Showdown Base running - 3rd Base

[JoeyRococo_PSN]

Anyone else notice a significant problem / change in a runners ability to round the 3rd base bag and go home in Showdown? I keep tapping the L1 button quickly and repeatedly, but the runner stops on 3rd for a good second or so and then starts to run home. Obviously, by that time it's too late. This only started happening a couple weeks ago and it's driving me crazy!!!

The only thing I can think of on my end is that maybe I used to hold the button down instead of tapping, but either should work right?

I use classic base running
