Little pet peeves that keeps bugging me.

[LastActionHero]

Ok 3 different players with (what I consider) a weird robotic second take/late reaction in animation.




Here you see the first take is smooth but the second one looks like there is a split second pause.

Going off of these clips in regards to analog hitting...

One thing that bugs me is players morphing into their 'taking a pitch' animation if you don't keep the analog stick pulled back after the catcher receives the ball. This isn't a problem if you hit with the x button because the player automatically strides.

I tend to let go of the stick if I decided to not swing, so the batter will go back into their natural stance. Then, say a player with an open stance takes the pitch. Within a millisecond, the batter moves his whole body and slides his front foot into the animation. I wish the game would just have them look back and step out of the box.

Is that what causes this? Because I also let go of the stick after I stride and let the ball pass. I know for sure this didn't happen in 12/13. Maybe this is happening because they changed the stride timing this year..?

Ive never seen this before at all and I use zone, I dont use analog so Im guessing thats the issue..weird..now that I see it.

I realized how great this game is after my yearly struggle with Madden. With the Show, I have my own list of little peeves (such as the sweat stains and the delay by the first baseman before throwing around the horn) but they are just little peeves. Everytime I play the Show, I'm guaranteed a solid game of baseball and I can't wait until the next game.

What I'm talking about and what you are talking about are related, but aren't exactly the same thing.

I think that the delayed reaction of what your are seeing is just on the PS4. While batters still snap into their 'take a pitch' animation on PS3, they do not have that 1 or 2 second delayed reaction you are talking about.

This would also explain why you haven't seen it in 12 or 13.

This thread is active for this time of year.
Someone asked me about the Opening Day bug and how to avoid it.
I'm vaguely familiar with it.....can any elaborate on it and the fix for it?

Thanks!
(I'm sure that if it happened to me...it would be a pet peeve that bugged me!(to be on topic )

I haven't played this on the PS4 yet but 14 is by far the best work they have ever done. That said there are a few things that should be fixed.

The Jeter time out at the plate. Everybody?
Wild pickoff throws to first.
Slide into second to break up a double play? Hitter slides into first. New one.
More urgency in throws. Please.

As I said this year's game is head and shoulders above all of the previous versions.
