Plays at the Plate
-
Is it just me, or does it seem that there is an animation issue with tags at bases. I've noticed it more in the events. Players don't want to tag runners, especially around home plate.
This weekend I had a guy steal home and my catcher didn't make any effort to tag him.
I also just pulled off a pickle play, where my runner going home was out by a mile, and the pitcher covering refused to tag the runner on the slide.

The only thing I've noticed in regards to this, and it happened to me again just last night actually, is the catcher not tagging on a steal of home if you run towards the runner. For example, my opponent is attempting a suicide squeeze and the batter misses the bunt. With the runner coming home I run my catcher towards the runner because I'm assuming he will attempt to go back to third. If the runner continues running home however, my catcher will just stand there or run past him depending on how I'm moving the controller but he will not tag the runner. This has happened to me a few times and I have to try and remind myself just to not move my catcher until the runner goes back to third. If he just keeps coming home I just have to leave my catcher alone and then he will make the tag. At times it happens so fast and my initial instinct is just to run towards the runner and then it results in a run against me if he continues home. Unfortunately in the case of last night, it resulted in a run and I ended up loosing by 1 which makes it even worse.
