Why is base running always an issue with this game?
-
Its every year. Why cant they have base running manual?? I hate that its assisted. Heres what happens every year..
-
Hit and runs the runners either freeze or run back to their bases with a clear hit through the infield gap.
-
Runners either run back or hesitate to advance on what are CLEAR hits in the gap in the OF and they fight your controls to send them.
-
A runner on 3rd with one out running on contact by itself with a hit to the pitcher for an easy out. (dont get me started on how many hits to the pitcher occurs too, most times off their heads or chests lol)
Its maddening and its EVERY year.

You can easily take control of all of them or each of them. I do think it's a little clunky but overall i think it's pretty good.

At some points yes its easy to control them. But not with the examples listed above. They literally override your commands. If im sending a runner for a hit and run they shoudlnt A Freeze or B run back to the base. Or, on clear hits shouldnt run back or resist advancement

Im having issues in a couple areas related to base running. First, if I hit a ball into a gap for example... I'm unable to immediately tell the runner to go to 2nd. In previous versions, I could immediately drag over the left thumb stick and tell him to go 2nd or 3rd or whatever. I've made way too many outs because it's not working so I spam L1 and the runner starts going back to first before it registers for them to go to 2nd. I suspect this is an issue specific to me as I can't find posts on it.
Also when a player steals a base on me, the catcher animation to throw to the base doesn't load immediately, leading to the runner basically always being safe. I can tell this happens to some other players I play against but not everyone.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I think this relates to your catchers stats. Without know which catcher specifically, hard to tell. I use Realmuto and have had zero issues throwing anyone out. I’m pretty sure it relates to one of the defensive stats for catchers. JT has quick pop perk, so I’m sure that helps.

you can definitely still direct the players individually. Might be the settings you're using?

I've noticed you can't select the baserunner to go to 2nd as soon as he hits the ball, there is a delay there. Also, that selected baserunner stays locked in, I tried to run just my 3rd baseman to home and for some weird reason, my hitter went for 3rd and my 3rd baseman never moved. It's glitchy for sure.

No clue what the hell you’re explaining here.
