That's the way fouls are a lot of times in this game in general. It's not just your fouls - when I get the CPU to pop up foul, it's the same behavior.

Sometimes they do this and then sometimes they just stand and stare at the ball before realizing it's 4 feet in front of them and they go get it. I don't know what dictates which happens.

When Im facing a tough pitcher and I manage to get good timing and good contact...only to ground out or pop up or even miss the ball....

Not enough offense, stolen bases too difficult to accomplish in manage mode.

One gripe people havent really mentioned is when Matt Vasgersian gives away whats going to happen.

Especially on fly balls that are close to the wall and may or may not go out and then the whole he blows through the stop sign line, that means the guys out before it happens.

Base runner speed difference between CPU and human. Prince Fielder (CPU) hit a line drive off the wall in right center and walked into 2nd with a double. Robinson Cano (Human) hit almost the same spot but the ball rolled to the wall and was thrown out at 2nd by 3 feet.

Prince Fielder speed - 29
Robinson Cano speed - 44

would love to see catchers tagging out batters that strike out on pitch in the dirt. unless it actually gets away from the catcher. Agon is a stud at all his variety of tosses to pitchers covering 1st but in the game he has super human speed and just runs to the bag himself which he rarely does in real life. these would be fixed in a patch i would be even happier than i am.
now if i can only concoct a slider formula for MOM QC's! any body have any QC MOM sliders they would like to share would be greatly appreciated!

Double pat throws from the outfielders are infuriating and have cost me two throw outs at home, costing me two conquest games. This doesn't count throw outs at other bases.

Oh my God, THIS! I'm a 1B and sometimes I actually have to dive after the ball when it's only like 10 feet away. However, I'm starting to get a hang of when to turn around with the left stick but I can't even imagine what it's like for an OF.


Another gripe I have is the constant "pickoffs" when I'm batting and there's a player on first with two outs (this is in RTTS). I mean sure, Altuve is the baserunner but that does not warrant pickoffs that lasts for over FIVE minutes! One time I just gave up and simulated the at-bat. Struck out of course even though I was in a good hitter's count 2-0 because they pitched out TWICE.
