2nd baseman doesn't throw to first on double play

[icicle22]

Happens way too often and wondering if anyone knows why? Throw cancelling is off also. I control the shortstop (lindor) who throws to Kipnis on the bag, but when I try to throw to first he makes the motion but the ball doesn't come out. The animation plays out like when I ball player makes a smart decision to not throw the ball (hangs onto it after making the throwing motion) because he clearly has no chance to get the batter at first. However, this happens when there are slow runners and I would pretty much have a for sure double play.

So this doesn't happen often but it happens probably 1 out of every 6 times. Anyone know what is going on??? Usually it negates the last out of the inning and the next guy makes me pay........

My initial thought would be that you are cancelling the throw, but with it being off, I'm not sure what would be causing it.

To me it sounds as though its a bug.

I was just thinking about posting this. Been happening way too often for me as well. Throw canceling is off and many times when it is an easy double play.

Watch the replay, is anyone covering first base?

they better be on simple 4-6-3 and 6-4-3 and 5-4-3 double plays. No reason the first baseman wouldn't be.

Right, but what is being described sounds pretty much like the issues that arise when a dp ball is hit to the right side of the infield and the first basemen attempts a play on it and then doesn't get back to the bag to cover the return through.

Not sure why he wouldn't be covering the bag, but watch a replay to make sure someone is actually over there to see why the middle infield won't attempt that throw.
