Auto Baserunning Broken After Patch 1.10

Re: Auto Baserunning Broken After Patch 1.10

I've brought this up in the past and it sounds ridiculous but It's all about how you're holding your controller. You will disable auto base running if you ever so slightly press the L1/R1 or the L2/R2 buttons. I noticed last year that my fingers would press these buttons accidentally when I geared up for a swing. Ever since I moved my fingers away from resting on top of these buttons to below and off I've had zero issues. Sounds stupid but this is 100% the reason.

How do you explain the same problems happening when playing MoM when a person isn't even holding the controller?

Re: Auto Baserunning Broken After Patch 1.10

Been playing this game before some people on here were born. It all started when SDS introduced AB and manual override. It is a great feature and I love it. It is usually tuned pretty well each year on release. When they add patches to fix other things, some patches affect this override. The end result is the override occurs even when Shark457 says you don't touch anything else. I have put out youtube videos in years past showing this glitch. Trust me...SDS knows about it.

I didn't suddenly forget how to hold a controller..my carpal tunnel agrees lol.

Based upon the thread that so many chimed in on giving there ages i was pleasently suprised to see that so many on here who play this game have also played this game the entire 15 years of its exsistance and we are mostly a " veteran crowd" . it was great to see all the age ranges that were stated. this proves further sds needs to make sure they put effort into the things our crowd wants addressed as well. cuase frankly alot of our issues we want fixed are core parts of baseball it should be top priority to fix gameplay issues...fielding, baserunning, etc. and things like bullpen management that goes untouched for years.

Re: Auto Baserunning Broken After Patch 1.10

Base running is based on base running aggression. If your baserunner has low aggression, he's going station to station. High aggression, He Gone. That's why you need to control the base runner to have some sense of control.

Exactly..that is why the freezing is frustrating. Once you realize it has canceled it is too late to advance the runner(s) properly. So the runners are stuck in no man's land.

However, even more frustrating is when they head backwards on a ground ball in a force out situation. With the runners momentum heading in the wrong direction it is very hard to correct for it with the advance button and get them to the next base safely. I refer to this as the Christian Yelich effect from the playoff game where he ran back to first on a ground ball (which should have been a hit) from Braun.

These baserunning issues easily result in 2 to 3 additional outs per game. On the other hand the cpu runners never have these issues.

It's like all of the other video games - sports related - there are "under the hood" attributes that have to be tweaked, and clearly baserunning was impacted by this last slider. Unfortunately, there are THOUSANDS of players that would have to be altered. Maybe try increasing/raising the baserunner speed slider a notch??

Shouldn't have to tweak ratings for basic baseball fundamentals like advancing on a ground ball in a forceout situation, running at the crack of the bat when there are two outs, not stopping at first base on hits to the gaps and the wall, tagging up from third on a deep fly ball and more.

From my experience, it's fine 75 percent of the time, but in one of every four situations there is a baserunning blunder.

Love the game and doing my best to remember to manually control my runners, but this should have been a priority fix long ago.

Re: Auto Baserunning Broken After Patch 1.10

When batting I try to hit L1 quickly after a ground ball to nudge the runners in the right direction, but sometimes that is not enough to offset the baserunning blunder.

They do in MoM. A lot of stupid baserunning mistakes.

For MLB the Show 21 the developers should make as a priority fixing the baserunning problems. This is now clearly the weakest part of the game.

I think that for the most part, the rest of the game works fine. They've cleared up most of the issues that I had with fielding already.

Re: Auto Baserunning Broken After Patch 1.10

I agree that the rest of the game works pretty well. At least what issues that do remain are not as big as the baserunning issues.

SDS has fixed fielding issues to make the game playable now so the next big issue is fixing this base running stuff this is the biggest gameplay issue going right now but this is one of the most ridiculous issues because it’s so basic and just one of the dumb when you look at it this should be dealt with ASAP but SDS needs to just do it and stop focusing on small B.S. issues and deal with gameplay issues first.

Re: Auto Baserunning Broken After Patch 1.10

I played a game today where I had 18 base runners. And got shut out. So, if you were wondering if that were possible, it is!

I covered the whole Bingo card. Guys waiting far too long to run and only advancing one base instead of two or scoring. Runners on second not moving on a clear base hit. Runners waiting far too late to run, and then getting thrown out. Guys getting picked off first base when I didn't tell them to steal.

And double plays. So many double plays. The worst was when I had runners on first and second with one out, and hit a fly ball that was clearly going to land in front of the center fielder. But my men didn't move until the ball hit the ground, so the CF threw to second, then he threw to first, and that was the inning.

The wind was blowing in at about 10mph, so anything in the air got knocked down. And this was just a crazy example of how the game almost forces you to hit homers in order to score right now.
