Baserunning

Re: Baserunning

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

I want to use Auto baserunning but I also want to control my lead off distances and steal attempts. In 15 (and before) this was not a problem.

In 16, if you take a lead or try to steal and then get a hit the Auto baserunning does not work.

Yes, to answer your question, queuing a steal will turn off Auto baserunning which is not what I want it to do (nor is it what it did in past iterations).

Re: Baserunning

On Auto baserunning in 2016 I had DJ LeMahieu hit one down the left field line and to my surprise it went all the way to the wall. I fully expected him to be on 2nd and maybe take a chance at third. He rounded first base and went back to the bag after reviewing the play. Queuing a steal had nothing to do with that play nor did I push any buttons.

I have seen this happen too seems the base running is totally out of whack seems to be random and different types of issues with the base running hoping its something that can easily be patched but not knowing what triggers it makes me nervous that it might be a bigger issue then a patch can fix.

Wow, that is very disappointing. Add that to the problem with career stats and I'm extremely disappointed.

Re: Baserunning

I can't find a way to use auto baserunning in Conquest mode. I think they disable it for online modes, but since it's single player, don't know why that would be an issue.

Re: Baserunning

It is *NOT* tied to controlling leads/queueing a steal. The issue happens regardless.

I played entire games where I did not touch anything related to baserunners before pitches and the same issues occurred.

1. Not running on base hits
2. Going back to the base on two out batted balls
3. Not going for extra bases.

It happens at least five times a game. Ramone Russell says it has yet to be debugged and will not be fixed until a patch.

If anyone finds a workaround please let me know, otherwise the game sits on the shelf until fixed.

What mode do you play? What rosters? Can you give us more info?

I've only been playing Play Now with current rosters and this hasn't happened to me once (again, I don't fiddle with L1/R1 to get leads, I literally do not touch baserunning at all).

Re: Baserunning

The issue you are experiencing is different then. When taking leads or stealing, it 100% cancels auto baserunning for the play and it shouldn't. That is a bug and should be fixed.

Re: Baserunning

Play now and franchise modes....happens in both.

With a custom roster, one I downloaded off the net with more
Minor leaguers and customized a little more.

Isn't that wonderful, counting the days for release, and then it sits on the shelf. So how is your "morale" now?

Re: Baserunning

I don't think that leading off cancelling auto base running is a bug.

like, what's the point in using auto base running if you DON'T want base running (stealing, taking leads, etc.) to be automated?

When you are taking control of the runner, you're literally saying you DON'T want him to be automated. Why would you then be surprised that he's not automated for that play?

In MLBTS 15, I know queuing a steal did not cancel auto baserunning. What I read here is it does do that in 16. If it was the way you say, then why would Ramone say it won't be fixed until a patch? From an earlier post by Chisoxfan14:

You would use it because the CPU will never (almost) steal for you.

You would use it when you want to call for a hit-and-run.

We expect it to work that way because it always has.

Re: Baserunning

Seems to happen more with two outs?

I knew the stupid thing was gonna do it to me, two men on and two outs and I get a big base hit and I start mashing L1 to send the base runners since auto turns itself off, didn't matter, they still dove back into their original bases and I got forced out at third.

Threw the controller across the room and ejected the game.

Fix this broken game or give me my money back.

Re: Baserunning

And again it is NOT tied to leading off/queueing a steal... It's tied to a broken game and a random bug.
