The art of bunting

This is what works for me. I wait till the ball is about 1/4 to the plate and simply tap the bunt button your bat will go out and start to return as it returns it gently meets the ball. Realistic drag bunt if done right. The sacrifice bunt needs to have a slider adjustment.
You need to experiment and then practice

I go to QUICK MANAGE in bunt situations. Cuts down on the frustration.

Bunting needs to be fixed, plain and simple.

Re: The art of bunting

when they say bunting is a lost art, I didn't realise that meant even video game developers couldn't do it properly

This is all because of DD. There was so much bunt cheese they couldn't find a better way to combat it, so they made bunts rockets.

Would love to see a bunt power slider. One that is adjustable in franchise mode but greyed out and/or maxed when playing DD or any other online competitive mode.

Re: The art of bunting

We're long past the point where sports games need to have noticeably different gameplay styles for online and offline.

Solid idea, I hadn't thought of that.
