Why are my players running away from the ball??

It happens at least 2-3 times a game. Just now Jose Reyes was running toward a ground ball then out of nowhere he stops and runs the opposite direction causing a base hit.

Perhaps you are pressing the stick in the wrong direction? The fielder starts in the right direction probably because of the fielding assist, but once your input kicks in he starts moving in the wrong direction? Just a thought.

This happens to me on fly balls multiple times in a game. Sometimes I make the catch, others not.. very frustrating regardless.

Someone should report this as a bug because it happens to me as well. I've played this game for yrs so it's not me. It has cost me runs and it cost me a base hit taking a no hitter into the 8th.

I've had this happen a lot recently. Mostly with the outfielders.

problem is the at least for me the outfielders first move is always back on balls hit to the gaps. So instead of the RF starting back and towards CF. Its just straight back towards right. It leads to not being able to control the fields right away and then takes longer for him to get going the direction he really needs to.

Yep I've had that same problem. You can point the stick in the right direction, but it's like a force field prevents your player from going that direction. I haven't seen it for a few games but it definitely happens on occasion.

It has happened to me multiple times also. The worst occurred when my third baseman ran away from a slow roller when he would have made the play. Instead my shortstop fired late and they gave him a hit. I pitched a one hitter that game with no walks, so basically it screwed me out of a perfect game.
