Out fielders and third basemen momentarily hesitating?

[baprecure]

Has anyone experienced the outfielders or third baseman hesitating as soon as the opposing team hits the ball? Recently the third baseman or outfielders will react slowly once the ball has been hit in their direction..


Or maybe it's just the Mets....

Same here,but mainly the 3rd basemen. Several times its happened against the opposing team and Ièm thinking: Why didnèt he dive for that? Its like an infielder playing in the outfield,not knowing what to do.

Hopefully the slowdown and general stupidity of fielders gets fixed with a patch, but I'm not holding my breath.

And today I noticed that sometimes they won't auto-dive or jump.. Had a great chance to get a pop fly and the fielder decides he would rather run past the marker than slow down into the animation

havent noticed this myself but have noticed long delay in advancing runners from base to base that seems rather unrealistic when using the right trigger. Anyone experience this.

I've had some moments where I tell the runner to round third but he will stop, wait a few seconds, then take off for home.. or they will round the base then take their precious time getting back to base

Re: Out fielders and third basemen momentarily hesitating?

I've had problems with both the slowness of fielders and base runners. With my infielders it really only happens with my first basemen and my third basemen when the ball is hit down the line. As for out fielders, it is almost every time the ball is hit to them. That mostly only occurs when I'm playing online though.

As for the base runners, I have all of the above problems, and it annoys the **** out of me. I've gotten thrown out when moving into scoring position so many times. And I've been thrown out at home from the outfield due to the guy rounding third and then slowing down and taking his sweet *** time to get to the plate.

How soon to you tell him to advance to home? I found if you wait until he's almost toward third he will slow down and stop, then go. You almost have to be just off of second base for the runner not to stop.

I have noticed that also, you need to instruct the baserunner to advance way before he gets to the base or they will slow way down. I think there is an attribute for baserunning awareness that would probably make the runner quicker when changing direction on the basepaths. I have also noticed on several hard hit line drives right at the first or third baseman's feet or close to their feet that it will just go right by them without them trying to reach for it to make the catch.

I played one game where the batter hit a double up the gap, and the runner on 1st base hesitated before he ran to 2nd, and got thrown out, when he could have easily made it to 3rd. So instead of runners at 3rd and 2nd with 0 outs, the player that doubled was still on 1st with 1 out. Crazy base running AI needs to be addressed. Same goes for the outfielders that hesitate on their throws to 3rd or home plate. They have plenty of time to attempt a throw, but instead they hold the ball and let the other team score. It's maddening.
