Bassrunning interface Removed on patch

Re: Bassrunning interface Removed on patch

I know this is unlikely but since this seems to have been done intentionally and not by accident according to some, is it possible that they chose to do this becuase they were noticing that with the new throw home cutoff system has become easier to throw out runners at home and get perfect throws (possibly during online games) so they chose to pick something to do to " curb" the throw out at home rates..and removing this was a attempt to make this harder to acheive becuase u cant see where anyone is...instead of digging into the new "throw system/feature whatever they want to label it as, to just tweak that instead..maybe the online players (even offline)have been complaining and sending feedback that we didnt realize?

We’re certainly going to find out. If it’s not reversed.

Where else would you be throwing the ball but to 2B if it's a single? I agree it shouldn't have been completely removed, but I was responding to the idea that saying the game is unplayable is an overreaction. It's not unplayable at all unless you don't know where the ball is supposed to go in particular situations.

Ball hit into the gap but cut off, you should be getting it in to second base quickly. You don't need to see the baserunner to know that.

For the same reason I can’t use manual base running. Want to screw up an exciting game? Just watch me easily put 2 runners standing on 3rd base. Want to screw up an exciting game? Just watch me throw to the cutoff man when the new cpu aggressive base running decides to head into second. This is not about what you are capable of doing as a “gamer”, but what a ton of us aren’t.

It makes it unplayable.

That's exactly the point! In reality all we are losing is the fact that we know the base runner is trying to snag an extra base. Fundamentally, whether it's a relay or a straight throw to the base, this is predetermined by the outfield shift, depth,etc...

I want this indication back because if a batter hits a flare and decides to stretch it to double I can see that they are stretching it VS. I need this indication to know what is already known the ball goes to the second base not the cut off man. This same example can apply to several situations when we think about it! This game is impossibly unplayable because of this issue, IMO.

I noticed it today also in manage mode. Did they indicate what setting to use to get it back?

I believe if you have manual fielding on it shows. But I'm not sure if that does anything in MOM. You might not be able to get it in the mode you play, which does suck if you want it on.

That's not about being a "gamer" that's about knowing baseball. It doesn't take stick skills to realize a ball down the line or in the gap that is fielded needs to be thrown in to the base and not the cutoff man.

I'm sure they'll bring the setting back to how it was. I agree that it was a dumb decision, but to say it makes the game unplayable is excessive to me. Hopefully it's quickly for y'all that need it.

Yes thank god for this thank you for fixing this quick, still though why did they remove it? And was the backlash so bad they backflipped?

Re: Bassrunning interface Removed on patch

I had to back out of a game because I had no idea what was going on when I was in the field. The announcers don't always mention if a the cpu baserunner was heading 2nd or 3rd. They did say something if the runner was heading home.

Should be a fix tomorrow

Re: Bassrunning interface Removed on patch

This will be fixed.

They most definitely are looking into it....because it was implemented completely wrong. Tied it to the wrong toggle.

It is being looked at. Trust me.

Re: Bassrunning interface Removed on patch

Yes, this is getting ridiculous. This feature is important to me and may be the nail in the coffin for me and this game if this isn’t corrected soon.

You will be glad to know that the problem you spoke of has been repaired with the last patch posted 4-2-20. All the problems seem to have been repaired from the elimination of the blue circle around the base of the fielders to the ability to one again see your base runners. I think this latest patch will eliminate your problem and makes MLB 2020 the best baseball game so far.

It was too fast. I suspect they already discovered it in 1.06 testing, decided to release 1.06 anyway because of the other things it patched, with plans to release a patch (1.07) ASAP afterwards to fix this issue.

You are only isolating certain instances.

Yeah....we know my man. I have 45 years of playing and coaching...I know where the balls are supposed to be thrown...based on what it going on in front of me. Without that......you do not have eyes to see what runners are attempting in certain situations. You keep talking about the easy simple...automatic throws....but there are plenty of other situations where you have to make decisions based on situation and what the runners are doing or not doing.

I am talking second and third...do I fire to third or go for the guy at home? Mmmmm how about a guy tagging from second to third. should I hit the cut of go for a seed throw and take a chance he is not tagging and make an overthrow and then he get’s the base anyway......stretching singles to doubles......if you want any shot at nailing some guys on a stretch double you cannot do the cut off route....you must attempt a seed throw from the corner of the outfield. Without being able to see if the CPU is attempting that.....I am conceding it every time because I will not attempt a seed throw every time with the risk of an errant throw.....because they do happen and they will then get the base they were not even attempting to get.

Again...most of the time it is pretty automatic where to go....but not every time and that is called playing blind and making assumptions. IRL we do not make assumptions....we can see what is happening in front of us.....that is why we have that diamond in the top right corner......it is our field vision that we simply do not have on a video game like we do IRL.

Anyway they did the right thing.....they brought it back for those that make their own throws.

If your letting the CPU make the throws you would never need a visual aide....because you are not doing anything. Your simply watching.

I think in future versions of the game they can simply make a specific toggle for the baserunner visual aide so those that want it off and want to play that way.....can. That is the right solution. Not the arbitrary manner in which they just....shut it off.

They knew it was flawed after discussions and righted a wrong.

I don’t disagree that all of us should have the options to play the way we want. This game has always been the pillar of sports games in providing numerous options to play the game.

I gave very good feedback to them so they can implement it better next time around.

They righted a wrong on this one. The game is playing amazingly and looks fantastic again for those that play a clean screen (blue circle gone, white dot pitch call out gone).

Re: Bassrunning interface Removed on patch

Armor,

Good points.
This game is a few toggle options away from broadcast, clean screen perfection. Unfortunately, it appears the baserunner diamond is back under all scenarios. Any ideas if they will try again with better logic like you seem to mention? i.e not there on offense if you have auto baserunning and auto sliding ON and not there on defense if auto throwing is ON; and not there when playing/watching CPU vs CPU? But agree...the removal of the white dot and blue circle for auto fielding is nice...I've always liked the thought of playing defense manually but the blue circle, helpers, notifications (switch player, cut off man, ball icon on HR wall, etc.) turn me off from it.
Well, back to playing now...
