One thing they need to change in franchise - bobbled ground balls

Maybe it's worse in manage mode. I see several each game in both the infield and outfield on routine plays. I can understand on a difficult play where the fielder has to dive for the ball but it rarely happens in MLB on routine plays.

I play MOM. Several a game? If I do see one I think “cool animation”, but several a game?

Odd, I have errors turned up and I'm still not sure I see it enough.

The errors engine is odd though. According to all of my testing, it works on a formula where the longer you go without seeing an error, the higher the odds of an error happening. It eventually stacks up so high that the player in question or the ease of the play become non-factors.

So there's this situation where turning errors up actually helped out my team (with it's high defensive ratings), as lower defensively rated players and tough plays were causing more errors, allowing my team's defense to be a bigger factor as the error "stack" was more often satisfied.

So, as odd as it sounds, maybe turning errors up might help with your issue.

I believe just as there is pitcher confidence there may be a hidden confidence for fielders and batters. Maikel Franco made 3 errors in one inning for me recently. One was the bobbled ball glitch and the other two were throwing errors.

It happens with batters also in manage mode where they get a hit on the first at bat and it continues for the rest of the game.

Interesting theory. I played a play now game with all 4 error sliders at 10....but no errors in the game.

I’ll try another one with my franchise to see if different results.

Using the controller or manage mode?

i played on Manual fielding, buttons throwing, no meters tho.

After that i played my regular Franchise and got 2 fielding (infield) errors.

I know one game is a ridiculous sample but it's encouraging that even with all errors at 10 you can play a full game with no errors.
