I have had some pretty sweet animations in the field on auto, but also love to the throw the ball manually.
    I do manual throw. I've noticed that if I try to preload too early they don't throw.
    I try and start my preload about a second or so before they get the ball so I am releasing the button as soon as they get the ball.

      Ok thanks for the feedback. I will give that a shot.

        I've live in Hawaii for the past 17 years, was in the military and decided to get out and stay here. Lol, the weather blue skies and beaches with girls in tiny bikinis hasn't kept me from tossing controllers from some of these ridiculous fielding plays.

        On a side note, I've bumped up fielders reaction to 7 and it seems to have helped a little on hot shots to 1B and 3B. But yesterday I had that exact double play to 2B where he tossed it over the SS head and ultimately cost me the game. Yes, it happens in real life, but it happens way too much in this game.

          Not true. I had the ball go under the CPU's glove today. Granted that was like the first time but it can happen.

            The exception that proves the rule, or something.

            I think I'm going to migrate to auto-fielding, manual throwing.

              No, I know completely where you are coming from. It has frustrated the hell out of me the past little while. I can't stand seeing my second basemen field a ground ball and throw it right over the shortstops head completely blowing my double play. Especially with gold glovers up the middle.

              My main frustration is just with pitchers now who while fielding comebackers take their time and not only botch the out at 2 don't even give me enough time to cancel the throw and fire to 1.

              Apparently my 3rd basemen and firstbasemen wont catch bloopers hit directly at them too, theyd rather have the ball go through them.

                    My only real gripe with the fielding is how the cpu Ai always seems to make amazing diving catches or plays even with some of the worst fielders in the league.

                      I agree with that and then when your 90 rated OF gets the same kind of fly ball or even an easy one he botches it.

                      I was playing a game yesterday where my closer has been blowing saves left and right, then finally with two men on a fly ball to elsbery to CF, an easy 3rd out, he runs to get the ball, one he should have easily had, bounces off his glove and two runs score and I end up losing.

                        Out of curiosity, did this happen in franchise mode?

                          I didn't read through the whole thread, but have you guys tried putting the fielding on automatic? Not only is it less frustrating, but it REALLY shows more animations. I've seen about 5 different diving catch animations.

                            I've seen a few of those hits that go right threw the fielders glove. The other thing I've seen is fielders not coming to a full extension on those infield hits. I currently have reaction time at a 6 but I'll bump it to a 7 soon.

                              For me this has been the worst the fielding has been since I began playing in 2010. I've had outfielders running away from the ball even though I directed the LS towards the ball, and all of those other things mentioned. It's extremely frustrating and I've definitely quit a few games because of it. I have played hundreds upon hundreds of games from 2010 to now and until this year I never had a big problem with fielding at all. For some reason this year it just hasn't been good at all. I've thought about turning the fielding on automatic but have yet to do so. I just deal with the issues and move on.

                                My only fielding gripe is that the catchers react far too quickly to pop-ups and choppers in front of the plate.
