Auto or manual baserunning?

Do you use guess pitch?

This has been a legacy issue for years. They also constantly dive back to a base on balls in the dirt too. Baserunning logic as a whole needs a retooling when the cpu is involved.

I know its been a problem for years and I thought it was at one time possibly linked to guess pitch.

I use manual and never have experienced this issue myself which is why I was inquiring which method of base running you were using to see if possibly it was user error, tied to auto baserunning, or if, since the topic is being re-visited, see if we could find a possible cause to pass along to devs.

My apologies for trying to help and assist.

Carry on.

Unfortunately baserunning is tuned for online play, and there is nothing you can do to change that. It's why your runner will always be sluggish changing directions on the basepaths, no matter how good they should be. It's too prevent online cheese, but it honestly causes a lot of problems for offline players.

Unfortunately, caring about offline players seems to be last on the list anymore. I’m not complaining though. At least we still have it. I don’t think it will be too much longer before offline is completely bare bones, only exhibition type games and put all their money into the online cheese.

I know what you mean. I was playing DD, had Gwynn on 2nd and Yelich hit a bloop single, Gwynn was halfway between 2nd and 3rd, and even though the ball dipped in, he went back to second base. I've had it happen on a number of occasions... I use manual running, but if he's going halfway, I shouldn't have to tell him to go to third... No clue why they're diving backwards when the obvious move is to move from base to base.

Re: Players Diving back to the base !

It is the Christian Yelich effect. During the playoffs last year he did that on what should have been a hit for Ryan Braun. Yelich was out at second even though the ball reached the outfield and what should have been a hit was instead a fielders choice.
