enough bunting! and other RTTS shenanigans
-
Starting to get super annoyed with the ridiculous CPU plays in RTTS. I've mostly avoided RTTS since TS20. I know it's always had an issue with creating plays for the RTTS player just because, but this year it seems beyond crazy.
As an outfielder - waaaay too many runners tagging up to take 3rd on a fly out.
As a first baseman (this is where it's just plain insane):
-
Inappropriate bunting: biting my tongue to this point... then top of the first vs Yankees, 2 out; then one after the next: Chapman bunts to 3rd for a single 1 RBI, Bellinger (yes, Bellinger!) bunts to catcher for a single, Wells bunts to pitcher for 3rd out.
-
Inappropriate steal attempts: waaaay too many runners with below 40 speed attempting to steal 2nd. I used to RTTS as a catcher back in TS20 and this was prevalent then).
-
Absolutely ridiculous turns at 1st: batter hits a single to right, the runner from either 1st or 2nd is going to score (that's fine), I get the QTE cutting off the throw and most of the time am unlikely to get an out at the plate but I know the batter is going to 2nd 100% of the time and sure enough the batter takes the turn at 1st and heads to 2nd. Sometimes I get the out, sometimes not, but that batter simply has no place attempting to get to 2nd. There is no situation in real life that would ever happen (without the batter being benched the next game anyway).
I've just installed update 7 so there may be some improvement but I'm not holding my breath... all of these seem like they happen so that my RTTS player gets some fielding opportunities, however they are laughable and just detract from the game's realism.
What is the experience of other RTTS players?

You should look online for sliders that people use for more realistic gameplay. Might help a bit.
