Excessive passed balls - Anyone else experiencing this?

[dtg2k15]

Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Ive tried every level of pitching, adjusted sliders/etc...and my catcher still misses nearly every pitch.

My catcher does not play another position (he's a primary catcher)

Here's a video

Who was the catcher, was it a created player that you created? Or maybe a generated minor leaguer you brought up to the MLB team? What are his ratings for fielding, blocking, and reaction?

I agree that there are too many of these in a game, no matter the catcher. Or at the very least, two many balls bounce way too far.

This has been an issue for a few years, at least. It would be cool if these were more organic, and less canned looking too as it seems the ball goes one of maybe 3-4 different places that are pre-scripted.

I had this happen as well in spring training game. I looked and the player behind the plate was a second baseman. Don't remember what team I was playing against nor the player.

Yeah a lot of 3rd strikes you have to throw to 1st base, far too many and its been an issue forever. Along with the passed balls.

Kurt Suzuki, fielding rating is an 80

I use the Giants and they have Buster Posey. I experience passed balls more often than what I see in real life. It is definitely noticeable.

Check again, looks like you had Matt Kemp behind the plate....

I think it's not passed balls (which correlates with catcher's fielding attribute), but wild pitches that tend to be higher out of box. You can either increase Pitcher Consistency slider(s) or catcher's Block attribute to alleviate the issue.

I've seen it way too often as well. Exhibition games, 7 or so in. A lot more prevelant than previous years. I like when there mixed in, but not 3 or 4 in a two inning span.

Judging from your video, your putting a lot on the ball and your timing is off on most pitches

You have Matt Kemp behind the plate.

Not Kurt Suzuki.
