PS3 Baserunning Controls

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

It feels like they make it harder to control every year, or it just gets sloppier, I'm not sure.

I screwed up in franchise mode one too many times and just put it on auto-baserunning. There are times that it will not do what I'd prefer, but it's still more accurate than I ever was with those controls.

I think this has been the only year I have had this much problems with base running

Can anyone throw up any replay vids showing the issues?

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

I've been using default and have had some trouble. My guys round 1st fine, but 2nd or 3rd and they stop and then start running again. Really making me mad. I turned off the game earlier because it made me so mad today. I had a guy on second got a base hit sent the guy home and he stops at 3rd then starts going again. All of a sudden he's out at the plate. He would have been safe if he didn't stop.

Try going from 2nd to 3rd and letting go of the stick (or having it slightly bump the opposite direction) and having your runner stop, then proceed to go back to 2nd (during this time I am yelling, screaming, htting buttons, moving the stick and trying to get the runner to go back but he just won't) only to get tagged out (or doubled up) on 2nd. I think I busted quite a few blood vessels from these scenarios. I just gave up on any sort of base running as I am terrible at it :-(

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

I've always used classic, and it's always worked the same way every year, until this year. It used to be that if you wanted the batter who just hit the ball to go to second, you'd hit o and then up... as soon as he got out of the box if you wanted. Now you have to hit x then up. It's like the runners don't get counted as being on first (or second or third) until they are on or past the bag already, where as before it used to be if a runner was running from first to second, in order to send him to third you'd hit triangle and left, even if he hadn't gotten to second yet. Now you have to hit o and left, because he's still considered on first until he gets all the way to second. It's really screwing me up. I wish they would've left classic baserunning the way it was, it was perfect.

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

The problem is so bad I am seriously considering going back to 13 with update rosters for this season. There is basically a big old pile of glue sitting on 3B for your baserunner to run into. Controller input (on BR assist) is ignored. Does what it wants. Have lost of ton of gimme runs already.

Cannot fathom playing a franchise all summer long if these baserunning issues persist and SCEA does not address them. I'll have a stroke.

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

I don't know that it's bad enough to warrant going back to 13, but it is bad enough that I am trying to learn the default baserunning system, which is horrible IMO. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

Gotta agree with all said. I've always played auto base running and in addition to the removal of the lead off and steal options being removed , I had 2 players picked off with 27 and 29 ratings ,, a runner on 2nd that did not advance on a deep fly to right center and a runner thrown out at the plate on a single to shallow LF. Manual base running is cumbersome and sounds as if guys that have used that mode are having issues. Hopefully both modes get fixed soon , and please simplify this mode. The 2k series does this aspect rather easily.

Same thing happened here. I've also had a bases loaded situation where I hit a sac fly.....hit 'square' & 'down' to go home from third, hit 'triangle' & 'left' to go from second to third.....however, the runner going home just returned to third and the runner from second never moved.

Okay so I'm the O.P., and I see that I'm not the only one with the baserunning issues. Last night I tried it with default baserunning, and it seemed to work. However, I really don't like default baserunning, it all seems backwards, so I prefer classic baserunning, but it seems like it's not working correctly.

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

I am going to give classic a try tonight. I want to see what everyone is talking about.

Runner on first, Dobbs hits a double I send the runner to 3B but you can see he rounds second then goes back to second in which I have to press the buttons again to make him go to 3B now Dobbs who I told to go to second gets to second and rounds it going to 3B which i did not tell him to do so ya this is kinda pissing me off

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

So a general synopsis in this 3 pg thread so far is that default base running appears to work , classic base running is having issues , and auto base running has too many pick offs and the ability to manually input lead offs , steals , and hit & runs while in auto mode removed. Does that sound about right gentlemen ?
Hopefully the devs get a fix in soon. Until then it will be exhibition games for me. And lets hope this doesn't transition over th the ps4 version.

Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

I have another video I will post later I only advanced one runner but all the runners advanced

I just dont know why they changed the classic base running I never had an issue or disliked it in anyway. Was easy to advance runners and they did what you told them to do.

So im not really sure if this is a bug and should be reported or not but I think I will

I did add it to the bug report as # 10812
