    Is it possible to go the short way with 2 outs in this game?

    Whenever I have 2 outs and a man on first and throw it to second with the SS or 3B they take forever to get rid of the ball resulting in them being safe about 75% of the time.

    Am I doing something wrong? Or do I always have to throw to first with 2 out?

    Are you preloading your throw?

      You pre load by double tapping right?

        No, just press the button before the ball reaches your fielder (and the sooner the better, it helps to know where you're throwing well in advance). But I will say that even when preloading, the flip to 2nd animations can be very slow and cause a runner to be safe. Personally I just always throw to first. Sure you risk an overthrow, but I think you've got a better chance of making that play than the flip sometimes.

          Don't know if I'm helping but if I'm close enough to the bag, I just run over it but if I'm to far away I throw to first.

            I've had the same problem. The flip takes about five minutes to execute, allowing the runner to get to second safely.

            I've just learned to throw it to first.

              You can do it if you don't preload, but most of the time it's just slow (leading to a "catch your breath" barely out kinda moment, or worse, a safe runner). It's been an unfortunate trade-off that I hope SCEA is seriously working on for fielding. Great animations+ lack of control. Fielding is the only aspect of this game that really frustrates me.

                same here.
                I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                  Seems like everytime this play happens to me the next batter gets an RBI hit. And several times it's been the freaking pitcher!!

                      if u set your defense to double play depth then you can get the out at second. Otherwise it is a risky proposition.

                        with 2 outs, setting your defense in double play depth in my opinion is a risky proposition.
