No, it's been working perfectly for me. The only reason for a guy to stop is if you hit a fly ball. But I've executed more hit and runs in 2K13 than I have in the past.
One think that might help is using the LS to direct your hit away in order to drive it through the hole the SS or 2B leave when they break for second on the steal. That's how the play is supposed to work.
so if the ball is outside, you get the nice power bonus for going with the pitch, which should result in a nice hit, maybe for extra bases. If it is not outside, then you take a hit on the power, but that might turn a flyball into a grounder that still sneaks through the hole the infielder has left.
