    Runners have to be able to score from 2nd on a base hit to RF SOMETIMES!!!!

    This is beyond ridiculous. Every single time I have a hit to RF and a runner on 2nd I am getting thrown out at home. We are talking about guys with 85+ speed. This has got to be fixed.

    Well, it can be fixed by simply stopping at 3rd base..

      Is that realistic? When you are watching an MLB game does a runner on second get thrown out if he doesnt stop at 3rd every single time?

        Maybe try lowering "fielder arm strength outfield" in the sliders menu?

          Unfortunately that doesnt work either, because it makes all throws too weak then you can never throw anyone out. I did some extensive testing with Puig to get the correct slider position to match up with arm strength rating. Its not guys like him Im getting thrown out with either, its scrubs in the minors.

            This is true. Unfortunately, from my amateur perspective, it seems the outfield size-scale compared with arm strength leads to this problem. I agree, runners on 2nd with a 65+ speed should be able to score often. Not every time, but often.

                Another part of this is that outfielders charge the ball full speed all the way through fielding it; they don't have to break down at all. So they get to the ball faster and have a shorter throw than in real life.

                  85+ speed? How hard were the hits to right? What kind of secondary lead did you get? Lots of factory involved.

                  Line drives directly to the right fielder, yeah he's probably not going to score. However, if they are ground balls getting to the outfield, they should have no problem scoring.

                    The user can't control the secondary lead of the runner. It's the same for every player.

                      If the players, especially the ai players wouldn't throw strikes on every play, that would help also.

                        Just a regular ole ground ball single to RF, not soft, but not a screamer either, Id say it was a hardish hit ball that skipped 3 or 4 times through the infield grass/dirt before reaching the OF.

                          It also depends on the stadium's you are playing at. Playing my home games at Yankee Stadium, i know not to challenge things hit to RF because of the short porch. Same as anything hit to LF in Boston. The OF plays so shallow in stadiums like that, it makes it nearly impossible to score on balls hit to those positions.

                          In addition, JR already mentioned the hard charging that OF do in the game which plays a major impact.

                            Its like this in any stadium. Its simply bad programming and needs to be fixed ASAP.

                              Boh. Was always using either armor and swords or mike lows sliders and had no problems with this. Scored plenty from 2nd base on ground hits.
