Base running

Re: Base running

I've found the Auto baserunning to be much, much better in 18 than it was in 15 or 16. My runners have made almost no mistakes, they run when they should, and attempt to score from second on a base hit most of the time instead of stopping at 3rd like they used to. They even will run back to first base if I've told them to steal on a hit & run when its a fly ball.

Zero complaints. Best its ever been.

Base running

This is happening on AUTO base running???? I've never once seen this.

No. This happens on assisted or whatever it’s called. But the title of this thread is ‘Base Running’ not ‘Auto Base Running’ so I included my complaint about base running regardless of what OP said. I’m not going to create another Base Running thread for my specific issue when there are a handful of them being discussed here.

Sure sounds like I’ll have to turn it on auto though because the prevalence of this issue is infuriating.

Guys I’m the original post guy, turns out the problem was my controller malfunctioning. All better now.

Re: Base running

My biggest base running problem is the same crap from last year. Guys sliding into third on singles that could easily score runs. I’ve only played 6 full Play Now games (just got the game finally) and this sliding into third crap has already cost me 4 runs and lost me 2 games. It started happening last year and I really hoped they addressed it but alas.. Another year of being extremely frustrated by this. I think last year I lost like 60-70 runs due to this if I added them all up. As well as probably 20-25 games.

So when you tell that runner to run home he stops at third to slide first? Because I have yet to have that happen to me.

Re: Base running

To the OP, I used to have issues back in the day until I switched to classic baserunning. Hit a ball in the gap? X and up on D-Pad. I had problems with the joystick. Classic simplified it for me. I can have multiple runners on and rip a gapper to have all running commands prompted before the ball hits the cut off...

Yeah I use auto. My problems were fixed though because my controller was busted and causing my base running issues.

Make sure you're holding L2 the entire time they're rounding third. If you only press it, they don't continue advancing.

Or you can select the runner individually and hit X and that will send them home.

I don't think it's anything that the devs can address because I don't think it's a glitch. I think it's user error. I've never had a runner stop at a base when I wanted them to advance unless I messed up.

Base running

Anyone else having base running issues?



When I use auto, the runners just stand there after a base hit.



When I use assist, they’re all over the place I have hardly any control.



I’m wondering if maybe my controller is messed up. I’m not seeing anyone else complaining so I’m guessing I’m the only one.

Right, on auto, they don’t move, and on assist, they are really unresponsive. Seem to do they’re own thing. Like runners on first and second, guy hits a fly ball, guy on second goes back to tag up, I send him to third after the catch, he’s safe. The guy from First meanwhile, is standing in no mans land between first and second and gets thrown out by the third basemen after the play at third.



Also , had it on auto, runners on first and second, batter hits a single, runners on base just stand there waiting for me to control them, outfielder throws to the base for the force out, on a single. This happens all the time on my games.

Guys..what you are seeing on auto is a bug. The game is canceling the AB randomly. Next time you play on auto you will see when it’s working that AB is displayed in middle of field diagram. When the bug occurs, the AB is not in there. It is true if you hit L1 while AB is active you will cancel it. But I’ve been playing with the SHOW with AB since around 2008. The bug started a few years ago when SDS started letting you override AB and manually cancel AB to give you more control (great idea). When the game came out this year, the bug was largely fixed. The patches have somehow recreated the bug. That said, patch 1.07 has improved the AB from patch 1.05. The bug is still happening but seems to occur mainly now on HRs and 3rd outs. But sadly I have to watch the field diagram at beginning of every ball in play to make sure it didn’t cancel, which takes away from me enjoying the plays develop.

If interested, you can search my user name as I posted videos last year showing the bug in action.

And contrary to some who suggest it is user error it is not in most instances . Although SDS has not formally acknowledged it is a bug, trust me they know it is there and had made great strides to correct this year before the patches disrupted things.

I was referring to the guy that said he's using assisted. I don't know how auto works.

I tell them to go home by pressing X every time. It still happens. I’ve tried everything you’ve said. It is absolutely a bug lol. And I’m not the only to have seen it. I remember having a discussion about the issue in a stream thread too.

Weird how two people using the same system can have completely different experiences. I don't know how they're supposed to fix a bug that doesn't affect everyone.

Video. Show the video. That gives the devs all kinds of information about the circumstances.

I have before. Last year. I posted it here and on Twitter.

New to the game, how do I remove auto run in conquest? Thanks
