Pass balls in the dirt getting by the catcher

[prestwood90]

Is this a slider issue or a game flaw, or just me? Seems like curveballs get by to the backstop way too frequently, any thoughts??

Haha no one in particular just in general.......I'm scared to throw breaking balls with runners on base

It's not a slider problem, I don't think. Though the Show could use a couple new sliders specifically for catching. The only other slider that might do anything would be pitcher control and I think tinkering with it could create more problems than it solved. Maybe it's something a patch will fix.

I think there are too many balls that get by for sure. Some new sliders/attributes for catchers would be a welcomed improvement.

I think it is just that the catchers in the game are not as capable in keeping the pitches in the dirt *in front of them* than the catchers in real life.

Unfortunately, increasing the Block attribute does not quite make them better enough (though it helps somewhat).

It is just a game tuning issue that you could avoid by avoiding thowing pitches in the dirt.

Why did they say they really worked on tuning this part of the game - catcher blocking and reacting and especially throwing. I still see lollipop throws to the bag when the catcher blocks a ball and throws to a base. How did this make it's way back into the game??

True but it doesn't help the CPU side.

Raising Control/Consistency help (some) but create other side effects.

They really just need to add a Blocking/Receiving slider. Call it Catching Errors or something.
