Squeeze play issue back?

[capa]

I have been playing franchise with oldtime roster set. I have been seeing a number of instances where the old squeeze play issue is rearing its head again. I just had 3 attempts in a row from the cpu team! In fact, guys seem to be bunting for a base hit way too often as well with no one on.

That plus no one seems to be able to steal a base...cpu...human runners...everyone gets thrown out...even though the animation makes them appear safe.

Anyone seeing either of these items this year?

I have yet to encounter the squeeze issue. Being that you’re using an old time roster set, do the batters have good bunting attributes? If so that could explain it. In my franchise with current players I’ve only had the opposition sacrifice bunt (1 on, no out, 8th inning, pretty standard).

I’m definitely having the stealing issue though. Guy clearly beats the throw by a mile and is called out.

I always go thru the roster before I start my franchise and take a look at some of the bunting and adjust. I haven't had one in 20 games yet. The stealing issue. I often look at it and say "he was safe", then when I put it on slow mo and take a look at it, the call has been correct.

One thing is there is no collision detection, so hands will go OVER the base without touching it and sometimes the call is wrong, however, since I upped the slider steal success it seems to be working much better now.

I haven't had the CPU attempt a squeeze play on me yet this year, so maybe it was an anomaly. I even had one point last night with a man on 3rd and 1st with no outs and the pitcher up. He swung away so I would say it's in a good place right now. Might be your difficulty level

What I started doing which seems to work is pickoff to third base. It seems to disabuse the cpu from trying the squeeze but the squeeze play isn't a cheat. It's actually clever programming by whichever dev did it.

I’ve had 2 squeeze attempts but both times they missed and the runner continued running home and was easily tagged out. Not having issues with steals. The cpu steals on me often
