Franchise problem: Suicide Squeeze

[rjviking11]

This has been a problem in the past few games and continues to be problem with this year's game. It seems like every time the opposing team has the winning or tying run at 3rd base with 1 or less outs, the suicide squeeze is attempted. a suicide squeeze maybe happens once a year in the MLB and it's already happened in my franchise about 3 times in just the first month. The most recent time was with Brandon belt of all people with runners on second and third. It's really annoying. Will there be or is there already a fix to this?

I do notice this in my CPU vs CPU games quite frequently as well. At least bunting is not as successful as it was in MLB 15, but I do hope CPU manager gets much smarter pretty soon... (in a sense that he uses a strategy like suicide squeeze more judiciously and also the opposing CPU manager gets more alert so that a surprise strategy like this doesn't work as frequently.)

David Wright dropped one on me in the 13th inning in the last game I played. That was the first time I've seen it but I haven't had a chance to play a whole bunch of games.

I haven't had a chance to play much yet this year, but this has been an issue for years. I played so much of last year's game I was getting really good at predicting when the cpu would do it. If nothing has been done in this department, I really hope it can be toned down to where it is an extremely rare tactic in the future.

I'm mildly surprised there's not a universal bunt slider.
LA tried a suicide squeeze earlier tonight against me but I through a curve in the dirt & the runner was hung out to dry.
Luckily I didn't get a passed ball or wild pitch. I sure wasn't meaning to throw one into the ground.

I don't mind the cpu doing it, I just wish I could remember to pitch out.

yep. CPU attempts the squeeze on me every time down by one from the seventh inning on.....it sucks. it's my only beef with this game. i would have more gripes, but i didn't download the last past

What gets me the most is that it works even with terrible bunters up. I mean guys with 10 bunt ratings shouldn't be laying down perfect bunts...or even making contact consistently.
