No OF assists vs CPU?

[lvann4x]

This year, through probably 100 games, I haven't thrown out a SINGLE CPU runner trying to take an extra base. I'm talking about games I've PLAYED, not simmed.
It seems like the CPU is tuned to have perfect judgement baserunning-wise on a ball in play.

It depends on the outfielder for me. As the Red Sox, I haven't gotten many with Holt, Betts, or Benintendi but with an elite defender in Bradley, I have 11 assists in about 90 games. Doesn't happen often.

I don't see the same results. I get outfield assists. The cpu makes bad decisions often enough. OP might want to tinker with his sliders. Perhaps the runners are too fast or the OF throwing is set too low.

Agreed. I have thrown runners out at every base except first from the outfield.

I've thrown several runners out from the OF...including at first base... just in last game or two I played threw out runner at home from LF.

Playing every single inning of about 220 games in franchise mode so far, I'd say the outfield assists are definitely there. I probably get 1 every series or 2. Probably 40-50 a year.
