Baserunning AI?

Re: Baserunning AI?

Ive seen that many AI baserunning moments of stupidity its forced me to take a break from the game at the moment - who knows i might not even come back to it this year.

'16 is still a very good game but i cant call it great anymore, far too many bugs and issues even after endless patches that just shouldnt be there.

Sad.

Re: Baserunning AI?

I just had two consecutive plays where a ball was hit to the outfield, and then thrown in... the third baseman had the ball before the CPU baserunner got to third base, but the runner for some reason kept running for a ridiculously easy out at home. Twice in a row that happened...

Overall I'm seeing a lot of boneheaded baserunning, but those plays in particular were entirely absurd.

Is anyone seeing wacky baserunning?

Yes it is an issue and time is running out for them to fix it. There is also an issue involving baserunners being thrown out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt.

I use manage mode so everything is AI, no user input.

I've had this happen numerous times before the patch but not after. I thought it was fixed but apparently not

Re: Baserunning AI?

Autobaserunning is still very much broken as well.

If there isn't a sufficent patch issued for this, as many months as this has been, some sort of refund needs to be in order.

Some sort of refund is in order? Really?

Re: Baserunning AI?

I don't think it does. That thread is about user-automatic baserunning, this thread is about CPU baserunning.

Supposedly, they have the same AI. A dev responded to my question asking if there were actually two baserunning AIs and he said they were the same. Would make sense that they do because when under auto baserunning, the CPU is in control of the runners.

Re: Baserunning AI?

I don't understand how a game can be released with so many obvious glaring issues. It's not like one of those issues that is hard to replicate either, I discovered this ridiculous over aggressive cpu baserunning the first game I played. Makes you wonder if they even actually played the game or were to busy zooming in on the graphical upgrades they were implementing.

Re: Baserunning AI?

Yesterday in a DD game the CPU hit a single to CF, there was a runner on 1st who tried to run to 3rd. My 3rd baseman had it long before the runner got there, but the AI runner didn't even slide... he just kept running straight to 3rd and was tagged out. It honestly looked like he would have kept running home if he wasn't tagged out. I don't know what the deal is.

Re: Baserunning AI?

Sheesh, boneheaded AI baserunner tried to score from second on a sac fly to center. Catcher had time for a coffee and a scone as he waited to make the tag.

Re: Baserunning AI?

I posted about this exact scenario in another thread and people looked at me like I was nuts. This issue is prevalent and has happened to me and my friend on numerous occasions. It's an easy out, but it's completely ridiculous.
