    Re: PS3 Baserunning Controls

    For my RTTS, I had to use the L1 + R1 buttons to run because the analog was giving me too many fits, especially on trying to go back on fly balls.

    Also...

    I've been on base around 4 or 5 times with full counts and 2 outs and it will not let me take off running until the ball reaches the plate. My guy only sidesteps and then once the pitch is over I can start running.

    Anyone else have this problem???

      Well guys I am going to withdrawal from the thread. I did not see any issues with it playing last night. Good luck with your quest!

        I also use classic and had an issue today. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. I hit the ball up the middle and press triangle and down like I normally would to send the guy on 2nd home. He stopped at third.

        While I'm not having the terrible issues you guys are, yet, I've been having some problems.


        I also noticed one time I pressed circle and up to make a guy round the bag and go to second. He stopped at first. It wasn't so bad because I was going to send him back to first anyway, but still. Later, I did the same thing but he rounded properly the second time.


        I'm happy they got rid of the slow down around third, but this issue is just as bad.

          In your above scenario that runner heading up the line is designated to the "x" button until he actually passes over the bag and then is designated to the circle button. So if you wanted him to go to second it would be "x" and up on the d-pad. Correct? An issue I can see people having is waiting to input the command when they are close to the bag and their button designation changes resulting in no response.

            You could be right. I'm not exactly sure what the buttons are off the top of my head because it's just second nature to me since I've always used classic.

            I don't believe I was pressing the wrong buttons, but if that was the reason he didn't round, then that was the problem. I also don't believe it didn't respond because the button changed before I pressed down.

            Whatever the reason, I'll be paying closer attention now that I've commented in this thread.

              Ya I see in your videos you are having no problems.

              I can see if you press it when the people are close to the bag but im pressing the x,o,square button way before they get to the bag and expecting them to run and they don't.

              I am going to try a new controller today and see if maybe mine is just on it's way out, my only problem with that is that I have no issues playing MLB 13, but I will try it out

I got frustrated with runners running to an occupied base, because the controls weren't working properly. I don't know how many times I had a runner stop at third, even though I gave him the command to go home, then to have the batter keep going all the way to third.

                Something is off, that the icon buttons aren't showing on the screen properly, or something. The controls are definitely NOT responding how they should.

                I was thinking the same thing about the icons cause im pressing them and sometimes the runners doesn't go and sometimes he keeps going

                  Im uploading a video right now that I will post when it is done, but it is of a simple pop up out with a runner on first now the runner is going and I send him to third, by pressing the button and directional button to third. he rounds the base Now his button is not the triangle over his head.

                  The ball is still in the air so I press the directional to second and the x button to send the guy who hit the ball to second and as you can see the runner going to third goes back to second

                  Mind you this is with a new controller

                    I hope people don't think im just ranting or hating the game, I'm not I love this game and this is the only problem I have ever had with The Show since it came out.

                    Im just trying to see if it is something wrong with the game, cause I can go play The Show 13 and have no issues with base running

                        Sent both runners here the guy on 2nd with a triangle and down to go home and the guy running to second sent him but as you see only the person who got a hit ran to second and never pressed a cricel or an x to make him gon anywhere

                          It's not that classic doesn't work, it's that it doesn't work like it has in every other version of the game, so if you've always used default in the past you wouldn't notice any problems with classic. I can fire up 13, 12, 11, 10 or any of the old games and get my runners to run the bases with ease just out of simple muscle memory because I've always used classic. But this year, classic doesn't work like it has in the past. That is what is giving all of us who always use classic problems.

                          I literally went from playing 13 the morning of this year's release before I got it, and ran the bases fine. Later that afternoon, during the very first inning of playing 14, I couldn't get my runners to run the bases properly because classic baserunning has been changed this year.

                            Yes exactly. I just wanna know why they changed it. I didn't think anything was wrong with it the way it was

                              I'm hoping that the changes to classic are just a mistake that can be fixed in a patch... classic base running was perfect, IMO it was the best base running system I've ever played in a video game. I have no idea why they would purposely change it.

                                Ya I hope so but there doesn't seem to be a lot of talk about the classic base running
