Sense of urgency

[kennyacid]

I am truly enjoying this game but one thing that has been annoying about this series is the lack of urgency. Outfielders taking years to get the ball back into the infield while baserunners run freely without fear of getting thrown in certain situations. It has always been high on my wish list, even higher than graphics . it is not a game killer, but it can cost you if you have runners on second and you need to get the ball in the infield quick and can't.

Preloading the throw helps but yes sometimes its pretty nonchalant

I'll admit, it's kind of frustrating when an infielder applies the tag at half the speed he needs to.

On more than one occasion, I've had an infielder play a ball so slowly that a runner that otherwise would have been a routine out actually ends up beating the throw. Occasionally this has resulted in a run or the continuance of an inning. Very frustrating stuff.

I'm really enjoying the game, probably one of the best baseball games to date. So many positives, so solid.

The only gripe I have with the game is what you described and a few other fielding animations.

Seems to happen at the most inopportune times in the game. I've tried preloading throws, I've tried different timing on the throws (I use meter with accuracy), and sometimes fielders just do some locked animations. I mean maybe this could be something I'm doing to trigger it, I just have run out of experiments to figure it out. The infield pump fakes also seem random? Again maybe it's something I'm doing.(I'm quick on the meter, and usually hit it where I am supposed to).

The other fielding animation that gets annoying is the bracing for the outfield wall, even though the outfielder isn't even at full speed going into the wall. Always lose a few seconds there. I try to always avoid the walls to avoid that animation.

Those are my only minor gripes of very very solid game.

RTTS I hit a deep fly and the guy tagged up from 2nd and scored..the OF played it like there was no one on base.
