More baserunning control?

What am I doing that's causing all my runners to take SO long to just hop back to the base they were on? Is this just the way the game is? If I overrun the animation is REALLY slow to get them back to the base.

This is bug in the game. Usually happens when you hit a single. Press your "return runner to base" button as soon as you make it to first. Once you get comfortable with all the runner function buttons you can make some sick moves simultaneously.

Schordese is right .... one of the basic things to do first is when you hit a single, practice pressing up on the D pad like you're going to go to 2nd (because, hey, you never know), then pull back to 1st right after he rounds the bag.

Ok. i'll try that. I always push to 2nd, in any baseball game, off of an outfield hit on the off chance of an error but this is even happening to me when I have someone on base and then round second or third off a base hit. The break to turn around and get back is way too slow. Just figured somebody had maybe invented some patch for this. My only thought has been to play with OF throwing strength but that would mess up other parts of the game. Baserunning aggression lowered might stop players from rounding the bag so far. That used to work in some baseball game, don't remember which one. Anyone tried that here? Might give that a go.

The baserunning aggression doesn't affect that.  You have to take control.  There's no fix.....it's a scripted move.

Ok, I've been taking more control and it's helping. Hey, whaddaya know, you actually have to PLAY baseball in this game.
