Throwing runners out at 1st from outfield

[Bgreene01]

Hey everyone,

In past versions of The Show it was far too easy to throw runners out at first base from right field on what should have been a single.

I know it can be done this year, but are people seeing it be possible at the wildly high rate of the past? And, has anyone ever seen the CPU try to do it?

Thanks for any input.

ive seen times where i COULD have thrown out someone @ 1st or been thrown out myself, but the AI 1st basemen seem to want to stand 10 feet from the bag anytime the ball is hit past the infield

I have only done it once because my 1B wants no part of it

My problem seems to be a liner to CF (where you're not sure if it'll be a hit or one of the computers miraculous catches). The guy on 2nd takes his small lead and get dusted by the CF for a DP. This happened to me four times already.

This was done by design. Throwing runners out at 1B from RF was an exploit in MLB 12 and was fixed in 13.

I threw some pitcher out from RF to 1B the other day. But anyone else I get the pull off animation or 1B is off bag. Glad it's not like 12 tho. Billy Butler got smoked from RF tho.

I think it should be something some how you can pre select..its so out of the ordinary that its pointless to add in but the throw by Bautista to EE to get butler was a set play that the must have discussed cause EE was waiting and it wasnt even close. Now the next night when Bautista did it to Infante was Infante not recognizing the hit he just got and reacting late...but 2 9 to 3 put outs in back to back games..ouch KC

I've done it twice, most recent was this morning when I threw Votto out at 1st with Nelson Cruz (Picked him up on the FA list with the Cubs)
