Baserunning

Re: Baserunning

I've had numerous issues when I have a runner at second and my batter hits a single, I quickly move the left stick to the baserunner and push X to send him home, but he seems to stick at third base and does not run through the base or round the base, even though I've been mashing X as soon as I see the ball hit through the hole.

Very frustrating.

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.

For you, maybe so.

I don't have frame rate issues or have problems seeing swing feedback but I don't post telling people that they don't either.

This isn't a fix or an attempt to downplay the issue (I've seen it too, and it usually happens when the "send home" input doesn't register before the runner would begin his wide roundoff of 3rd). But I usually use the L1 advance all for this situation. Reason being is that the existing runner will certainly reach 3rd before the batter reaches 1st, and I can just let off the L1 to keep the batter from taking second after 3B has made his turn. Even if I do hold it too long I can just individually return the batter to 1st.

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?

Because with auto on, the baserunners don't lead off. If I don't lead off 2B, I get thrown out at home on base hits way to much. Last year, the only thing you could control with auto on was leading off and stealing.

Re: Baserunning

Just to confirm Ramone or someone from the studio confirmed that it is a bug they have recreated and are attempting to debug?

Yes I tried to take a screen shot of his Twitter comments but he says he is aware of the issue and they have yet to debug for possible fix in patch

Re: Baserunning

The following has nothing to do with autobase running.


After all these years, I've finally decided to try to learn how to baserun and steal bases in play now games/franchise mode. I don't play RTTS. Always wanted a practice mode in MLB the Show just for situational base running and stealing. There's hitting and pitching, but no baserunning/stealing practice mode.

Been trying and still can't figure it out. Is there a visual tutorial somewhere.

1st and 2nd, and I would like to send the person on 2nd to 3rd while leaving the person on 1st. Tried pushing my left analog stick towards 2nd, holding L2. Releasing L2 unfortunately sends both runners.

1st and 2nd.
1st and 3rd.
2nd and 3rd.

How do I individual send a runner. L2 plus left analog stick keeps sending all runners.

1st and 2nd. Also is there a way to cancel the steal (before the runner takes off; pitcher attempts to throw a pick off). Once he starts to steal, how do you tell him to go back.

Just imagine they can't debug, or that possible becomes unable, and you are stuck with the problem. Then what will you do?

Ok I just couldn't find it and it seemed like from this thread it could be a unique issue to just a few users which made me wonder if it was hardware (controller) related or even a unique setup for in game settings. Do you have the ability to try a different controller and what hitting interface do you use zone, analog etc...?

Re: Baserunning

I basically only lurk and never post here, but wanted to add that I am definitely experiencing this issue with auto BR too.

Just had runners on 1st and 2nd, two out, I'm Braves vs Tigers in ST game #3. I'm down 6-3 in the 5th. Rip a hit to center, CF dives and misses it, both my guys go back to the bag.

Obviously baserunners should not be SLIDING back to the bag to tag with two outs, but that's not even the worst of it.

With plenty of time to get up and each advance a base, neither runner moves, CF gets up, retrieves the ball, and forces the runner out at 2nd, inning and rally over.

Just ST, and I'm really waiting for OFSM to do a franchise for real, so I don't care THAT much, but this WILL be a game breaking issue for many people if it is not fixed.

This is far, far from the first time this has happened. Closer to the tenth.

I've had the game for less than 3 days.

Re: Baserunning

This has happened to me also, but only when using "classic" base-running. When set to "default", I have not seen this issue (at least, not yet). Has anyone experienced this same issue while using "default"?

[skipriffe]

Re: Baserunning

Yes, I have experienced this issue when set to default as well as classic. It is random. It has cost me many a rally! Here's another situation. During a 2 player game, player one auto base running is flawed and player two works every time. This is very frustrating.

That is very interesting! Seems like a good idea to report that in the bug thread. Probably a good idea to include your entire post there. Nice find!

Re: Baserunning

Anyone know how to do this in the game? Not so much about the scoring outcome but just the ability to control individual players during a steal sequence when caught in a run down. R1 and L1 causes everyone to run. Left analog + R1/L1 still causes everyone to run. How do you control an individual player caught in a run down without affecting the other baserunners.

Re: Baserunning

On a positive note... Anyone notice the improvements to classic baserunning? Indicating which runner is going where etc.. Very nice touch. Big ups to the dev team.
