Slide Animation for SS/2B

[datsamoandude]

Im from New Zealand, and was introduced to the wonderful world of MLB thanks to a mate I play Madden with,suggesting the show was a must have game...now, Im addicted to the franchise...

anyways, Im wondering...how do you do the SS/2B animation where the infielder slides on their *** to pick up a ground ball hit between the bases - the one where the slide down and up to pick up the ball, all in one motion, then firing it off to the base?

I use analog fielding, and just move the SS/2B to that location, and they normally just reach down for the ball (or whiff)...was just wondering how to do this slide as I see the CPU do it all the time

thanks in advance

really, Ive never once had my SS or 2B on my team pull that move off...is it cause I user my defenders?...Im new to baseball and this game so excuse me of this is a stupid question...just been a number of times where I would have been able to get the out at first if my infielder was able to pull this move off...thought it would be a button or something

Do you use the same team? It's a ratings thing.

Funny thing about this - everyone complains it happens to often and here you are saying it has never happened with your players.

Yeah, it's a random animation, based on where you are when you reach the ball. In your case, you're actually doing better - getting your fielder in front of the ball like you are supposed to. The slide move is when the fielder is late getting there.
