    Man this is just ugly..how does this get overlooked?

    This video was posted earlier for it's laughable gameplay by the user(s)



    Obviously the people playing the demo don't konw what they are doing, but that shouldn't impact these horrible throwing animations.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    1) The result of this animation (1:56) is a throw to second:



    2) The result of this animation (0:51) is a throw to third. If you pause it just right in the video, you can acutally see the throw initially go towards second for a split second and then all of a sudden change direction to third.



    Feel free to watch the video for the actual throw (the times are included in the pictures), but how does this happen and it's obviously not rare as we've seen it several times in double play animations with the second baseman stepping toward home and throwing to first.

    Obviously it doesn't really impact game play (unless the animation to one base happens to be longer or shorter than another), but it just makes a routine play look ugly. It's not a special circumstance causing this just an OF throwing the ball in.

    Hopefully just a demo thing, but still mind "bottling" (like when your mind is trapped in a bottle)

      Is that an idea for User-Game friendly from 2k? Like how pitching does not work?

        This is ugly yes. However, I have played prob about 20 games in the demo, and I have not seen this happen once.

          I have. Nubber in front of the plate, catcher throws to first, but his body is throwing the ball to second.

                If the mod's want to lock this feel free. It has been brought up before, but as far as I know only for second basemen completing double plays. I was able to capture it twice in pictures from one video from one game and thought the fact it happened twice in one three inning game to be concerning...and with direct visual evidence a little more meaningful.

                    You can see it many times in the vids Steve posted last week. I noticed it right away. Typically, it happens as per that second screen: the OF is lined up towards the plate and his throw magically angles off sideways to third.

                      How did no one have this name on OS?

                      I mean, "MLB"

                      No one had that? Insane.

                          The funny thing is I played 2 innings of the demo. I had Rollins throwing to 1st. He looked like he was going to throw to 1st. The ball went to 3rd. Rollins was still aiming toward 1st. It was very ugly.

                            Sounds like its pretty random then. Maybe this isn't an issue in the final build, or will be addressed in the patch. Lets hope so anyway.

                              2K has always had these funky throwing animations. This isn't anything new.
