I've been playing shortstop using a created player with all defensive ratings maxed out at 99 with default sliders. I'm playing the ps3 version using the player lock and man is the fielding frustrating. I feel I have little control over what actually plays out during the animations. Here are some of the issues I'm facing.
Way too many times the fielder takes too many steps or hops after catching a ball to either side instead of just planting his foot and throwing. The runner ends up safe on routing plays way too much.
I'm using the button accuracy for throwing with the meter turned off. It says that when the meter is off throwing strength is not determined by how long you hold the button and based on fielder skills.
After numerous games I've determined that if I press the throw button and don't let off the throw is always chest high or higher and if i tap the throw button the throw is always low. Also with the ratings maxed out at 99 I'm still seeing throwing errors about every 3 or 4 games. That's way too often IMO with those defensive ratings.
So has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions or fixes?
With the ps4 version having more animation than the ps3 I was hoping that these issues aren't in the ps4 version. Has anyone experienced this in the ps4 as well? Thanks everyone!
