Baserunners diving back or freezing on hits?

[citybythebay85]

This was a problem last year too, and I'm not sure if it's just DD. I have baserunning on assist. But some hits that will easily be base hits or into the gap, the baserunner on 1st will freeze or even dive back to 1st like it's a line drive that will be caught. I've had runners thrown out at 2nd on base hits because of this. Still annoying that this is still happening this year. I shouldn't have to manually advance runners every time on base hits, much less have runners be thrown out at 2nd because of it.

you should really get video of this happening then post as a bug and see if this actually is a bug.

I have auto baserunning on and it is the same thing. It is pretty constant and worse than last year. Happening on hits that have no chance of being caught. Runners slowing at second and can't make it to third even though they should make it easily. I have noticed that less people are going overall where last year the computer ran in to outs all the time. Now it seems to have swung too far the other way. Need a middle ground.

Pretty sure they did this last year to stop some of the baserunning cheese, but it can be pretty awful, especially when youre playing offline.

Having guys on second and lining base hits up the middle just to have your guy dive back into second for no reason and costing you a run is pretty damn annoying.

How do you turn auto baserunning off? I hate when my guys just decide to steal on their own

You can only do it from the settings in the main menu.

Why do I need a video of it to prove it's a bug? Either they programmed the runners to be complete idiots, or it's a bug. Pretty simple. I've posted videos on here in the past of idiotic things the CPU does and there's always someone that says I'm doing something wrong, when I've been playing this game for years.

Exactly. But I play offline about 99% of the time. What exactly does having the baserunners act like idiots accomplish?
