slower to use cutoff man than just throw to base?

[m-dogg]

can anything fix this? whenever I use my cutoff man he takes forever to relay the throw to the next target. Ive tried "preloading" the throw, Ive tried it with a "turbo" throw....no difference. I'm wondering if one of the sliders might control this animation/problem? anyone else having this issue?

i'd like to be rewarded for playing good baseball not punished for it..

This is really a lose-lose thing for me. Using the cut off man and having him take forever to relay the ball means the baserunner will be safe. But I find if I throw directly to a base, the CPU baserunner will take advantage and head to the NEXT base.

What settings are you using fielding? (ie. fielding speed, reaction, throw speed...anything that has to do with fielding)

i think the infielder/outfielder reaction slider affects this so give that a try and let me know

i make up for it by having IF throw speed at 15 instead of 0 like most sliders on this site.

What is/how do you do a "turbo throw"?

What is/how do you do a "turbo throw"?

Hold down Right trigger....Also you can aim your throw high or low by the left stick

Example throwing to first base from the short stop....Press b for first base while holding down the right trigger..But you might have a wild throw, so just throw normal and aim your throw with the left stick...yOU HAVETO know whether your player throwing the ball has a week or strong arm..No reason for agressive/turbo throw if he has a gun and is really accurate....Seems like you are trying to get close double plays..Timing is everything..But you can always turn up your throwing power for infield and outfield.....

There's no fix. The issue (pointed out by Blzer and others) is that there's no friction with throws, so there's no ball slowdown. Direct throws get to the player faster than any throws that are relayed. Yet another one of those 'hopefully will be fixed for next year' things.
