What is Up With All the Erros?

[CMcCord84]

Every time a batter hits a grounder to first and I as the first baseman throws to second to start the double play his throws are always off. I seem to get two errors all the time even the infield error sliders on zero, what gives? Anyone else having this issue? I play with the A’s if that makes a difference.

Re: What is Up With All the Erros?

I dropped IF throwing errors to 4 and it helps a lot. Far too many silly thrown errors, mostly on routine double plays chances. I also lowered OF throw error to 1. Every errant throw was from a throw to the cut off man 99% of the time. And 99% of the time it never resulted in an extra base taken. Only looks silly to see it happen like once every game.

Re: What is Up With All the Erros?

There was a time when they're weren't enough errors in this game so I personally like to leave them at default because it also feels fairly realistic (if you've been watching, there have been a ton of silly errors in MLB this year).

I just wish there were more fielding errors and less throwing. Hardly ever see fielding errors but tons of throwing at default. I have OF fielding errors at 6 and barely notice anything. Raising IF fielding errors to 6 creates a lot of mistakes, bobbles, etc but the game does not do a good job of scoring errors unless it is a slow grounder, routine of all routine groundballs. That's the biggest problem I think. Throwing errors at 4 is still good but definitely if you want more it's easy to do.

That’s where all my errors come from, routine double plays, it’s so frustrating

I play auto field/manual throw and I’ve seen this, but “everytime”, no way. Then....it sorta stopped. Not sure why.

Re: What is Up With All the Erros?

fielder errors & reaction, infield arm strength, fielder & baserunner speed,
I always play with those sliders set at 3 every year

also, one typo is the difference in the errorists winning

Re: What is Up With All the Erros?

Every day a new thread has me wondering if I'm playing the same game as others. I've got my error sliders all at 9 or 10 so that I can get closer to real errors. Even raised that high my team is ranked 2nd with a .991 fielding % through 60+ games.

who's the 1B ? some players have terrible throw accuracy. If it's too low, leave the sliders at default and jump pump up the player ACC attribute a bit.

Re: What is Up With All the Erros?

I think I found the culprit, do not lower Fielder Reaction below 5. I was testing sliders and decided to try out moving fielder reaction to 4 because the CPU was rarely making errors and OMG they were getting 4 or 5 errors a game and silly bobbles. So I put it back up to 5 and they got zero errors the next game and no silly bobbles.

I play with reaction at 0 and all fielding and throwing errors at either 9 or 10 and I've never seen a team commit more than 3 errors in one game and that was against the Brewers who committed 2 of those 3 errors on one play.

After 60+ games in franchise mode my team has a .991 fielding % and is ranked 2nd in the NL in that category. The player on my team with the most errors to this point in the season is Dansby Swanson with 4.

I feel like 60+ games is a good sized sample.

Re: What is Up With All the Erros?

I'm really surprised this hasn't been said, but you can't just look at the erro sliders.

Virtually every slider can have an impact on erros in this game as they are all relative to one another. If baserunner speed is high, higher-effort throws may be needed, which can lead to more erros. If balls are hit harder, you may see more bobble animations (so any of the hitting sliders can potentially impact erros). If arm strength is off of default, you might see a change in erro distribution (relative to the other slider settings).

It's not as easy as just honing-in on those couple of values; sometimes you have to look holistically at the entire setup.

I was seeing this as well. For the first time I have turned on the throwing meter. Got used to it pretty fast and fixed what I was seeing. Maybe give it a shot.

Do you see a lot of bobbles and mis plays from fielders with no errors being scored by the game though? That's what I've found happens by raising fielding errors. For example, last night bottom 12th I had a man on 1st. I rope a ball kinda in the gap. CF reaches to cut off the ball and it rolls past his out stretched glove and I score the walk off run to win it.

I personally enjoy seeing those plays that do lead to extra bases or an IF base hit sometimes. But do wish the game scored errors a lot better. Especially in the OF cause I'm with ya. To me that was a single and then error on the CF. Fielding errors are way low in the game compared to real life. Maybe that's why the game has so many IF throwing errors to compensate?

OF throw errors are 100% pointless in the game IMO cause they never cause anything extra, therefore errors are never scored. Just looks dumb IMO to see outfielders toss wild ones past the cut off man 3-5 times a game, and hear the announcer go "oh and that one gets away, but the runner will hold at 1st base."

Re: What is Up With All the Erros?

I’ve had to up errors on sliders as I wasn’t seeing nearly enough.
