To say the game is broken is an overstatement. But without autobaserunning, it definitely takes significantly away from the enjoyment of the game because it is not functioning properly. That said, I fully expect that this SCEA will fix it in the next patch. I have tried manual baserunning and it is very difficult. For those of you who are used to using it, it is not. But for those of us who haved used now for many years autobaserunning, it is a major change. In addition, the reason many like auto baserunning is because we prefer more of a sim feel. We want some control over the outcome, but not too much.
