Bunting, what are your solution(s)/fixed?

[Gagnon39]

I've ALMOST reverted to turning into the other team once the bunt is down and making a, "realistic," play on the ball. It's almost the only way. I mean, if it's truly bunted HARD at the corner guy, okay, throw to second. But every fielder charges full speed, fields it on the run with his momentum toward home plate and wheel's a 180 strike all the way to second.

Yeah, this is frustrating. Two sacrifice situations with my pitcher, both times the fielder (both 3B and 1B)went for the out at second. Seem to recall cpu not doing this in years which at least was a band-aid fix.

it's an issue. I pretty much stopped doing sac bunts because the odds of a double play and/or out at 2nd are too damn high.

but oddly, I tend to do alright with drag bunts...

Yep. I tried this a few times, makes absolutely zero difference.

I've bunted successfully 3 out of 3 times (Not on back to back at bats) in different games. What I do is hold left trigger so that the runner on first gets a head start to second and the computer throws to first base for the out. Though you also want to press L1 to get a lead as well before holding the Left trigger to steal. The ball does come off the bat really fast though.

P.S They need to patch the homeruns. There are way too many homeruns and too few doubles

this is about your only hope.....if the 1st baseman isn't holding the runner on then get as big of a lead as possible and maybe they'll just take the sure out at 1st like they would realistically do irl

Sucks if the pitcher throws a ball, though, since you can't bunt those. Then your runner is hosed at 2B unless they have good steal ratings.
