Arm speed or lack of friction?

Re: Arm speed or lack of friction?

what i did was edit the players attributes and lowered arm strength by 20 and put all accuracy to 0.

Somebody's got it right Personally, I wouldn't go to 0 for everyone, but certainly a lot of these ratings need to be lowered by anywhere from 20-90%. Some of the ratings in this game are ridiculous.

Re: Arm speed or lack of friction?

they still need to do something about the throws rolling home all the way from the outfield walls.

I find this to be my biggest gripe. Balls rocketed in from the warning track make it to the plate on 2 bounces without skipping a beat. The ball should begin to slow down more and more after each bounce.

Re: Arm speed or lack of friction?

Compared to MLB? If you set the OF Arm slider at 0, and then edit players' arm ratings 20%, then yeah, I agree with you.

First of all, I played with arm speed at zero for over 70 games; I don't just have it at 50 for the hell of it.

The fact is, with my trio of outfielders (Granderson, Monroe and Ordonez), the throws from the OF were simply not coming in fast enough. In real pressure spots where I thought it should be a close play, the throws were garbage. Watching a few real baseball games only highlighted the problem.

Sure, maybe the throws look a little fast, but I'm getting more than my fair share of doubles and triples; the actual time it's taking a throw to get from point A to point B is pretty consistent relative to how strong a guy's arm is.

But hey, if you're happy with your tinkering, more power to ya. I'm just saying I'm not having a problem with throw speeds.
