ohhh ok...I don't think I am alone in not knowing that was what you meant.

I have never tried that so I have never witnessed it but that is a problem.

My beef is that the CPU doesn't take the appropriate action after the pitch, it's wildly inconsistent.

Thats correct. The runner on 3rd does not ahve to advance. There is no one "pushing him". The guy going from 1st to second can not be tagged out, but the runner from 3rd to home can be.

If the bases were loaded, then the outcome doesnt amtter as the runner is "pushed home" by the walk.

No sweat, my initial post was very vague indeed. My apologies.

Yup, but try this next time - the catcher won't even attempt to tag the runner, he just throws the ball back to the pitcher and the "walk" cut scene begins.

# 786 Speedy @ 04/30/09 04:00 PM

So what happens during the cutscene? Does the runner score?

Ok, i gotcha. I havent tried that (nor will I, seems a bit cheap), but your beef is with the fact that you can start the runner at third and score on that play when in real life, the catcher would stand up, walk about 10 inches and tag the runner out before he crosses home.

# 788 Gagnon39 @ 04/30/09 04:04 PM

Interesting. Does this happen every time?

Right when I posted that the OP stated what happened next...But I'd like to know if a walk ensues if the runner on 3rd scores then.

yes - and Matt Vasgersian gets all hot and bothered about how amazing it was to steal home.

Yes.

# 793 Gagnon39 @ 04/30/09 04:08 PM

The problem would be from 2nd to 3rd. Does the same thing happen?

Every time I've been in that position, yes. It was in the 08' version as well. The solution to avoid the "cheese" is obviously to hold the runners, but as I mentioned - it's easier from a controller stand point - especially if you have another runner on besides third, is just to give the "steal all" command on the pitch.

Yeah, it's stupid, but the game wasn't intended to be played like that. Both Madden and The Show have plenty of legitimate problems, but expecting the developers to code for every style of unorthodox/unrealistic play is a bit much to ask. This is a sim, remember.

I'm playing the game wrong?

I'm playing the game wrong even though I said I have never seen this nor tried it???

This is something that i don't think anyone would expect in the game. And corey was just pointing it out, not necessarily playing the game wrong.

I don't play online, nor do I play against others, but I would imagine that if this holds true to online play, it could present a pretty big problem.

I do agree with you it is not playing right, I would never do it, but it is a simple enough problem that as long as they know about it is probably easy to fix. This is the first I have heard about it.

So you're saying you have men on 1st & 3rd w/2 out...you send both runners and the batter happens to walk. Instead of tagging the runner on 3rd who's "stealing" home he simply throws it back to the pitcher and the run scores?

Does it cut to an animation and you can't actually see the run score?

If there is no runner behind the man on 2nd, yes - I believe so. I don't recall being in this position however.

Yes. Or, it will cut to the high overhead (announcer booth angle) as though it would when there would be a play to the plate, and the catcher just throws the ball back to the pitcher.

I think he is just saying that it is unrealistic for a runner at 3rd base to be on the move with no runner at 2nd. Unless, of course it is a squeeze play.
