stay positive/hopeful, but it has been months and it's becoming incredibly discouraging.
-
Yeah the only time I see them active is when I'm at bat.
-
What makes you think they're bugged? They show up for me, like the others, when they are useable.
-
@broken_toy1_PSN They do not show up for me when they should be activated. As another poster mentioned, they'll show up while I am up to bat, but stealing boosts don't really help in that moment of course.

When you are up to bat is when they are supposed to pop up on screen. Just like the hitting ones don't show up for each swing, 1 AB (At Bat) would be part of 1 PA. (Plate Appearance) 1 trip around the bases would also be a part of 1 PA. If the perk's usability went away, then came back, that would be one thing, but if the perk's usability doesn't go away during the PA, It's still going to be in effect. The AB is just the first part of the overall PA which will conclude with either the batter/baserunner being out, the baserunner scoring, or the end of the inning.
Does it not show it when you pause the game? I've never checked for BR perks, but it does show it for hitting and fielding perks.

I see what you're saying, and I apologize if I'm not being clear with what is happening.
If the BR perks are supposed to be persistent throughout my time either at bat or on the bases, then it definitely isn't persisting when I end up on base (again, just regarding the BR perks specifically) and hit pause to view what's currently active. It wouldn't make sense for the BR perks to activate while I'm at bat since I have no use for base stealing if I'm at bat.
I get the Rattled perk to activate when I'm on the bases, though, even though that's a "Batting" perk. But I'll have the Base Commander perk "activate" while I'm at bat, but not persist or activate when I'm on base, when the primary perk for that is a stealing speed boost (it also does not show as activated in the pause menu).
I'll try to grab a screenshot or clip soon. I may be misunderstanding the process for the perks, and I'm happy to be corrected. It might very be bad UI design rather than an actual bug, or I could be crazy, or both.

Here are my examples.
One screenshot will show how my Base Commander perk is set up. Another will show me at bat with the perk active. Another shows when my teammate at bat, and the Base Commaner perk is no longer active. The final shows the Rattled perk active with that same teammate at bat.

I think the main problem is you are on the Blue Jays. Canadians are so weird.

or you could be correct. Since this is a new feature it could be either. Does it feel different between when you steal with 0/1 out than with 2 outs? It's a bad way to figure things out, but I find this game will often have "feel" to situations more than other games. I can tell you the base commander perk during diamond quest for sure works this way. But that's not player locked. The only way to figure things out, for sure, would be to record multiple attempts and time things out. I'm way too lazy to do that.
Looking at the pictures, to me, it looks like the "currently active perks" shows up only for the current player at bat. Most perks only work for us, not the AI, so not showing for Ernie. Rattled must be useable for all of your teams players with you on base, but not base commander for them. That tells me bad UI design. That would also explain why BR perks only show while you are at bat.
If you are still unsure or confused, you can send a ticket to SDS. They do look at them, even if you don't hear from them. Sometimes your issue is just resolved without any fanfare.
Any way you look at it, I used the term "for sure" twice in the same paragraph. I feel a little dumber for that and can't help but apologize because I actually deleted a third use.
