If it wasn't for the auto-shift

I really do hope SDS sees this thread and takes it as real feedback worth listening to, especially within the context of RS. Give the new guys a tutorial if you have to on the importance of setting their field positions. I'd say anything SDS can do to present a gap in skill, should be something they're looking to pounce on and give to us. Especially since this particular issue is 100% void of any animation bugs/glitches and won't take much of their resources to debug or ever patch.

I would be batting .450 or higher. That's not even an exaggeration. I absolutely hate the fact that the auto-shift is turned on by default. Using a shift, or not, is a strategic decision and should be user controlled at all times.

If you lack the presence of mind to put on a shift in a specific situation, or if you're simply too lazy to do the defensive adjustments, I feel like you should be burned by those [censored] through the infield holes every single time. But now, the game bails you out by putting an auto-shift on basically 80% of the players in the game, making those well hit pulled [censored] into the shift ot lasers up the middle automatic outs. Those are great at bats with great swings being outs while my opponent did absolutely nothing for it. Another fine example of lowering the skill gap.

Ah , the old if my aunt had a [censored] She’d by my uncle argument

Great showing of your intelligence if that's your take away from this thread.

You can actually do it at the beginning of the game for every batter in the line up, or choose to do it on the go. And I really don't mind, those adjustments just take a couple of seconds. Reality is most people don't even know how to set everything properly because the auto-shift does everything for them and they've been relying on the game to do it for them for years.

Can I shift all of my fielders into the stands? That way, I'll catch the 10 bombs you hit in a row, then you strike me out 3x in a row, mercy rule, and we'll be done in 5 minutes. Plus, I'll get my 9 "affinity" innings for my hapless Pirates. Win/win!
