    That's just sad truthfully.

      lol, I'd love for this to be true. As far as bunting, the only player I ever bunt with is my pitcher. I've tried to steal a hit with George Brett (who has the 'Bunt Master' quirk) a couple of times for Conquest missions, and it worked once and didn't the other time.

      Unpopular opinion: bunting is going the way of the dinosaur, so I think them being ineffective in-game is fine. Nevermind the fact that in the past, a majority of the players could get a bunt down in-game any time on nearly any pitch. I'd rather you have to work to get a good bunt down than being able to square and guarantee a successful bunt.

        I agree with this.

        I had a guy on 1st and was trying to sacrifice with Julio Teheran and almost got a basehit on a low CHANGEUP as the ball rocketed past the left of the 3B to the dirt where the SS normally is (he wheeled to cover 2B) so the 3B had to wheel around and throw a 90+ perfect throw to first to get me out.

        It makes trying to play small ball really tough because these rocket bunts go straight to a field lots of times and my lead-guy gets thrown out.

        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

              Well "lmao" all you want. Want to share your secret as it is a problem. It's even a problem that SCEA admittedly created. It's real and it's quite frustrating. If you'd like to tell us your "fix" we're all listening.

                  We need someone from SCEA to tell us why we are being made put up with this offline. Plain and simple

                    My money would say rocket bunts will NOT be fixed. It was there last year and nothing was done. It is working as they designed it, and who it was put in for, and the offline franchise crowd will just have to 'deal with it'. It makes you think about using DH for the National league. SMH.

                      Novel idea. If people on line want to "cheat", then let them. Then perhaps people will start boycotting the cheaters.

                        But for a true and realistic baseball experience why not fix it?

                          Probably because they are more inclined to make online "work" than offline. I don't think you can separate the two.

                            I'm sort of glad bunting doesn't work well. In the past, I've replied on bunting way too much when I'm struggling to score runs. It was way too easy to bunt down the line for a hit.

                              It's an important situational tool they basically stripped from the game. There is a balance that can be achieved. It went from exploit to irrelevant.

                                Then they need to tell people that before they buy the game. I'm lucky that I rent before buy
