Does any use the third base coach for knowing when to run or hold up?
I've found a few issues with this. Its nice that you can hit L1 to see the coach as you run. But two issues:
1. If there is a runner in front of you, the 3rd base coach is waving him around you don't readily know if the coach is waving you or the lead runner (like if the coach wants the lead runner to round and go for home, and you are trying to figure out if you should round 2nd and go to third). Maybe this is just like in real life and not a problem with the game, in which case I guess we are on our own to decide?
2. Sometimes the third base coach signals are too late. I hit a deep double with an 89 speed-rated player. I was trying to decide if I could stretch it to a triple as I was approaching 2nd. I hit L1 as I neared 2nd and the coach was not giving a signal either way. So I rounded 2nd and about 5 feet from the bag he then signals to hold up. I immediately pressed the stick to reverse directions but by then the throw came to 2nd and I was tagged out.
Its ok if we have to decide for ourselves, but its annoying when we expect to get a signal from the 3rd base coach on whether to keep going or not and instead he's either signaling the guy in front of you or giving you the information too late.
What have you guys experienced and what do you think about the situation? Thanks!
