Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

[fatheifer]

Auto defensive positioning does not work correctly. It switches positioning and then keeps it for the rest of the batters unless you manually catch it. Awful bug.

Your team....?
I just played the Red Sox and after David Ortiz.....they were right back to straight up without me prompting them.

Re: Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

It's got nothing to do with the team you are using, believe me. It does work correctly on occasion, but usually it does not.

Re: Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

Like i mentioned in my other posts, i am no expert or have a great understanding of how or when fields are shifted/set but i have noticed when it doesn't seem right, if a field should be set for a Dp with no one on base then so be it i have no idea if that is a legit tactic teams use.
I just put it out there so the more knowledgeable of you's could keep a lookout for it. If it's working fine then great.

yes, this isn't a 100% of the time bug.

Re: Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

As a Padres player I play against the Dodgers a lot and we always shift for AGon and it has worked every time for him which is like 36-37 times in a row. Also has worked about 30 other times combined in a row for someone on the Marlins and Nationals.

Yeah no problem with the shift its switching back to normal that doesn't always happen for me. it happens more on infield field changes that i notice,maybe because i can't see the outfield while pitching.

Re: Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

The only thing I don't like about the auto shift, is the guys it does it against seem to always go the opposite way. I lost count of the times Prince Fielder hit the ball to left in my recent series' with Texas, even when I bust him inside all game.
I don't like messing with it, because whenever I make adjustments, it seems to cause a bug where my guys will sit in that defense the rest of the game. Even with runners on, so my first baseman never again holds a runner.

Re: Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

It will shift the outfield to shallow when the pitcher comes up and then the rest of the game my outfield will be shallow if I don't check it. That's just one example. Another is it will keep double play set up on when the situation doesn't call for it.

Re: Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

Made a bug report about this right after release (PS3 version), haven't really seen it pop up since I got the PS4 version. In my case I was playing the Angels and the CPU shifted for Ibanez and did not shift back despite the next couple of batters being right handed. I think it had something to do with the default option being set to "always" instead of "one pitch" so the shifts were unintentionally sticking.

Re: Auto Defensive Positioning Bug

Maybe that's why?
It's a PS3 bug?

This is the PS4 section.
