this drives me nuts!!!!

i hate when the cpu bunts the ball up the line and the third baseman has an easy play on it, but the game makes me play it as the pitcher and they are safe 98% of the time. The one thing about fielding in this game I cannot stand.

I feel your pain!

What drives me nuts... like mentioned in other threads... are all the dive catches the CPU makes. Honestly, in 3 years of playing MLB 10, 11 & 12 off and on I have only made one dive catch in MLB12... with the catcher. All the while the CPU outfielders make at least one spectacular dive catch once every few games it seems like. It totally kills your rally when that happens. LOL.

That would drive me crazy for sure... BUT... I turn down the baserunner speed slider way down, so I don't fear bunts anymore and it is a lot easier for me to complete double plays. On the other hand my baserunners are slow too, which makes it hard for me to steal... but I still rather have everybody kinda slow than everybody normal fast.

The cpu diving was driving up the f'n wall the first month but i guess after all the updates and proper sliders, it has toned down a lot.

One thing that pisses me off is when the throw misses its target amd the cpu has proper back ups most of the time but when i make a bad throw, my backups are in lala lad while the cpu runner gets two bases when it should be one.

This is most annoying when its a bunt or 2 ft dribbler and the p, c, 3b makes a bad throw and the rfer is nowhere to be seen.

I capital LOVE this game & have ONLY thing that drives me nuts...

I have a runner on 2B, the SS or 2B man starts sneaking in behind me, I immediately tap the "get back!" button but my runner won't retreat until the screen changes (which is too late) & I get picked off!

Minus that, ALL good here ;-)

Fielding became too annoying to the point where i turned on auto fielding. Without it the CPU will make crazy plays that you won't be able to do. Auto makes it even. I have auto base running now as well. I focus on hitting, pitching and throwing and the game is more fun for me that way.

Same for me. I always use auto fielding and running. The only thing that I hate with auto running is the tagging up on short fly balls, and you just know your man is gonna be thrown out at the plate or at third.

I hate this, I also hate the fact that I cannot get a bunt down to save my life even if the 3rd baseman is playing back. The pitcher or catcher is always able to get to the ball and throw me out.

I agree with the diving catches, the CPU dives perfectly yet when I try to dive for a fly ball or even a ground ball up the middle, it is like my players just fall down rather than "dive" for the ball. My other issue is with the CPU throws; you hit the ball to the wall and head to second yet the outfielder gets the ball and immediately turns and fires the ball to the base right on line, no setting their feet or anything, just turns and throws a dart to get my runner out.
