This is an issue that I've had for a few years, but now it's just too much. We need to have more control over our fielders in a few different ways. I've committed a ton of errors in the outfield because I can't position my players with total control. There have been plenty of times where I've only had to backtrack just a little bit, but due to how wonky the player movements are my fielder gets there with his back turned when the ball arrives and commits a goofy looking error. Why isn't there a strafe button in the field? I hate having to run around in circles just trying to field an easy fly ball.
Fielding needs to not be so animation based. Let me do all of that. I can't tell you how many times a groundball goes up the middle of the dugout and if my middle infielders actually got a decent jump on it and ran over there like I'm telling them to, we could potentially make a play. Instead, they do that lazy little animation where they stretch out there glove halfheartedly and give up the base hit.
My final issue doesn't effect me negatively too often, but after a play today I just want it gone. I had a grounder come back up the middle to my pitcher. He bobbled it a little, but still had all the time in the world to get the out. First of all, the animation took forever to play out so by the time he actually picked up the ball and stopped standing still the runner was more than half way to first, but a good hard throw could get him.. Instead, he picks it up, looks at the ball, takes his time, and throws it softly over even though I told him to really put some *** behind it. That needs to go. Outfielders and infielders with both lollygag it back it, if I wanted that, I'd tap the button, not smash it in like my life depended on it.
I wouldn't be surprised if this gets closed, but come on now, we need some better control on defense.
