Just curious as thankfully I haven't experienced this bug/glitch/issue yet.

I see it probably every 5 games or so. But I'll get a ground ball to my first baseman, I'll press o to run and step on the bag, but my fielder will just stay locked in this jogging animation and run in a straight line past the bag until the play is over. I got lucky once and the base runner conveniently ran into me as I ran across the foul line and got the tag out. They field the ball fine, it's just the transition into tagging the base where the issue occurs.

I'm wondering if it's just a problem with auto fielding instead of manual? But then I use manual throwing, so I don't know.

This is the one that cost me my perfect game. It doesn’t happen often but it does still happen (at least pre 1.09, no idea if it got fixed with this patch).

And when it locks in, there’s nothing you can do.

Damn that stinks.

Yeah I use manual fielding so maybe it is an auto field only issue??? Or maybe I've just been lucky thus far.

that just happened to me like 30min ago with new patch. And I'm on manual fielding.

Didn't know it was a bug, thought it was my error !!

Well there goes the auto fielding theory...LOL

Hopefully I'll continue to be exempt from it.

LOL.... but if the bug existed before patch, I have to say I never saw that in +50 franchise games and many Play now. That's why I didn't pay attention.

Yeah I'm over 70 games in and I haven't seen it.

I'll probably see it every game now...LOL

Oddly at default settings I had a lot of bloop singles to the outfield where the outfielder would get the ball in so fast (or runner logic was so bad) that they'd get the force out for the player running to second.
