Too many ground rule doubles???

They really jacked up the game with the new ball physics.

It's happen to me a lot lately too. I've had it happen twice in one game..both times when I had a runner on first.

Jacked up in that they made it awesome? I agree!! Totally awesome.

I think "jacked up" might be too harsh, but I do agree in general the new physics has done as many bad things as it has good. The physics might be "new", but they are not "correct" in many ways.

This just happened to me.

Seems a bit overdone.

I'm going to start keeping track in my dynasty. I'll post the results here after at least 50 games.

Thumbs up for video evidence!

I'm not experiencing this but that does seem a bit much, especially off the grass.

I'm 28 games into my RTTS playing on HOF with Pyschobulk's sliders. My guy has 11 doubles and 10 of them are ground rule doubles. Way too many IMO.

I don't think there is any doubt it happens much too often but the questions is what, if anything, is the fix for it?

Change the physics for the ball hitting off the grass. I don't mind it bouncing quicker on grass, but it doesn't need to bounce as high.

I have to admit I haven't really read through all the responses here, but I thought I'd chime in.....

From my Franchise experience, much of the time the outfield in Fenway seems to play like a trampoline.
It's a shame too because you don't see the unusual bounces and plays the park is known for......I can honestly say I've never seen a ball get lost out in the triangle or take a bad bounce and roll away out in right (all go into the stands), but I can say I've seen a shot in the gap literally take a bounce and end up in the stands, bouncing from an ungodly distance to get there.
So imo there would seem to be a bit of a problem.

I think the game has a realistic representation of Fenway.... those unusual plays are well represented:

The baseball is like one of those blue racquet balls in this game, crazy hops.
