Running the bases in My Player

[Cianfrocco]

I have looked everywhere, but I can't seem to find an answer to this. In My Player, is there a way to stop half way between bases? If I am on first, and there is a flyball to right field that might drop, I want to go half way, then decide whether to continue to second or go back to first. The only thing I can do is repeatedly hit left and right trigger to keep moving back and forth.

I'm wondering, if you don't press anything, when the ball is hit will your player automatically go halfway to see what the outfielders will do? It seems like I've done this a couple times. The problem is that I'm usually so quick to press one of the triggers as soon as the ball is hit that I get caught in the same predicament as you, and the only work around is as you described.

If you don't hit anything, you just stay where your leadoff position was. Sure, it avoids having to go back and forth, but if the ball drops, you are so far off that you will never make it to second in time.

I usually hit the trigger rather quickly, too, resulting in being doubled off on many live drives that were cought.

I don't know about anyone else, but I get doubled-up way too much in My Player. Miraculous snags of line drives by IFs often leave me hung out to dry between bases and easy pickings for a DP.

There are some other baserunning issues I've noticed, too:

-Way too many successful pick-offs by the AI pitcher. Not just on me, but on the AI-controlled friendly baserunner.

-Several times when I'm the runner on 2nd, the AI-controlled runner on 1st will take off like he's going to steal 2nd. This is not on a passed ball or wild pitch, but rather on the pitcher's delivery. If I try to head to 3B, I'll be thrown out by 25 feet. The AI runner usually stops between 1B and 2B when he "realizes" I'm on second, then gets thrown out by the catcher before he can get back to 1B. Very frustrating.

Re: Running the bases in My Player

turn the fielding speed down to zero and you'll have no problem...fielding speed makes players run around like their on liquid crack and with it turned down to zero you'll have no problem running bases cause it'll actually be realistic now...rarely any mid-air infield snags by scrubs but when you get to the majors it's a whole nother ball game
