    Pinch Running isn't working

    Pinch running doesn't work in the game.

    I was playing a game against the Braves and was down a run in the 8th when Yadier singled to right. The game prompted me the suggestion to pinch run so I tried to run Tommy Pham for Yadier. Selected Tommy from the screen but Yadier didn't leave the game??? Even after Wong singled and moved Yadier to second I tried again and it didn't work.

    Please SCEA, patch this. This is HUGE for the strategic element of the game.

    I have created a bug report, please up vote it.

    I PR a lot in conquest and have only seen the issue once. Wonder if there is some sort of workaround.

      are you trying with the manager recommendation or doing on your own? Each time I did it, it was after the game prompted me with a manager suggestion.

      Maybe if I ignore and then try it the old fashioned way it will work??

      I will definitely try that in my next game.

          Could you try turning off the manager suggestions? I'm not sure if that's an option tho...

            There isn't an option to turn them off. I have looked and looked.

              Remember when I told you earlier that I won on the walk off. Gennett had hit a single and then I put in a pitch runner. Come to think of it I did not do it at the manager cue I had exited out of that as I wasn't going to but then I changed my mind and pinch ran anyway. It worked for me that way?

                  Yeah, I've had this happen to me as well, while using the Manager's prompt. The next time I was prompted, I ignored it and was able to pinch run the old fashioned way. So I'm guessing something is bugged with the prompt.

                    It happened to me without any prompting. Tried subbing from the Pause menu.

                      Hmm. I just pinch ran in the bottom of the 10th using the suggestion. It worked just fine. This game is so odd with its random glitches.

                        I ran into this issue in last years game. It would happen at random times.

                          Had this happen a few times last year, so far this year i havent.

                          That said, the amount of bugs these games are releasing with these days is a worrying trend...unfinished products comes to mind.

                            That's good to know. It could be the manager suggestion is not working properly.

                              I wanted to follow up on this. The only part that isn't working is when the game suggest (manager suggestion) to you to pinch run for someone. Subbing a pinch runner the old fashioned way (going into pause menu to substitutions) is working just fine.

                              Sorry for the confusion.
