Any chance for a defensive action button

I know this isn't a new issue, and I'm sure there is recency bias on my end, but could we get an action button similar to the send runner action button to allow for some decisions on balls put in play with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Frustrating in an 8-5 game, 1 out runners on 2nd and 3rd and infield normal to have infielder throw the ball home. Frustrating on next play with 1st and 3rd one out in an 8-6 game to do it again.

If no button, then can the logic/frequency of throwing home when the infield is at normal depth be looked at.

I agree!!!!
Let's keep bringing this up and/plus more options for 3D play. IMO 3D games are the fun part of a long season. I do not play all 162, but I pick the best ones, playoffs too, but I want more control when I play in manual mode. I do not see a downside to this manual control over the game play, more is better!!!!
