Issues with Analog fielding?

[TheFlamingWeazel]

Absolutely love the game, but I am having one issue, I keep getting bad throws and errors with analog fielding. I always use analog and never had an issue on ps3, is it due to the DS4 being more precise? Is anyone else finding this difference? I might have to go back to button fielding for now, maybe there will be a patch.

Errors are normal, and I like realism, but I am having real difficulty in MLb 14 on ps4, seems I am getting 4-5 errors a game and more errant throws to the cut-off man,.

I'm having the same issue. I was playing some guy online last night and had 3 overthrows in a row on the same play. Luckily the guy I was playing had no idea how to run the bases and he got caught with his pants down between 2nd and 3rd. I even lowered throwing difficulty to Veteran and still no luck.

yes more precise as discussed in the impressions thread. Lower difficulty until you become more familiar. I gave up and went back to buttons

I had to reduce the difficulty from Veteran to Rookie, seems to have helped with the overthrows. I couldn't get a successful throw with it at the higher difficulty.

Yeah, I'm going to have to put the training wheels back on for my favorite fielding mode for sure. I committed 5 throwing errors in my first game at AllStar fielding difficulty (with around 100 people watching on twitch, no less )

Veteran seems a lot more manageable right now. It's just the different feel of the PS4's analog sticks that makes it different.

I had to lower my difficulty as well b/c of the amount of errors, it's not bad at all anymore.

Same for me. I played the PS3 version using my DS4 with zero issues, though.

I use analog for fielding and I noticed back in mlb12 I would have a lot of throwing errors, but I figured out if you turn off the fielding meter it help eliminate the throwing errors, I believe with it off it basically just relies on the fielder throwing attributes. so far I have had no errors on throws and it looks better not having a throwing meter on the screen.

I may try this. Do you literally have no errors, though? I just want a realistic number, not eight plus a game.

You will still have some errors, a way more realistic amount of errors than what you have been, I can't say it make errors at random, but if say your shortstop has a poor arm and throwing ability he will produce more errors than a guy who has a elite arm and throwing ability. I'm not sure on how it all works but I notice with having the meter off I made a lot less errors on throws.

Re: Issues with Analog fielding?

It was especially awful in my career with a 2b with like 40 throw accuracy. I was making 3-5 errors a game with my guy alone on throwing errors.


When I played a game as the Dodgers vs the Giants I had no problem with throwing errors the whole time under the same settings, seems like lower rated guys just get punished really hard or something.

Re: Issues with Analog fielding?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one having this issue with the analog fielding. I also keep having 3-4 errors a game on veteran throwing difficulty. That was the method I used and preferred in previous games and want to stick with it now. It just seems a little too unforgiving currently. Hopefully rookie throwing difficulty will help, and/or I'll just have to get better

I went all the way down to rookie and I still throw way too many errors.
Back to buttons...
