Baserunning

Re: Baserunning

I will have to check that out, I am not a L1 guy. I do direct targeting.

yes so do I but regardless my runners should not be sliding into third base with 2 outs on a single into the gap. they should be rounding to go home. even when i target my runner its too late he has already begin his sliding animation. i like yourself have become quite proficiient with baserunning using manual slides so it's not like im doing it wrong

What you are describing is not the mechanic itself but the AI which possibly was affected when auto baserunning was addressed. Personally I really want to see a true manual sliding option where there is no CPU assistance.

Re: Baserunning

At least one says it is working like the past, and some say it is still a problem. Very confusing to say the least.

Auto baserunning, while improved, is still not working properly. I played one game and two time the base runner stopped midway between bases. Now this was after I tested taking an extra lead. Next game I won't touch anything. The good news is it at least was still working for the most part. Hopefully, the next patch will completely fix it.

Re: Baserunning

THIS. It happened to me last night, I wasn't a subscriber to this thread and was more of a user error guy. But I'm seeing things that make me think they may have royally screwed the pooch on this one.

I wanted to wait until after I had 24 hours w/ the patch(approximately 6-8 hours in gameplay for me)

I recorded 3-4 gameplay videos from last night where baserunning is just head scratching to say the least. I've got guys sliding into 3rd from a hit and run from second as well as what you're talking about, I know I have videos of the slide, I'm just hoping I saved the one you're talking about, it was horrendous. It's not only an eye sore, it's effecting final results and that's no bueno.

As promised, no excuse for either one of these.

Re: Baserunning

I had a different error just happen for the first time.
Bases loaded and no outs, I hit into a double play but my runner at 3rd runs directly towards the mound then to home to get thrown out for the triple play.
It's on classic baserunning and I didn't press anything as it was happening.

Re: Baserunning

Why have they not fixed this yet? Classic base running being messed up literally is killing this game for me. Is it that hard to fix? Clearly it was easy to mess up.

Re: Baserunning

they fixed something today. the last two online games i played it said "auto baserunning is on" in addition, online games were in broadcast and the connectivity was really smooth.

Re: Baserunning

Base running online is completely and totally broken in every aspect. Stealing, advancing, taking a lead, all of it. I really don't understand how you can take something that was working completely fine and then utterly destroy it.

It basically shows you how interwoven the base running options are. While they are seperate operations they share code. So while at face value it looks like a easy fix, it's complicated.

Re: Baserunning

unfortunately i cannot say the same. i have guys sliding into the next base when they should be rounding the base and possibly scoring. L1 is not working as all my runners just stop at their next bag.

I use L1 and its working just fine.

As for the sliding, try turning off AUTO slide and use assisted. I use assisted (the cpu will still slide if no slide selected) and I haven't seen the issue of players sliding into the next base when rounding.

Also, try using the targeting running when you want guys to round to the next base. See if that doesn't help with the sliding issue. This is what I do when I'm wanting a player to go from say first to third, or 2nd to home.

If taking an extra lead, or even just a lead affects auto, then I wouldn't care. Last year I never bothered with taking leads. As long as queued steals work like last year, and nothing changed with baserunners, I'm good to go.

Yeah...I understand there are a lot of reports about issues with base running.....I am just not having any.

I did see the videos Kodi posted. Those are an example of hit and run plays....and if your stealing and then you hit a ground ball.....you have to make a decision with your base runner....do you advance him on contact? Do you take that chance in the case the ball does not get through the infield? If on contact you are highly confident it will get through you must hold down L1 till you see the base running diamond display indicator show the command to continue to the next base has been registered. Otherwise the command you gave the base runner was a steal. They will slide if no slide command is given (assisted slide) to advance to the next base. I don't believe (and I have no idea to be honest) that the game is coded for a runner stealing a bag to all of a sudden without human interaction to know to round the base and head home or to third.

Hit and runs are tough and you have to have total control of your runners upon contact.

What happens if you whiff....well your base runner will slide into the bag. If you hit the ball.....you must make a split decision to either stop the runner (R2), advance him to the next base beyond the base he is stealing, or send him back (pop fly or fly ball). If you don't do anything.....he will slide as you told him to steal and nothing else.

That's how I have always understood the base running mechanics of this game.


Again....I have not had any issues using default base running. If I have a guy slide and not advance....it's because I never gave him the command in time.

Re: Baserunning

I utilize default base runner almost 98% of the time but since the last show update it did something to classic base running as it was working flawlessly. I'm sure another update will come around to tackle that issue

Re: Baserunning

I did have my first issue with a runner freezing last night. Had a runner on 3B and hit a drive down the line to right, while it was in the air, he froze to make sure it wasn't caught. Then when it landed, he didn't move. When the fielder finally got it, he turned back and headed back to 3rd. I tried to send him back home and he was out.

Was this with Auto or Manual baserunning?
