Actually this is a great example of something that is literally unable to be used so I'm glad you are the one that brought it up.

You're saying buying a car without a working AM radio is undriveable with this issue. Two VERY different severity's.

You're right. If I took the car back to the dealer they would fix it or give me a car with working wheels right away. Consumers like you are why the gaming industry is so corrupt. You accept their faulty product every year without complaint.

So every year you get a faulty product. Just like Madden I will stop buying this game. I want what I paid for. I shouldn't have to wait until online and battle royale nonsense, of which I have no interest, is fixed before I can get a working game.

Theres times when playing manual baserunning ive seen players not run and just stand there with there leadoff. Its only happened when using analog hitting!

I play about half my games online, where you can not use auto base running. During my franchise games I use auto running, mainly for something different. There are maybe two times a game I completely disagree with the AI and over ride, then there will be another 2-3 times I wonder why they didn't try to stretch a play and maybe the runner wouldn't have made it, maybe he would have. I have not seen the AI send runners into WTF scenarios's, however sitting here watching MLB network high lights I have seen several WTF base running moves. Maybe your game is actually coded better than mine...

It's confusing for me especially when I want to control one baserunner and not the other. I get the just of it, but I just don't want to do it. I don't feel smart enough to make the right decisions on it and feel I would run into outs and not get guys extra bases they should. Most importantly, and this is selfish, I just don't want too. I want to pitch and hit and let the computer do the rest, it's how I like the game. Being able to queue a steal is something I used to do occasionally though and would like to be able too again but I would give that ability up if it meant auto baserunning worked elsewhere (since it seems this year it turns off auto BR for some reason)

This is nuts because there is a major difference between programming a video game and manufacturing a car.

It doesn't make game makers corrupt because there are issues. It makes them human. There will NEVER be the perfect sports game. It's impossible. When programming something, there are going to always be flawed and they patch the ones they can. Some can't be patched because it's part of the main code. So those flaws never get fixed because they can't fix them, literally. No matter how many tests get ran, there will be things that slip through the cracks. It's just the way it is.

Making video games is not an exact science. So you have to table the bad and decide if the good outweighs it. Otherwise, you'll miss out on some really good games.

just today, after installing 1.03. I have a runner on first. The ball is driven to right center for a hit. The guy on first dives back to the base. I press advance to override and send him to second. By the time he gets up and starts running the ball is already at second Out! that's a broken game to me.

If I seen that happen multiple times, I would probably think it's broken too. I've just never seen that ever happen before.
