Base running?
-
Anyone else having issues with base runners not advancing and staying put even when the ball drops? This is really killing me on second inning showdown because any bases loaded turns into a double or triple play. Am I the only one?

Yes. Yes I am. No. No you’re not.

Dude, why don't you control your own base runners.

I’ve thought about either holding L1 immediately after contact or even holding down L1 as I swing. I haven’t tried the latter yet, and I guess it depends on whether or not the base runner takes his lead as the button is pressed or after the button is released. This, hopefully, would prevent the runners just freezing instead of advancing, but it could open you up to lining into double plays. Do you ever have your runners freeze in place?

Yes, the AI actively ignores my controls when on 2nd Base. They go back to 2nd when ive told them to advance to 3rd on a hit in the gap, and they wont advance sometimes when there are 2 outs and the ball is hit. They act like they are waiting to see if the ball drops, even when it doesnt matter, and no matter what i do. Its cost me runs and probably a game or two.
A note to mr. pro -
"Why dont you control your own base runners" --- thats not helpful. Its a douche bag response. Either offer help or go play the game. We dont need another condescending asshat on the boards, thanks. -
Base Running it's a known issue that hasn't been patched. It does happened inadvertently but not to everyone that's why it's difficult to figure out the problem. Showdown is specially known to have this issue however it does happened online as well. Sorry for not offering help on this but we just have to wait till SDS drop a patch to resolve it.

I've had runners try to steal without me pressing anything. And getting back to a base no matter how close the runner is to it, is impossible. Can't tell you how many times I've had runners thrown out that should have been able to get back on bag before the defense even throws the ball.
