Seen this in 3 out of the 4 past games that have been close in late innings and they tried doing 4 suicide squeezes with the bases loaded or with a guy on 3rd even with good hitters at the plate..sometimes with no outs....anyone else seeing this? It's such a rare thing irl it is kinda bizarre to see it happening so much.

It isn't as bad as in the past, I have seen CPU resort to suicide squeezes in one-run or tied games in late innings... probably because bunting success has been turned down, they don't happen as often as it used to.

It's one other area where smarter CPU manager is desired. This kinda think should be something that characterizes different managers... some manager value small balls, others don't.

The devs have a (bad) habit of over doing some aspects of the game. Last year it was bunt singles. It was so bad at one point that I stopped playing for a month. At least 2-3 times a game, slower players on the other team were bunting for a hit.

Also, between MLB 16-17. I've never seen so many dropped 3 strikes on my life.

This particular issue drove me nuts last year. Disappointing to hear that it is still happening for 17.

ya the frustrating thing about it, is the delayed animations still. even if you play it correctly defensively there is still the delayed reaction to get the ball to home plate to stop the squeeze.

I had Stanton up against me with bases loaded no one out in 9th tie game and did suicide squeeze. I was like nah...never going to happen.

I only saw it for the first time EVER last night in '17. It made sense though, it was an off speed count and a bad hitter at the plate. Bunt went foul and they didn't try again.

I only had 16 for a few months but never saw it.

This has been an ongoing problem for YEARS. I remember complaining about it in MLB 12. Not sure who needs to see it, but hopefully the right person will at some point.
