    Yeah - reaction for infielders needs to be more impacting at elite levels. Maybe have "bonuses" for players over 85 or so reaction.

    I shouldn't have to put the fielding slider at 8 to see plays like this - and sometimes they still don't happen (the fielder won't even try for it).

    Something else is at work and I can't figure out what it is.

      Try putting your Fielder Speed and Fielder Reaction sliders on 0. With no help from the sliders, your fielders utilize only thier ratings to make plays. You will definitely see slower outfielders burned on drives into the gaps, while fielders rated higher for speed and reaction will run the same drives down. I have played with these sliders zeroed out since MLB The Show 13. The difference in The Show 15 is there are more triples and speedsters scoring from second on deep flys to weak-armed centerfielders. I have also seen 3 inside-the-park homers during my season, which is approaching July 4. The ballparks are bigger in The Show 15. Also, your higher rated infielders will get to more grounders into the hole than players rated lower in reaction. I play exclusively cpu v cpu.

        Auto fielding turned on and Mike Trout does this......


        I gotta admit I laughed when it happened and immediately thought of Smalls from the Sandlot

          I had a Machado like play with Moustakas (68 field, 84 arm str, 68 arm acc) against the Angels like 2-3 games ago, made the long throw on the run and everything, except Trout was the one who hit the ball so that was cool i guess (TNK Sliders, Hybrid Roster)
