Push the left stick in the direction of the guy on first, his icon (a little orange circle) should "pulse" to signify that he is selected, then I think you press L2 (or hold and release L2 to pick exactly he goes).

Edit: Ninja'd, I guess there's two options on the table.

I'll try both. Thanks guys!

Thanks, I've looked at that but some of it is a little confusing for someone with a tiny brain like myself.

I mean, I've pushed the left stick towards the guy on first before and nothing happens besides the PCI moving. I must be missing something. I just need more time on the baserunning front, I guess.

The digital manual that comes with the game is pretty handy too, it's actually specific to PS4 as well.

Yeah, when I move the left stick toward the runner on first, the PCI moves, which makes me wonder if I've selected anything. But I haven't been watching the mini-diagram of the bases. I'll try again.

baserunning is killing me on this game.

No idea what to do.

Bases loaded and a flyout. Want the guy on 3rd to tag. What do I press and when?

left stick to the left to highlight runner on 3rd (his yellow dot will begin to flash/pulse) press X

Done.

Default base running is very easy once you actually know what your doing.

Last night I had first and second, deep fly ball to center pressed R1 to return all...waited for the catch, held down L1 to send both runners to tag up.

I did have a quirk last night though....ticked me off. I had 1st and 3rd and no outs. I ripped a gap double but before I hit it I sent my runner from first on a designed hit and run....once I hit the ball I knew it was going to get into the gap for extra bases so I highlighted my runne heading to second to go home....as he rounded second he stopped and started heading back.....I was flipping out LOL.

This has happened a few times now. Some wonky control issues on 14 that are rearing their ugly head here and there. Along with check swings...that has all of a sudden become a bit wonky. I really really hope a second patch for PS3 is in the works to address some of these control issues as well as the ultra sensitive check swings this year.
