Defensive Question

TJ · 04-10-2002, 04:41 AM

I have a question that I'm sure if it has been covered on the board or not. I had a situation in a game where in the bottom of the 9th in a tied game and the bases loaded with one out. I decided to bring in the outfield....incase of a fly ball. But that was the only defensive movement I was allowed to make. The batter proceeded to hit a groundball to short and the shortstop threw to first for only one out and the game was over. Has the defense been fixed in the latest patch to allow you to do more than one defensive move per pitch? Or should it be fixed that when the outfield is brought in the infield is also brought in?

To my knowledge this hasn't been changed..

I'm of the opinion that if the outfield is brought in, the infield should come in automatically (for OOTP) but I've been shouted down about this in the past. I just feel the only time I'd bring the outfield in is if the winning run is on third and I need everyone to take a shot at the plate to stop the runner... which would mean infield and outfield in... but others disagreed with me in the past.
