Baserunning AI?

[Bobhead]

I just had two consecutive plays where a ball was hit to the outfield, and then thrown in... the third baseman had the ball before the CPU baserunner got to third base, but the runner for some reason kept running for a ridiculously easy out at home. Twice in a row that happened...

Overall I'm seeing a lot of boneheaded baserunning, but those plays in particular were entirely absurd.

Is anyone seeing wacky baserunning?

Yup. I had 1st and 3rd with 2 outs. I hit a screamer to right centre. The runner at 1st literally stops to see if the ball is caught. There's 2 outs. So he obviously didn't score after the ball wasn't caught. I've seen that scenario a few times actually....

I've seen it happen a bunch of times where the AI ignores all logic and runs home instead of stopping at 3rd while the catcher just waits for him with the ball... it's strange.

Just started noticing this exact issue since the latest patch.. Really sucks cause the game was fine for me before it

Cpu base running is now very much broken

Autobaserunning is still very much broken as well.

If there isn't a sufficent patch issued for this, as many months as this has been, some sort of refund needs to be in order.

Yup.

My players and the AI players both making incredibly stupid, over aggressive baserunning errors. On my end I have to try to manually hold them up at times to save myself from easy outs.

It's honestly ridiculous at this point. Core gameplay functions not working darn near 2 months after launch.

I haven't seen anything quite as bad as what's been described, but had a play where the runner at third probably should have held up (one hopper to Ichiro - he was about to round third right when Ichiro gloved it).

It's funny because Ichiro was on second and the #2 hitter sliced a single to left field. Ichiro rounded 3rd and held up (wisely). I only use autobaserunning.

Not sure how/when/why it goes funky.
