Baserunning

Re: Baserunning

default is also broken but if auto is working than at least we can play but i thougt this who thread was dedicated to auto baserunning and guys are still reporting bugs so by the sounds of it all baserunning is broken.

Default baserunning isn't broken. I use it every game and there is nothing that I cannot do now that I could do before. And there isn't anything that is supposed or should happen that isn't.

Re: Baserunning

Since the patch, auto is now broken for basestealing for me as well. If I direct a guy to steal using L2, then I now unfortunately take control over him, and he becomes dead meat if the pitcher throws back to the bag. Previously, the auto baserunning would take care of getting him back. I don't want to have to think about that or worry about it when I'm trying to bat, and frankly I'm too slow to make it work. Hoping for a fix. I may quit stealing bases until it is.

I am pretty sure last year User runners could get picked off. However, you seem to be saying that queuing a steal turns off auto base-running?

Yeah that's still a thing. Had a case where I WANTED to queue a steal but I guess I did it too late.

Pitch ended up being a pitch in the dirt that got away a bit and not only did he not steal, he didn't advance because it was on manual. By the time I realized it, I just had to go back to first.

It is working 100% the way it should and always did on past iterations of the game, for me.

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

That's because you have people who do not know how to use it, think they know how to use it and ones who actually know how to use it. That's why you get the variety.

Re: Baserunning

I'm using default/auto and not having issues any more. Queuing a steal or leading off does not trigger manual control. If a ball is in play and I want to take control, pointing the L stick at the runner gives me control. If I take a lead and the pitcher throws over, I instinctively press R1 to try to get back, so I'm not sure that the auto baserunning handles that or not, but I'm pretty sure it does.

Yes. I played 80 games of my franchise prior to the patch. All auto baserunning. Qued up steals in virtually every one. Players always, every time, would at least try to get back to the bag on a pickoff.

Now, post patch, me playing the exact same way, when I tell the auto baserunning player on first to steal, if the pitcher throws back to the bag, he's dead in the water every single time.

They don't try to get back on their own?

They always did for me, even if I don't push R1. Odd. I've played some games in 1.04 and that behavior is still the same.

Re: Baserunning

Could just be runners getting picked off

They did before, and in all previous versions of The Show, as I can remember, but no. Now, they just stand there as the ball is thrown by the pitcher to the first baseman, and get tagged out. No dive back, no "oh no" scoot or anything like that.

If I don't tell them to steal, they still do everything like normal. Its only when I tell them to steal that they're dead meat.

Re: Baserunning

What is not operational with default? I have been using it after the patch and there was nothing I could not do that I could do before.

I cannot advance runners anymore holding down l1. all my baserunners are only advancing 1 base at a time and sliding into the next bag no matter what. hit n run does not work because my lead runner just slides into the next bag without rounding the base. with 2 outs and a full-count my lead runner doens't round the base on a hit he just slides into the next base making it hard to score from first on a double into a gap.

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

I really enjoyed that, laughed so hard the pipe fell out of my mouth
