Baserunning

Re: Baserunning

I have not been having problem like others have had, but they screwed it up like MLB 14 again where the COU decides to get picked off and steal everytime without me asking it to

Re: Baserunning

Classic still in the game, hit L2 or R2 (i forget) in the baserunning options to get to advanced to select it.

Thanks so much guys. I'm so good with it I decided I wasn't changing.

Re: Baserunning

Surprised there isn't more widespread complaint about this issue. Are us auto-base runners really that big a minority? The game is completely unplayable to me right now. I just had at least 6 different issues in one game where a guy either got forced on a baseball for not running, or base runners didn't run with two out contact. I am not touching anything, so I'm not making this happen. It's also incredibly random.

Re: Baserunning

Same here. Very frustrating. I posted on the "first impressions" thread and got a suggestion to set base running on default. I thought it was the fix, but it isn't. I'm also shocked that this has not produced thousands of comments on this forum. I'm confident that it is something that can fixed and that it is indeed fixed sooner rather than later. It is weird because every once in a while, the auto base running works. I appreciate all of your comments and here's hoping that it's fixed soon. Otherwise, this is a fantastic game!

Re: Baserunning

I've been spending more time in conquest, which doesn't have auto running. But I definitely saw it in franchise. Any chance you are pressing the L stick or maybe holding it too long after the swing? Curious if manually leading off causes it too.

Re: Baserunning

I use manual base running but i might put it on auto for a few games to see if it happens.

Plus career stats for MLB'ers are way off to the point of ridiculousness !!

I started a fresh franchise and a few of the rangers career stats were switched. Hamilton had rua's and rua had hamiltons career stats and elvis had odurs stats ect. . I restarted and everything was fine,not sure about players on other teams though.

I think it's not widespread because not everyone is having the issue. I use auto-running, and other than the situation I described above where I over-rode auto baserunning to steal, I haven't had any odd runner behaviors at all.

There must be something causing it for those who have experienced it, so we should find that cause so we can accurately report the issue to the devs.

Re: Baserunning

I messed with it tonight, looks like taking any manual leads or queueing a steal cancels auto-baserunning. If you don't lead off and don't steal, it seems to work fine. You can tell when auto-baserunning is on, because it say so in the running HUD. If the text is missing and the arrows pointing to the runners is present, you're on your own for the rest of the play.

Pretty ****ty implementation, they should leave it CPU controlled unless you use the L stick or L1/R1 buttons to override control. Personally, for me, with a runner on second I always take a 1 step lead, otherwise I get thrown out at home on singles, if the runner even goes. Now doing that screws up auto-baserunning. Hopefully they can address that in a patch.

Regarding auto baserunning, it could be there are more guys like me who haven't played a game yet. I am editing all pitchers in roster before starting a season or franchise. I have noticed career stats are not accurate for many pitchers, don't know about batters cause I'm just doing pitchers.

This makes sense to me. I use auto and haven't had a problem, but I also don't take manual leads or anything.

I used auto in 15 and queued steals didn't affect my auto base running.

Right, we're talking about a possible bug in '16, not '15.

I know that. Possible? Well, if it wasn't a problem in 15 and is a problem in 16, then it's a bug.

Re: Baserunning

Auto baserunning seems to be working fine as long as you don't touch any buttons related to runners. It seems that this year if you do anything manually (call for a steal, manually send runners to the next base, accidentally hitting a button) it deactivates auto running for the rest of that play. I found this out the hard way when I manually called for the runner to go on a 3-2 pitch with less than two outs and then hit a fly ball. The runner didn't return to the base like he would have in past years, so I got doubled up.

This is exactly what I've noticed.

Normally, I'd use Auto baserunning but I'd control my lead off distances and steal attempts. In 16, however, doing so shuts off Auto baserunning for the remainder of that play.

Hope they fix this.

Have you tried just queuing a steal to see if that turns off auto baserunning?
