post patch baserunning bug?

[m-dogg]

never saw this before and now have seen it 3 times in 2 games. I have a man on second, hit a gapper with no shot of being caught and my player just stands on second...does not even move once the ball falls in for a hit....then the hitter only goes to first even though he should have a double because his ******** teammate stayed at second no matter what.

this then happened again twice while playing my brother online, costing him a run once and me a run once. its not like hes tagging up in case its caught, since the ball had no chance of being caught, he jsut refuses to advance a base. i have autoround bases, and baserunning help both ON. once again, ive played tons of games before the patch and never saw this once.

anyone else have this happen to them? very frustrating since it invloves actual gameplay....

Don't think it is a post-patch bug because its happened to me before the patch AND after. Not that big of a deal for me because i can successfully control my baserunners, but i can understand how it is an issue

Yeah I think this is a added problem with the patch.

Re: post patch baserunning bug?

its pretty severe, you'll know when you see it. you have to switch to that baserunner as soon as you hit it and queue him up to run home but it takes so long for him to start running you can only get to 3rd safely. before he would automaticly start running and then I would manually queue him to come home before he got to 3rd...

hope its just a 3 time glitch and not a new issue, weird that ive never had it before...

I do not have the update (yet), and I see that problem all the time.

Re: post patch baserunning bug?

I've been having a problem post-patch where the runner on 1st will get to 2nd, STOP... and then suddenly take off for 3rd..even though I stopped him at 2nd..I have no control over him and no way to stop him.

Re: post patch baserunning bug?

seems to me that if you have baserunning on auto and make your runner leadoff then he becomes under your control and won't advance unless you make him, least i think thats how it works, i remember seeing this happen before and i think thats whats happening.

Re: post patch baserunning bug?

People this is not a slider or a post patch issue. It is a bug in the AI. I have never seen the basemen do what the TC said, but I have seen my 3B man just looking at the ground walking back and fourth right after the batter hit the ball right over his head and into the outfield. It like the cpu just stops and forgets that they are on the field or something. This is a serious issue that needs to be fixed next year.
