Where is my First Baseman? What is he doing?

[DavidPuddy]

I play manual defence (franchise mode) and this first baseman issue is pretty bad, seems to happen a lot. Very frustrating because it can impact the outcome of a game. I've never experienced so many bugs in previous years of the show.

Saw these videos. Passing them along. Thank you.

Completely agree with this. Outfielders rarely "nonchalant" a fly ball with runners on.

I scored on a play where my guy was thrown out from the outfield, but the catcher just let him slide by him, before making a sweep tag far too late.

Also just played a game in my fantasy draft season against a team that had Mitch Moreland at SS (he throws lefty, in case you didn't know).



Game has been pretty solid otherwise.

this is exactly whats happening to me, make a great play, then first baseman is way off the bag. This is happening to me Offline franchise mode. And, it happens with no runners at first also.

this happens all the time to me in franchise mode , especially when you have a short hit to the outfield when in past years you could throw out the runner at first , this year i think they have him stand off the bag so you can't do that anymore.
