How many use "Auto Fielding" vs. going it on their own?

Just taking this statement for itself, you feel no intensity when playing the show? I find this half-way misleading as there must be some type of scenario that may not get your adrenaline up but at least makes you anxious or sit a bit closer to the TV.

I get the anxious feeling when I have a 3-1 count handed to me and Joey Votto is at the plate in a tight situation.

I also let out an "oooooooooooooo" every now and then when I feel the CPU hung me a breaking ball and I foul it off...same when I hang one I kinda cringe.

It's more of an entertainment thing which this game provides...kinda like watching a TV show/movie.

I feel the exact opposite.

Manual fielding, definitely. I am playing the video game. I will see enough "auto" when I watch a CPU vs CPU game. Plus with assist, the CPU helps you out anyways quite a bit.

Auto fielding for me.

I make too many mistakes to enjoy the game. Pitching is hard enough as it is without me making it worse and conceding stupid runs.

Plus it means that I really have to care about who is on the roster when it comes to fielding.

Auto fielding and manual throwing all the way...always have. Better represents the ratings of the players.

I always used autofielding but this year I want to make the transition towards manual. Just having trouble right now to field fly balls, my fielder always seems to drop them.. any hints how to field them properly?

I also have Baserunning (and Fielding ofc) to Auto option. I have Throwing to just buttons without a meter. It's not about skills for me. It's about realism and having a game that relies as much as possible on individual player ratings and stats.
