Re: HELP !!! This 1st to 3rd over aggressive baserunning is killing me !!!!!!!

I was reading this thread thinking that I had seen the same complaint from last year...then I came across my own post and realized that it was the same post from last year...

I've not played very much yet, but in the few games that I have played, I have noticed this as a problem. I use AUTO baserunning and I'm getting 2 or 3 guys thrown out going 1st to 3rd in each game...most of the time it's not even close and sometimes in really stupid situations.

I have also had a couple guys thrown out tagging from 2nd to 3rd in situations where they shouldn't even be thinking about it.

I haven't started a franchise yet, so I haven't looked into the adjustments required...is there still that Baserunning Agressiveness attribute that we can lower?

Another good solution (in future) would be for SCEA to still allow input from the user when on AUTO baserunning...they do for leading off and steals. I'm not nearly adept enough to use MANUAL, but I could probably manage to push a button to stop some fool from trying to stretch it.

If you have a runner on 2B and can break the habbit of pressing L1 everytime you smack a ground ball to the left of the infield, manual baserunning isn't too hard or complicated.

Well, that's my common problem with manual baserunning, lol.

That aside, with Manual baserunning on..***nners still stop halfway to next base on flyballs (you don't have to control EVERY aspect with manual baserunning, the AI still tries to help out).

Its just getting in the habbit of pressing L1 to move runners up. Unlike MLB09, I have noticed something new in MLB10....if you want to advance a runner on 1B to 3B when your batter hits a double off the wall...the AI will move the runner on 1B to 2B, however...if you wait to late to hit L1 (to advance the runner to 3B) and the runner on 1B gets to close to 2B, a new animation will happen causing a severe delay in the runner on 1B making the turn to 3B.

On hits to RF, I sometimes see it....rare I see on hits to LF...ground balls into RF or CF, I sometimes see it...but [/b]linedrive to CF[/b], for me...100% of time, runner on 1st goes to 3rd.

Well, that's a lot different than seeing it 100% of the time to CF, like you initially inferred, and I still don't see what you're seeing to this extreme to CF. It's there though.

LOL I was gonna start one on this but searched and saw one from last year.

For players it might but I didn't look.
For gameplay sliders though it doesn't look like it's in there. I looked for it but couldn't find it. i may just have missed it though. idk.

Geez, this main forum.

Here's what you said originally.

in Manager Mode (CPU or AI controls ALL baserunners for balls in play)...if a runner is on 1B and batter gets a hit to CF...100% of the time runner on 1B goes for 3B.

I responded that. You came back later and said "linedrive". There's a difference. There's a LOT of misinformation given out in this forum and your original statement was one. If it's now "linedrive", so be it.

I lowered the fielder arms slider down to 3 and it seems to have helped a lot. It doesn't really seem to affect infielders, and according to the info about the slider in the game it has no effect at all on catcher throws.

Guys still get thrown out but not as much as when the fielder arm slider is at default. It's also not so bad that guys are taking extra bases left and right. Maybe guys get an extra base here or there, but that's a worthy sacrifice to tone down the outfield assists at 3rd IMO. And in my opinion most guys with at least average speed should be getting to third on a hit to RF...unless of course it's a laser shot out there or a midway hanger where the runner has to hold up to see if it's going to be caught.

OMG!!! Someone took the initiative to try some things out instead of complaining all day.

Well done sir!!!

Would lowering base-runner speed do the trick? I'd try it but I dont have a PS3 right now. Of course, you'd probably have to tinker with fielder throwing strength to get a nice balance.

no...if anything needs to be adjusted, it would be the baserunning aggressiveness slider.

Yeah, if only there was one.

This is IMHO the biggest problem with the game right now. Not only are all of the AI runners too aggressive, they do it in crazy situations. I was down one the other day in the 9th with a runner on 2nd and he tagged on a fly to center field. Thrown out by a mile at 3rd game over. You are already in scoring position!!!!!!
Anyway, would love to see this addressed in a roster update or patch #3 if there is one.

I'm seeing it to think I'm going to start a thread for gameplay tweaking if we do another patch.

Are you talking for Manage only mode? If so would it be possible to tell your runner to go back after he starts his mad dash to third by hitting the R1 button, (think that's the one).
