Hit and run, runner always slides

[TheFlamingWeazel]

This needs to be fixed, when I hit and run, get a hit, the runner slides into second base everytime, and gets stuck in an animation, and won;t take the extra base, has cost me a few runs now.

Try selecting the runner with the left stick to highlight him, then press the square button to send him to 3rd base. Do it before he goes into his slide animation and you shouldnt have any problems.

Thanks i"ll try this but it still needs to be fixed. Should not have to try and do this fast before he slides.

Don't really have time to do that though.

By the time you know its through and he's safe to advance its too late to select the runner and advance him.

Re: Hit and run, runner always slides

If I see the ball is through and I can make 3rd I immediately hold L1. now I know this is supposed to advance everyone, but if you let go after the guy rounds 2nd and before the batter hits 1st, the batter will not try to stretch it to a double. that should help negate your slides, and works the sames the select and send to 3rd method.

Not saying it shouldnt be fixed, but this is a very viable workaround.

Not sure why I am not seeing this. It would be something I would definitely notice.

Just a guess, but do you use auto sliding? If so that could be the problem

I don't use auto sliding, that could be a reason.

I don't use auto slide, but yet have that problem. I wish there was a way to turn off the slide feature, it appears all the options you have are "on" and "assisted"

Re: Hit and run, runner always slides

I've had this problem every time I hit and run as well. I got doubled up once because of it.

I was just trying to give a tip to help. I havent actually had that problem myself with hit and runs. My sliding option is set to "assist" and this is what happens when I hit and run. Just smooth running around 2nd base.

I haven't had this issue either. I use timing hitting, so I'm not touching the RS as I hit. Are those of you that are experiencing this using Analog hitting?

Re: Hit and run, runner always slides

I use analog plus batting and the hit and run slide happens every time. It's to the point where I don't even steal on a full count with two outs anymore.

Have you tried turning sliding to Auto, instead of Assist? Not sure if it'll make a difference, but it's all I can think of if analog hitting is really the cause of it.
