Slow/incorrect animations...

Re: Slow/incorrect animations...

Here are a few more examples of some outfield plays where the animations show a sense of urgency:

Well, then you did not "cancel" a throw as you mentioned in your original email. Instead you hit the circle button too early once. You have to wait to give the throw input for the covering fielder (@ 2B) until the ball has left the hand of the fielder who fielded the hit (aka waiting until the fielding marker is under the intended fielder).

Thanks, I'll try that.

Re: Slow/incorrect animations...

found another one last night, but before I could hit start to take a replay the opposing pitcher was throwing the ball. the feet first slide animation is wrong. in real life you hit the bag with your front foot. in the game the front foot kinda hovers over the bag and you arent actually on the bag until your back leg hits the bag. this is especially annoying when having a runner try to slide into home plate. since you cant head first slide into home (why not btw?) then the defensive has the upper hand no any close play. there shouldnt be a leg hovering over the bag/plate.

Re: Slow/incorrect animations...

post the video so they can see whats going on and fix it. this is a pretty serious issue to gameplay.

I've never posted a vid how do I go about doing that??

Maybe because sliding head first into home (or any base for that matter) is not advised... All kinds of bad things can happen, ask Josh Hamilton, Rafael Furcal or Yunel Escobar.

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Remember Matt Holliday winning the tiebreaker game against the Padres a couple years ago?
Remember Jacoby Ellsbury stealing home off Andy Pettitte?
Ever hear of Pete Rose?

Somebody probably slid head first in a game last night...

Go to your REPLAY in in the game, click L3 and then start the replay. Click it again when finished and it will load into ps3. Then transfer the file to Youtube, and post the link here.

And I didn't say it doesn't happen. (Actually Elvis Andrus did it twice in one play during the Rangers game last night.) Just like players missing the bag/plate with their lead leg... probably happened last night...

And who is this Pete Rose guy you speak of? LOL

?? I've been able to slide head first into home. Done it more than once, including being out once because I slid the wrong way (diving to the left, which turned out to be into the pitcher taking the throw from the catcher on a wild pitch that had skipped to the backstop).

definitely gonna need to see a video with a how to explanation. cause I dont think I have seen a headfirst slide into home since I started playing back in 09.

Re: Slow/incorrect animations...

I'll check to see if I saved that one (since I was the potential tying run in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs, there wasn't an opportunity to replay it, but it did show up in the game highlights). If not, I'll see about getting you one in the next few days, unless someone beats me to it.

Re: Slow/incorrect animations...

Just to B.U.M.P. the original purpose of this thread...

3B "jogging" up to the bunted ball, but then barehand rushes it; Animation could use some hustle!

http://youtu.be/o7o-QwpqdMQ

1B needlessly pumping the glove; Also, he could have charged harder and NOT waited to catch the ball, but I do realize that goes beyond just altering an animation.

Catcher's too many steps.

Re: Slow/incorrect animations...

While I realize every animation isn't perfect, nor should anyone expect them to be, these vids seem to be grasping at straws a bit. Here is a vid of me fielding a bunt by Kenny Lofton in Bedwards' '98 roster set.

No problem with animations.

That 2nd vid is far from a routine DP. It was a chopper 15' in front of the base. In reality, the first baseman would more than likely have just gotten the out at first and not risked throwing it to 2B at all.

I really don't think these vids represent or support the purpose of the OP at all.

You don't!? Read the very first sentence of this entire thread!
And even Pared and Woodweaver were talking about the 'extra steps.'

And to clarify, I never claimed that that vid should have been a double play. I also didn't mention that I'm only managing, and so these are all AI triggered animations. Which might raise another question of why doesn't the AI use the fastest-possible branching animation just like humans can?
Or do they???

Look, I'm not trying to pick on the game, I save plenty of replays that I like also. I'm just trying to provide more evidence. I've come to realize that what one person thinks is a ridiculous video game animation, another person believes to be an entirely realistic looking play. Nothing anyone can do about that, I guess...
