Anyone seen any collisions at home plate?

[tmac55]

I have searched the forums and have not found much on this.... I have seen an awkward animation where the catcher moves out of the way if a throw is close but no direct collision.

My guess is that maybe this comes as a clutch moment with the camera change at a certain moment?

Yes, I plowed the catcher over once.

I've plowed the catcher over 4 or 5 times and each time I am hoping the ball pops out and I'll be safe. Hasn't happened yet. I've been out every time. I guess since I've seen this animation that many times I'm an awful baserunner. Which I am.

Once so far. Wells knocked the ball loose against the Rangers.

My brother accidentally sent a runner home and was a dead man. But I saw him try to bowl over the catcher. You're out!

Only once. The ball popped out and the CPU scored the go-ahead run. I wasn't happy.

Is this just an animation or there is a button to press that isn't in the manual or something?

The one time it happened for me it was done automatically (The catcher held on, BTW).

I sent the runner from 3rd on a dead duck at home, and he plowed into the catcher. I've never seen the catcher fumbling the ball for safe, tho.

I've seen it once and it looked really really good, somebody tried to run Doumit over and got planted lol

I think the animation triggers automatically and not on a button push. It has occured for me both ways. It is always triggered when I'm gonna be out by a mile and my only hope is that the catcher drops it. But apparently that can happen, so that's good news.

I've gotten plowed over before...and my catcher dropped the ball.
