RTTS first baseman fielding

[ahunter5]

I'm sorry if this has been addressed - I haven't been able to find anything from a search.

Is anybody else playing RTTS as a first baseman? I'm doing fine with the hitting, but for some reason actually covering first base is borderline impossible for me. If I'm holding a runner on first, and a ground ball is hit, I can never actually cover first base. I run past the bag into foul territory, then past the bag again into the field of play, By the time that the CPU detects that I'm actually around the bag and that it's safe to throw, the runner is already safe. Is there a button that covers the bag for you, or is there a setting that could help me out?

I have the same problem.

I haven't figured out a true answer to the problem but what I have been doing when covering the bag is pushing to the right on the stick to get off the base and take a few steps towards second then I stop and barely nudge the stick back to 1B to cover it. It normally works for me but I would love to find a real solution to the problem if anyone has one.

I haven't had that problem... but I have had a ton of plays where theres a grounder hit at me and it just rolls past me... lol

The way the camera angle changes with/against the natural movement of the fielder, it makes it difficult to get right on the bag.

My only tip is what I've done and it works pretty flawlessly... move the stick toward the bag, then as the camera angle changes, briefly move it down back toward the bag but only briefly, then let go of the stick completely. Almost always, the computer will recognize and throw it. If you keep trying to maneuver with the stick, you over step the bag and/or the ball is either never thrown or thrown too late.

I was having the same problem, I was trying to put myself "on the bag" but found that as long as I got close/next to it, it animated the rest.
