EA really made a realistic batting and hitting engine but the fielding play in this game still feels very Triple Playish....especially the infield game...it doenst feel as realistic as other baseball games...its a bit too over the top and arcade-ish. I have seen 1st basemens in the game with no real range in real baseball come up with fielding plays halfway down the 2nd base line to snag grounders.....And all the infielders seem to catch everything on the run. There's not enough subtle stationary fielding in the infield. I would have like to have seen more realistic errors, short hops that get booted, balls that hit off the heel of an infielders glove, some bobbled balls, ect....the fielding is a little to clean.
Also in the outfield, too many balls cut thru the gap. Outfielders dont cut off balls enough to prevent balls going to the wall. I thing the fielding is smooth and control is tight but there seems to be a little to much WOW factor thrown in. I would have liked the fielding to be a bit more realistic, more variety, more blunders and scaled to reflect more of the real ratings MLB players have.
The gameplay is still very fun but with the hitting and pitching engine so realistic in the game, I think if EA also spent more time creating more realistic fielding, this game would have been perfect all around......
