Outfielder Errors....?

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

None of those are in the game.

Sorry, this simply is not an accurate statement.

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

OF's drop fly balls, botch grounders (especially when charging), and make poor throws.

None of those are in the game.

The rest of us haven't conspired to lie about this. They're in the game. They're just really rare.

Just because you personally haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

This just happened last night, begging Matt to ponder "What the Canseco is going on?":

And go figure, no error on the play, and my FLD% sits at 1.000.

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

I've personally never seen one, in about 200 games. I do see them misplay liners and try to be a hero and turn a single into a double or triple. But even many of those they make miraculous catches. Thats my experience, if a flyball goes in the outfield it will be an out, every time so far. But obviously it does happen sometime, given the replies above, I just haven't seen it.

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

With all of that said, in real life, how many routine flys are dropped?? I dont think it happens enough in real life for Scea to add more of them in to the game.

I can tell you are not an A's fan. I have seen Jack Cust drop more fly balls in the last three years than I have seen all other outfielders in the last 30 years.

On the last video, Rajai Davis did almost the exact same thing in real life, almost making a catch and having the ball pop out and over the fence. Of course the A's announcers were quick to mention Canseco LMAO

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

I originally posted the following in the latest patch thread, but it might be better suited for this thread:

"Anyone else seeing errors scored incorrectly since the patch? Just played my first post-patch game using the Braves and McClouth bobbled and dropped a ball hit by Doumit with 2 outs and a runner on 2nd and it wasn't scored as an error. The announcers even commented on the dropped ball referring to it as an error. In the boxscore, Doumit was credited with an RBI but wasn't given a hit. In the 5th inning, Hanson threw the ball by Prado on a pickoff attempt and it wasn't scored an error. Maybe it's coincedence, but prior to this patch, I had yet to see an error scored incorrectly. Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: Just moved on to the next game against Florida and in the 1st inning, Ramirez hit a grounder to Prado who overthrew Glaus at 1st. The play was scored as a single and Ramirez was nowhere near 1st base when the ball sailed over Glaus' head. What the heck is going on here?"

I really feel bad for the guys at Scea. Reading these boards makes me wonder what makes a baseball gamer happy. I dont know how many posts I've seen over the last few years about canned errors and errors happening to cost someone a game, but in this case it doesn't happen enough. I guarantee if we saw more fly balls dropped this board would be blowing up talking about simple fly balls being dropped in the outfield. I just dont understand how the fellas at Scea can ever get it right for some gamers.

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

I had Michael Bourn misplay a ball while trying to pick it up as it rolled towards him.

I play with the ball location icons off, but I keep the region indicator on so I misplay a lot of fly balls. I'm actually thinking of just going to auto-fielding after seeing the thread where people were suggesting it.

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

FWIW, I play with fielding errors at 6 (sliders) and throwing errors at 7, so I can get the right amount of errors per game statistically, and all the errors are by 3B, SS, and 2B regardless of fielder quality.

YES, i agree... i am also seeing a problem developing...prado already has 5 errors, escobar 3 and chipper 2...and no one else has an error. Realistically prado should end up w/ about 5 for the ENTIRE season, and i have only played 12 games...i'm gonna have to back off the error sliders, right now both are at 7.

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

I just had Daric Barton, playing 2nd base, drop an easy pop up. At first I was glad to see it finally, then I was thinking that it shouldn't matter if he is not a 2nd baseman as he should still be able to make popups, but then I remember it was Barton and I watched him drop three foul ball popups in one game, two were back to back lmao.

I agree with the above poster. Mark Ellis had more fielding errors in my first season than he had in five years combined. My SS, while not a stud defender, had 22 errors on the season. Two of my outfielders didn't have any all year and ended up winning gold gloves.

Re: Outfielder Errors....?

Ask my brother if outfielders make errors in this game lol. My brother has played about 15 to 16 games so far and he has already experienced his outfielders misplay a ball 3 times and let it drop, they have bobbled hits, etc.
