AI w/ Corners In

AC · 04-06-2002, 10:08 AM

Not sure if this has been addressed before but the AI with the infield set to 'corners in' needs to be tweaked.

Here's what always happens to me: There will be runners on first and third with less than two outs and I bring my corners in. There will be a groundball to either my first or third baseman and they always try to turn the double play, thus allowing the guy from third to score.

What should happen is a) the first or third baseman throws home to get the guy out at home, or b) he checks to make sure the man at third is not going home beofore trying to turn two or just throwing it to first.

To do what you want to do, select infield in.

Corners In for the OOTP sense is more to defend against bunts.

I see. That really should be looked into, though. In baseball, having the corners in is not just to protect against bunts.

I'll generally use corners in with 1 out and a force situation to try to get an inning ending DP on a bunt, and Infield in in non-force situations or with 2 outs and an important run on third.

Why with 2 outs? Wouldn't you want to stay back and go for the easiest out?

The way I see it, Corners In is primarily for bunting situations, and DP's. Infield In is the play option to guard against the runner on 3rd scoring on a ground out.

Yes...That should have been "no" outs, not "2" outs. Oops

This seems to be the case in the game. In real life baseball, however, corners in is also used to guard against a runner coming home if the ball is hit to one of the corners. It it's hit up the middle, then a double play is attempted.
