If you bunt....to get a hit, just quit!!! Trade in you’re ps4, put on a [censored] costume and live the remainder of you’re life in solitude!
Defend it? It’s really not that hard.
It is when the fielders have siezures on who should field the ball and who should cover (even with bunt defense on).
Thank you. That’s what I’m really talking about here.
No problem..

I like when dead pull hitters like granderson and cargo drop a bunt down the third base line with surgical precision. Fun and realistic.

I love when guys like Helton or gallo lay down perfect suicide squeezes on pitches that aren’t even close to the zone

I mean it does happen in real life and plenty of guys can do it with ease especially with no 3B and they can smack that sucker as hard as they want.
Here's a supercut of Kyle Schwarber beating the shift over and over with bunts:
https://youtu.be/tMYUjDXavSEIt's not a question of ability with these guys with no 3B to worry about... It's a question of mentality if they want the easy single. If the other player has that mentality they should get it most of the time.
In the words of one of the great ball players of our time, PDC: THAT'S BASEBALL BAY-BAY!

Fake news, bunting a non strike even witht a good bunter is recipe for a miss or pop.

Ive had it happen to me on pitches well below the zone and well outside

Why? It's legit for speed guys or beating the shift.
Use your head, you see a guy with Juan Pierre you pull those corners in.
If there's a bunt situation and a good bunter, pull those corners in.
Stop relying on the CPU to strategize and defend everything for you.

I will bunt if and when I want/need to.

Good for you. And don’t let anyone tell you differently

My opponent bunted vs me with Cargo for a hit vs infield shift. Next AB i did a permanent shift vs Cargo infield straight up, OF shift right. No more bunts.
However, my opponent was playing 34 speed [censored] fielding Justin Turner at 2B. I pushed bunts at him for 5 hits, only 1 out made on 6 attempts, 3/3 with Ty Cobb.... My opponent refused to pull Turner or shift, that's on him. You play a beast hitter in a position out of his element you pay the price.
I adjusted, he didn't.

...but can’t lay down a sac bunt to save my life. Double play or lead runner out 95% of the time.

I do it more.often this year tbh.Instead of trying to get under the pitch.Bash em out at a higher rate playing baseball.Moving a runner over with , especially late with what I feel are appropriate situations..Situational hitting and/or strategies are far more important this year. I'll end it how I always do IMO!! Second your post and should be upvoted by a lot of regular realistic players.

The problem is not the bunt situations, but the cheesers who load their team with 80+ speed players and then bunt with Juan Soto.

Sac bunts are bad this year. Every bunt is pushed hard. Unless there's a way to control that I'm not aware of.

The bunts to the second baseman are to OP their is absolutely no urgency at all with fielders.
