Bunting success still seems like an issue

[Padgoi]

So far, the game is playing great, much more refined from last season's debacle. However, I'm still seeing way too many bunt singles with good bunters. The developers stated that there is now a difference between good bunters and bad bunters and this is absolutely true. I've tried bunting with people like Chase Headley and not only is it very difficult to keep it fair, but it's equally as hard to get a successful sacrifice and that's good. The problem is, with good bunters like Jacoby Ellsbury, I literally average a bunt single per game. Even if the CPU infield corners are in, his bunts are too often perfect, leading to singles. It's great that they made a larger difference between good bunters and bad bunters, but even good bunters only bunt for singles once in a while.

Set bunt defense shift, and even FB Ichiro can't run it out.

I was more so referencing the success of user bunts against the CPU.

I respectively disagree. Even with using Altuve and Gomez who have 90+ speed, they are getting thrown out on bunt attempts at a respectable clip.

What I've noticed is the prevalence of CPU bunt singles while playing RTTS as a third baseman. Seems like there are 1-2 per game, and ones that I can literally do nothing about.
