Also realize that if you decide to Advance All, you need to be aware of faster runners.
Example:
You have a 35 speed guy at first and you hit a gapper with a 92 speed guy. Sometimes when yo try to advance that 35 speed to the plate, if you use the L1 button your faster runner may be rounding a base prior to your 35 speed, thereby getting both guys in no man’s land...
In the instance, you are better served to push the Lstick towards the runner coming from second base (Lstick Up) and press the X button(home) to send him.
When you become more advanced and comfortable, you can tell a faster runner right out of the box on a gap hit that you want him going for a triple. So in Fenway, a ball hit to the triangle with a 95 speed runner has. A great chance to be a triple, so as he is rounding first, Lstick to right (first base was the last base he touched) and hit the square button to tell him to go for three.
Your mistake in your example was pressing the Lstick towards a runner, and using the L1/R1 buttons. Those Advance All buttons override any Lstick input and you’ll have everyone who has run past the base the occupy, now advancing... East to run into double/triple plays when this happens.
Hope this helps.
