You could throw directly to the cutoff using the L1 button as suggested earlier in the thread if you want to hold the runner behind. If you want full control, then you need to go all manual. As far as the CPU decisions in this situation, there will be a cut in two cases: 1) No chance of getting the runner out at home 2) The runner will still be out with the throw through the cutoff If you are seeing cutoffs that do not result in an out when a throw straight to home would definitely have gotten the out, that's a bug. Please report it.

Hi..yes I use L1 when I know I can't get the runner given the outfielder arm strength. And I understand the full control option. I will submit bug report on AI. I can't say a straight throw would definitely result in an out. What I can say is that the AI is cutting throws that IRL the infielder would not cut as there is a play at home. My only suggestion, if possible, is to add the option with AutoFielding ON to cut a throw. This would be similar to auto baserunning where you can manually trigger a steal or override an auto runner. I think there are quite a few who would welcome the cutoff option. Thanks.
