HELP !!! This 1st to 3rd over aggressive baserunning is killing me !!!!!!!

[DodgerFanatic2K3]

I'm getting so frustrated with almost every base runner always attempting to go 1st to 3rd on a single !!!!!!!

98% of the time there easily thrown out

I actually had a base runner on 1st "ATTEMPT" to go to 3rd on a run & hit hard single to LEFT FIELD......LEFT FIELD

I was in complete shock from the stupidity of that base runner

The amount of assists that I have in my season is unrealistic

Is there ANY slider or individual player attribute edit that will stop base runners from always attempting to go 1st to 3rd and running you out of innings using AUTO base running ??

I don't want to stop using auto base running because I like the random steal attempts that are made but I'm getting really aggravated

do you have this set on Classic baserunning?

I can't say I've had this issue.

I think that it is based on ratings when you use auto baserunning. I use classic baserunning and don't use auto and I havent had this issue. Now the CPU is a different story. They seem to like to take chance and are sometimes overly aggressive. I think to avoid that for yourself you might need to adjust some ratings or just get off of auto.

You'll need to lower the Baserunning Aggressiveness attribute for each player that is guilty of doing it...

I've been slowly inching the ratings down for guys that do that. I had one guy that I called up and his rating was nearly at the top. This guy would just keep running until he was out...

I'm sure there was a global slider for it last year, but this year it's an individual attribute.

I use auto base running because I like that the runners will attempt to steal on their own

If ASSISTED just allowed auto steal attempts I would use that

I'm just going to lower every players base running aggressiveness attribute and see if that helps

Any suggestion on what I should lower it too and does anyone know if this will effect steal attempts ??

Yea - Prince Fielder seems to think he is a speed demon - stealing on his own and constantly getting thrown out at 3rd

I've had this problem some but it hasn't gotten to the point where I feel it's unrealistic. There will be times when guys try to take the extra base and other times when they don't. If it happened every time I would be more annoyed with it.

I use auto baserunning because I simply can't do it manually, it's just to hard for me. So I have to stick with auto. It also allows me to concentrate more on my hitting.

The only time I have had a guy try to go from 1st to 3rd on a single to LF was on a hit and run and he got in there safely. Usually they'll stop at 2nd in those situations where they are more aggressive on singles to CF and RF.

I don't think I want to touch the baserunners attributes just yet, especially if that affects their SB attempts.

what kind of problems are you guys having with manual baserunning controls? truth is at first i didnt really understand it, but then i forced myself to figure it out. if you have a second controller, start a 2p game and just get hits and dont control the fielders on the other controller, this will give you time to figure out the running controls, so you feel less pressure when you are in a real game.
