    Re: Urgency Issues

    I haven't really had runners beat out throws because of the issue, but the amount of close plays that shouldn't be close is unsettling. I think the issue may be that the fielders take their sweet time, but baserunners are hustling 110%. We get the lazy throw over but not the lazy jog down the line. IRL, batters aren't really trying to beat out hard-hit, routine grounders, and that's when fielders slack off a bit. In the game, however, hitters always run up to their rated speed, and it throws the balance off.

        It's even worse with outfielders sometime.

        A simple fix, for meters, is to make the center of the green a quick throw. Center green = quick, hard, accurate throw.

            I don't have any of these "urgency issues" that other folks are seeing. I can count on maybe 1 had the number of times I've given up an infield hit. I use push button throwing and make sure that I hold down the button so the fielder guns the throw over to 1st and it's fine. I don't even have to always gun it to get the guy out.

                I had two plays in the same game yesterday where my 3B or SS dove for a line drive, stopped it in their glove, stood right up, and then refused to throw to first. It's so frustrating! They just stand there and let the runner reach safely, and then toss it gently over.
                Anyone who claims to be a fan of two teams in the same pro sport is actually a fan of none.

                    Yep, I've had that issue with SS and 3B. No other positions though. They definitely have some bugs and coding issues to fix with fielding.
