Not sure how I feel about that last one; kind of takes some of the skill out of baserunning if L1/R1 helps score runs

I really hope this year they have finally fixed the player rounding bases changing their button in classic baserunning.

I like it, it was unnecessary difficult.
Same like they did a few years back when you had a runner tagging on 3rd on a flyball and the runner from first was halfway between 1st and 2nd. First you had to retreat the runner to 1st and send the runner on 3rd and after the change you only had to press R1 after the ball was caught to send the runner from 3rd and the runner between 1st and 2nd wpuld retreat by itself.

I like the baserunning improvement. Before, I just had to keep the batter heading to second for a sure out to insure that the other runner scored.

Hopefully they will also fix the situation where baserunners fail to run, or worse run backwards, on base hits or balls hit with two outs.

Where do we see a player's hit tendencies on his card in game?

And, it sounds like high discipline still helps with checked swings so we should feel a difference between low and high disciplined cards.

I assume they are referring to hot zones and it will tell you pull, push, balanced, or extreme push or pull.

I like it too, another problem situation is when you have a hit and run or a steal on, and the batter makes contact. Sometimes the runner heading for 2nd stops or starts heading back to first.

Do pitchers still have a slow arm speed but throw 100mph fbs?

Will they fix the bug where off speed pitches velocity decreases over time? People complain about 2k copy and pasting their game but so much of the shows gameplay is left untouched
