I don't like the new baserunning controls for RTTS. And by the way (and I haven't tried it yet) but if you use the square/triangle/circle to just select which base to run to how do you make your guy slide without causing him to possibly reverse directions?

The baserunning is really bad. I just can't fathom why they would make such an easy aspect of baseball and make it really difficult.

Yeah, I don't usually complain but this has been killing me all day. I just wish the option of using L1/R1 was still there. My worst instance was taking a big turn at 1st, deciding not to go for two...yet after switching the analog stick back in the opposite direction, my guy continued to run straight to 2nd and into a waiting tag.

Happened 2 seconds ago:

At 2nd with less than 2 outs. A semi-deep fly and I tag up and the camera turns towards outfield. As the ball is caught, I run to 3rd by pressing left and see it's a strong throw, camera turns around again and I instinctively press right to run back. I continue to 3rd before I realize my mistake and turn around. By then, my goose was pretty much cooked.

Moral of the story: Make sure you really pay attention to the camera instead of paying attention to the field.

Obviously this is no knock on the development team, who has done an excellent job with this game. However, I feel that moreso than anything, the explanation of the directions for base running as shown in both the manual and the game are simply inadequate and do not do a good enough job of explaining how to use the controls. This is probably the main problem with this IMHO.

In addition, I think the way these new controls were designed was a little strange, as it is unfamiliar to anyone who's ever played a baseball game before. However, I also get the sense that as with everything else in this iteration of "The Show", a little practice will make everything much easier.

Is there any chance of a patch to give us the option for the old, simpler controls?

Hey, like they say..if it aint broke, dont fix it.... And here's another one... Sometimes change isnt always for the better...

I hate throwing the word patch around for every little thing, but is it possible to patch in the old system of base running using the L1/R1 scheme? I know the creative lead on Guitar Hero 4 (Wii) and I saw how difficult it was to program buttons and such, so I was wondering if thats something that would be feasible.

I am glad I wasn't the only one having these problems. I played 20 games, and I still haven't got the hang of it.
