The same. I used auto fielding and running years ago but abandoned it because I felt like I didn’t have enough control. I did do auto fielding though.

Last year, my son told me that you can override the auto throwing and running. (Last time I tried, probably 2015 or earlier, you could not). So I’ve went back to it and it has been wonderful. Can’t imagine going back either.

I really like letting the players ability and not my ability tell the outcome.

Yep. Auto field, auto throw and auto run. Although my third base coach has been making some questionable send decisions that have me giving him the side eye. But that's Willie Harris of the Cubs in real life so I guess if it's in the game, it's in the game counts here too.

Me too.. I already use classic pitching and button hitting, so manual fielding, throwing and running helps to keep me involved in the game. Plus, the CPU makes some odd running choices at times when I used to have it on auto.

Trust me….you don’t want to see me auto field, lol. I do use manual throw tho.

Solid gameplay.

I actually started a game and the gameplay setting, for whatever reason, was on DYNAMIC/DYNAMIC so I decided to roll with that to see what it was all about. Man, it’s a little gem. If you’re struggling finding a comfort zone perhaps try it out. Six games into my franchise and quite happy with it.

Nico Hoerner hit one over the wall and Evan Carter brought it back. Hoerner stops in between 2nd and 1st with hands on his head just shaking is head back and forth. Great reaction to a robbery of the most difficult degree.

I'm still not seeing it at all.

What does the progress bar say for Dynamic, if you don't mind me asking? I'd imagine it probably isn't on beginner if you're seeing such good games, so I'm guessing you picked a specific level for it the first time you started up the game.

To get the bar I'm talking about to display (if it's not already on) It's in settings > gameplay > display > Dynamic Difficulty updates. There's a few options for how often it displays there.

One suggestion I'll make is that if you really like where the gameplay is and don't want it to change at all from where it is, lower the "Dynamic Difficulty Sensitivity" slider to 0. This will lock whatever level you're currently playing in place (even the in-between "+" levels that are not normally selectable). Otherwise it will adjust that progress bar (and eventually the difficulty level if it goes to either extreme) based on how many total bases you're getting at the plate and giving up on the mound.

Glad it's playing so well for you. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one
