Perhaps try the auto baserunning? You still can override with a quick tap of one of the top buttons.

Maybe you’re inadvertently giving the hit and run command before you swing?

How do you give the hit and run command before you swing? This sounds like it could be it..

Auto baserunning won’t work online but I suppose it’s worth a shot for offline.

Thanks and LGM (ugh)

I should have clarified that my runners don’t steal - the aggressive advancement is only on balls in play. So it’s doubtful it’s a hit and run thing or they’d be stealing anytime I swing and miss, take a pitch, etc.

I’ve been having a gameplay issue all season where my baserunners will always take off with the crack of the bat. It doesn’t matter if the hit is a shallow fly bal, foul pop, ground ball, etc they take off regardless.

This is especially frustrating on potential sac flys - my runners are never available to tag up and I almost always get doubled up.

I don’t have auto baserunning on. I don’t take leads or steal. Im not hitting any button besides swing, but this always happens. It happens in ranked play, showdowns, conquest etc - online and offline.

Can anyone lend any help re: what might be causing this, and how I can stop it? It’s really ruining this game for me.

@Stevchar_MLBTS said in Baserunners automatically take off on fly balls:

When I have a runner or runners on base, they take off on any fly ball - shallow fly, pop fly, soft liner, foul out, etc. This has led to so many unnecessary double/triple plays, I can’t hit sac flies or advance any runners, and is just simply beyond frustrating.

I don’t have auto baserunning on. I am not taking a lead nor hitting any buttons that would manually send them. It happens in both online and offline play, including Showdown.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can make it stop??

check and see if "assisted" is set as your baserunning option in your settings.

Sorry but where is this “assisted” option in settings?

Just fly balls - including foul pops. If I have a runner on 2nd and hit a grounder to the left side, the runner will correctly hold. But if that ball had been a little pop fly to shortstop, my runner would be halfway down the line before I could hopefully get him back in time.

L1/L2 isn’t stuck, they don’t lead off unless I do so intentionally…which I rarely do.

Appreciate your reply man. This sucks
