Auto Base Running: Runners never lead off

[buggs1a]

Auto baserunning sucks this year. Runners routinely round third and are thrown out by a mile.

I have not had any problems with that. Actually it's been working pretty good.

I agree.....I think the baserunning is the best it's ever in the series so far.
I see players taking the extra base on throws home .....and a little more aggressive than the familiar station to station of years past.

I haven't tooled with the sliders yet...but I'm sure if there is something to the outs at home...a combo of reaction....arm strength....baserunner speed could remedy it....but I haven't seen it yet.

I'm just hope they could bring back the pick offs back into the game whether it's by bringing back the extra step or perhaps just lowering the threshold of the lead when the sliding animations are shown along with the occasional successful pick off. In my game this evening I threw over to the bag at least a dozen times (with slow and fast base runners) and the base runner got back standing up every time.

I don't know about auto baserunning, but I routinely throw the CPU out at home by a mile.

I'd assume auto baserunning runs on the same engine as CPU opponents?

Because the CPU definitely seems to be overly aggressive on the basepaths.

That was a problem last year, too.

I don't know about that.

The game has been way too station-to-station the last few years.

Keep in mind I use Auto pretty much everything so me gunning out runners is impossible.
