Has it ever been mentioned if the base running has gotten better. The last couple of years scoring from second has been almost impossible. Runners would slow to a crawl rounding third and get thrown out trying to score from second. I use auto base running and that makes it impossible to score from second. So technically you weren't in scoring position unless you were on third.

As far as I know, last year base running was good. I scored from second plenty of times and went 1st to 3rd. Mlb 13 had some problems with rounding 3rd though.
One cool thing they added this year is that on fast ground balls the batter will ******ly run to first bc he knows he'll be out (as most guys do in real life). This helps us see a bunch more fielding and throwing animations on ground balls. Pretty xool

And if we choose not to challenge a play and the call was wrong, we as the user are stuck with the wrong call, but the CPU never is? This doesn't seem fair at all. And, in year's past, the developers always said the game cannot differentiate between which team is the user and which team is the CPU. This doesn't seem true this year based on this challenge logic?

You're making the assumption the wrong call is not in your favor. I'm sure it works both ways for the user.

Do we know if they fixed that issue where high pitches are 2-4 mph faster than low ones?

I'm certain I'm missing something but what's the issue?

That is the issue. It shouldn't happen. It wouldn't be any different from the ball catching on fire as it arrives to the plate. It has no basis in reality, or science. A high pitch travels at exactly the same speed as a low one. If you really want to be technical, the lower pitch should be faster (for overhand or 3/4's deliveries) because you have a later release and thus a higher exit velocity .

I'll find more sources in a few, but there's also a mathematical basis to it. You can imagine a triangle, where the base is perpendicular to home plate, and the opposite corner is the pitcher. The trajectory of a high fastball would be the adjacent side, while the low fastball, the hypotenuse.

The high fastball seems like it's faster, in actuality, only because a high pitch has a shorter trajectory to home plate. The lower pitch, the hypotenuse, has a longer path to travel, thus giving the batter more time to react. Both pitches travel at the same speed, though.

I'm asking because I don't know what you mean and again I could be missing something.

Are you saying that the high end range of a fastball shouldn't be 2-4 mph faster than the low end range of a pitchers fastball? I can't say I agree with that.
