Not fielding cleanly.

[L_Thibs]

I'm getting a lot of booted grounders where both infielders and outfielders are not fielding groundballs cleanly.....resulting in infield hits (that should be outs) or doubles (that should've been singles in the outfield). This is occurring with all fielding sliders at default and HOF pitching.
Was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this frequently?

Do you have guys playing out of position? That would certainly cause it.

No....I've played over 20 games now and everyone has been in their proper positions. It happens with both infielders and outfielders multiple times every game.

To get you some advice, what fielding options are you using?

I'm using (for the pertinent ones I'm aware of):

Throwing interface buttons
Fielding decision assist
Throwing decision off

One button dive/jump off
auto INF jump ON
auto INF dive off

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

I gotta run out. Get back. Meanwhile see if someone else can jump in.

I've seen this with analog but not since I switched to buttons like you have it.

Re: Not fielding cleanly.

Maybe try auto fielding for a few games and just see if it happens as often? I haven't noticed any pattern like you are describing and that's with IF/OF errors at 8/6.

How hard hit are these groundballs? I'm not sure how practice mode works but you may be able to do some fielding practice on groundballs and see what you can figure out from there.

Like Irish said, put it on AUTO field with you doing the throwing and see how it feels. Without seeing what you’re doing it’s hard to tell.

They're all pretty routine grounders....even the one's hit to the outfielders. No hot shots or anything like that. In the infield, it's guys ranging fairly routinely to one side or the other. Both in the infield and the outfield, they just seem to be booting it often even just slightly so.

I don't want to play with auto- fielding, but will try it to see what happens in the animations and so forth.

I've been playing The Show for well over a decade, but maybe I'm doing something differently and need to work that out.

Thanks guys for all the input. Appreciate it.
