It seems like to me that 90% of the catches made by the AI on routine flyballs are these weird sideways shoelace-type catches. It looks like the player is doing a Puig impression or lost it in the sun and catches it 2 feet off the ground. What's the deal? Can they not do a normal catch?

I see normal catches a great deal of the time.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

I see it a fair amount. Not 90 percent, but it does happen a little too often probably. Every now and then it scares me that my fielder is going to actually lose the ball.Comment

I'd love to see this 90% circus catches...sounds entertaining!
But yeah, most of my pop flies end up plain old, ordinary catches.Comment

Most of those shoelace catches are the CPU misreading flyballs, I know because I noticed those same animations when I misread flyballs too.Mets/Giants/Knicks/Rangers/Manchester United/Notre Dame Football

4th inning was a groundout (attempting to intentionally hit a flyball for the 3rd out of every inning isn't easy, even on directional) and there was no bottom of the 9th (score). I know the 3rd inning one is the one in question. Even taking away the moving catches, 1 out of 5 isn't what I'd call "damn near every time". Did I just get lucky?
Personally I like the flair, as long as it's not overdone . From where I'm sitting, it isn't.Comment

Re: AI obsessed with making "shoelace" catches on flyballs?
I don't know if you're lucky or I'm unlucky but I see it FAR more often than 1 out of 5 times at the 3rd out.
That would be twice a game if every third out was a flyball. See it much more than that, let alone counting both sides.
I don't check the CPU's ratings for defense, but I know my outfield trio is solid in defense.
Yelich: 78 Fielding, 77 Reaction
Winter: 75 Fielding, 81 Reaction
Harper: 70 Fielding, 74 Reaction
All three are playing their primary positions.
So if they are mis-reading balls that often...why? Not like I have 40-rated scrubs out there."Some people call it butterflies, but to him, it probably feels like pterodactyls in his stomach." --Plesac in MLB18Comment

Re: AI obsessed with making "shoelace" catches on flyballs?
Yeah, I don't really think it's about misreads. Bruce, the one who did the catch in my video, is 81 fielding and just parked under the ball until the animation takes over. Nor do I think it's related to having runners on or not - both of the "showy" catches (1st inning and 3rd) were with runners on.
Dunno - All I'm saying is that I haven't had it happen at the frequency where I would consider it a problem. And I could post more videos showing that, although I'd like to see one from the other side so I can understand exactly what catches you guys are seeing (if it's not the 3rd inning one).Comment

Re: AI obsessed with making "shoelace" catches on flyballs?
The catch at 0:39 is what I keep seeing. Maybe 90% of the time is an exaggeration but it is fairly often and almost always on the 3rd out. I've been playing mostly DD so I don't know if there's any difference.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: AI obsessed with making "shoelace" catches on flyballs?
I didn't see anything wrong with these out animation honestly. My problem is when you have limited and low rated fielders making ridiculous defensive plays and flair catches.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see it way too much. Not realistic.
