Re: MLB 15 The Show Video - Online Problems of a Different Sort

I think a good idea would be to drop the speed ratings way down, still relative to the old ones, but nothing in the 90s or even 80s maybe. Madden devs heard that speed was being exploited in the game, so they gave the fastest players low 90s as opposed to 98, 99. Of course it is yet to be seen how well that will work but it seems like a good idea.

On the bright side, unlike a game like FIFA or Madden, there are no DD seasons, so if you don't really care about record, quitting doesn't really affect you too much. Also your opponent doesn't get any huge benefit from playing a stupidly boring game.

Also a quick question (Sorry it is OT): This is my first post here. Is there a certain number of posts you need to get to in order to post new threads?

Interesting suggestion for sure.

And yes, you need to be around a certain number of time and meet certain post thresholds I believe in order to create threads.

I have asked around the forums but it seems nobody else has this particular problem but me but what the heck I'll ask anyway. I use the triggers for base running instead of the other method and every single time I have a man on any base and hit a line drive, blooper or a rocket through the gap my base runners always dive back to whatever base that they are on and its frustrating as heck ! I hit into so many fielders choices its not funny . I assume nobody else has this problem because they use the stick and pad method

Hmmmm I don't think there's a full manual option for baserunning just the semi-auto. Maybe it's set to "auto" and is doing that? I would check in your gameplay options.

If that's not what it is, I'm not sure what it will be. Sometimes baserunners on first hold up a split second to avoid being hit by the ball when it's hit through the right side but that's the only situation I can think of. I mostly use the trigger to advance all baserunners as well (I'll use buttons when trying to get a specific guy to move up of course) so I don't think we do things much differently.

When I play they will literally dive back to the base and finally they figure out they can run but only after dusting there selves off and by then its too late. I don't use default base running , could never get the hang of it I have it set up with the L1 and L2 triggers with the button and directional pad to move individual runners . with this I am stuck with the "better dive back to base " animation but still a little easier than the other base running for me. I'm sorry its really hard to explain I wish I knew how to upload a video to just show everyone what I'm talking about

Dive tagging seems to be improved but there are still some instances where it just doesn't make sense. I know Buster Posey has poor baserunning attributes but this still shouldn't happen. It was a sweet bloop hit over 1B too.

I dunno, I think it's still a real problem overall. It happens most times at second base when they take the small turn, but you get nailed at first there as sometimes also happens. Between that and cutting animations short to go into a dive, I think it needs some serious love.

Ugh, yep frustrating but different problem. Is that worse than when the guy goes to make the tag and yet the game claims he didn't tag him?

Not sure I know about this one. Or maybe I'm just not understanding right? Like the cut is just delayed?

Great Video! This very well explains the biggest problems I have seen in the game. I play in leagues mostly, and we have rules against abusing bunting and stealing, but I certainly hope they can fix this next year.

I don't play diamond dynasty very often, but last night I had a game where I gave up 16 steals. The opponent even stole home twice and my catcher for some reason didn't bother to tag the runner. I actually won the game 10-7, but I was helpless against the bunts and steals.

One question - I have a problem with my catcher throwing on a steal attempt. About half of the time he does not even make the throw. I use button w/ meter for throwing and it works great with all the other fielders. I assume I must be pressing the button too early or too late, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hey thanks for the feedback. You are most likely pressing it too early. I have that issue sometimes after I pitch out as the timing window is actually different there it seems like. I use the analog fielding system but I don't see why it would be much different in terms of functionality.
