I should have specified the human baserunning aggresiveness when using automatic baserunning Embarrassed.

Thanks for the tip - I always tapped L1 repeatedly instead of just holding it down. I'll have to give manual baserunning another shot.

That is correct...it does affect both CPU and Human.  And yes, that is correct..it is weird that it is only appears in the CPU tuning menu.  :)

Hey Chris, welcome to SGN.
 
Can I assume the same thing with the baserunning aggressiveness slider too?


Well, the baserunner aggressiveness slider does not affect how aggressive you are as a human controlled runner. :) It only affects the CPU stealing, and/or taking extra bases.  

I have read many comments about the baserunning controls etc. for this years game.  I generally use the L1 for advance all for most of my base-running. 
   
As soon as contact is made, I hold down L1.  For instance, if you have a runner on 2nd and you hit a ball to the gap, or down the line, I hold down L1.  This sends the batter thru 1st and the runner at second towards third. 

The trick is just letting go of the L1 button at the right time, the runner from 2nd will continue home and the batter will stop at 2nd.

I played my first game with 'Auto Baserunning' ON and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was a fairly low scoring game (3-2) so I didn't really see too much of the auto baserunning in action, but I didn't miss handling the manual baserunning like I thought I would. I'm not a fan of letting the CPU handle things automatically for me, but I may do that with MLB's baserunning this year.

Played 3 games...  Like what I see!  need to practice, though - haven't won yet, and I'm on "rookie!"  Using the Pirates, though, which may explain some things...

I haven't played a game of MLB 06 since Friday and I'm going through withdrawal. I know I like a game when I can't get it off my mind at work.

On HOF, at least, though, that doesn't happen much...
 
Thanks.

How do you guess the location of the center zone?
