When will the show fix the catchers missing pitches which are in the zone

[jsou4646]

First off, the game and series is great, but this is a glaring issue that kills the immersion of the simulation. By no means does it kill the game, but I've seen this happen quite a bit this year. Pitches that are blatant strikes hit off the catchers mask or shoulder and it just looks extremely odd, I could see maybe once or twice a year, but it is fairly common at least 2 or 3 per 7 or so games. Does anyone know why this hasn't been fixed. Every year I think it will be fixed.

apparently, that is realism.

just like a game in 2015 having no stat tracking.

one can always wonder.

hope u r welk, jsou.

Cool man, good to hear from you. You still playing 2k5. I've came close to firing it up again.

No he's referring to pitches that are taken by the batter and are blatantly missed by the catcher.

I see it but it only happens without runners on base (for me) so it's never bothered me much.

This is actually what causes passed balls in the game (scored when runner(s) advance).

I agree the presentation is rather poorly done (basically the game doesn't have good animations indicating the catcher missing the pitch), but the frequency of passed balls is actually within a realistic range.

I think the game just needs to add smoother animation/presentation when passed balls happen.

Ugh, the superhuman catchers have been in the game for the past 3 years now. It's horrible and doesn't seem like it's going away any time soon.

Yeah I agree with that because when you see the catch miss the ball like 99% of the time he doesn't even move his glove. In real life even when a catcher misses a strike on a pitch he gets crossed up on he is still going to at least move his glove.

I agree, i got burnt bad by one on a 4 seamer, that somehow bounced into the stands for two bases on a 3rd strike. I was heated.

Agree with both of these. I can see why it would bother some but I don't mind it, since it's never actually influenced gameplay.

This problem has cost me numerous games and happens alot with a runner on 3rd base, Pitch off the catchers glove, Bam automatic score from 3rd, Very frustrating.

I have yet to see the catcher miss a pitch in the zone with runners on base. This goes for both me and the cpu
