RTTS teammates can't hit when I'm on base

[jergiants]

Why is it that my RTTS teammates hardly swing when I'm on base? I get to second base after a steal or a double and the next three batters look at almost every pitch and hardly even swing. They strikeout probably 50% of the time. Yet they have no problem hitting home runs when the game sims. I think I have more stolen bases than runs scored...

That happened to me as well. Totally frustrating. I started simming to my next AB once I reached base because standing there while the CPU repeatedly struck out was an agonizing waste of time

Glad I'm not the only one. It's really annoying!!!

PATIENCE is a virtue.

But I understand you guys. The only way I stay in and dont go the next appearance is for the SB. At times my teammates could bring me home though.

Totally agree with the original poster....I would actually chose not to sim running the bases if I got a little action every once in a while. Thank God you can sim to your next at bat, or I would be a pitcher in RTTS. Lol

what i usually do is steal second and (attempt) third, if i make it i sim after that, get the points AND dont always have to sit through K's

This is exactly what I do. Steal 2nd and get points for the steal and scoring position. If there are no outs I will see what will happen with the first 2 batters, if there is 2 outs I sim to my next appearance.

It is amazing how many leadoff doubles or triples I hit and get left on base. Either they will strike out twice and then fly out for the 3rd out or they will foul pop to catcher/1st/3rd and I cant advance. It used to drive me insane but now I expect it so its a pleasant surprise if I am able to make it home.

I wouldn't even attempt base running with a slow player. Lots of standing around. I've got my guy up to 60 in speed to make that aspect of RTTS interesting.
