We are getting that patch. I actually got it early through SCEA to give it a test run and it worked! I had back to back comeback wins against the Nationals in the 9th! And then in both games I was able to secure the win by shutting them down in the bottom of the 9th!

Awesome patch!

At the same time I have heard people talking about how the CPU will try to squeeze bunt a lot of times and I have never seen that once in all the years I have played this game since 08 lol. What do you have the pick off slider set at? I have already put in down to 4 may go even lower. I also hate that a lot of times if you take one step lead and the CPU throws over you get picked off even if the pitcher is right handed. You should never ever get picked off by a righty.

I play with everything at default, i never change sliders. Playing all star on both hitting and pitching default rosters.

Wish the Nationals could get a patch, since they have lost four games just like you described. But I guess that doesn't really happen in Baseball.

When you say lead off, are you taking an extra step? Because if so, then I would expect the pitcher to throw over because you're taking a bigger lead, which typically means something is up, either a steal attempt or hit and run.

If you press the steal button before the pitcher starts his windup, that is, imo, like leaning towards second base. Again, I would expect the cpu to throw over.

And should never get picked off by a righty? You need to watch more baseball.

Some times I take a extra step some times I don't but even if I take a extra step and change like are late or early I take the extra step I get a lot of throw overs. If you think a lot of righty's are picking off guys then I don't know what to tell you because righty's are almost never going to throw a guy out on a pick off. Like 95% of the time a guy is picked off it is going to be by a left hander. That is the big advantage that a left has lot harder to get a good lead and have to be a lot more alert to pick off moves.

I rarely take an extra step and I hardly see throw overs. Once in a while they will throw the ball over, but its on the low end. When I take an extra step, I get more throw overs, but again its not an over-abundance of throw overs.

LOL...you don't need to explain baseball to me, I'm vastly knowledgeable in the sport. I understand the advantages of a left handed pitcher vs a right handed pitcher when it comes to baserunning.

I never said a lot of righties are picking off runners. Your statement was that a runner should never ever get picked off by a righty. I suggested that you watch more baseball because there are times that a right handed pitcher with a good move to first will pick off a runner, especially if he takes a big lead, which you suggested is happening in your game. You take an extra step lead and you got picked by a right handed pitcher and you said that should never happen.

Wish that was true 2 days ago. Freaking Gardner...

I don't know about you guys, but I let the catcher call the game. Unless I really disagree with the pitch selection, I let him call 95% of the game. I've been atrocious at hitting in this years version, but, I've been pitching pretty damn well. Hopefully my hitting picks up.

The show is awesome once again and I'm sure with a patch or two, it will go up and beyond what it has achieved already, greatness.
