Insane number of Triples against?

[Getty51]

Trying to figure out if this just seems to be happening to me or if this is a game wide issue.

I have given up literally 1 triple per game or more. It doesn't matter who is in my outfield or who I am playing, the computer puts the ball against the wall in Right Center and gets a triple every single time.

I have given up two triples in one game to players like Francisco Cervelli (Pirates catcher). I can't figure out if I am just playing the ball terribly or if the game just is set up to give up too many triples.

Yeah, I see a few too many triples, too.

I don't have an issue with triples. When you field ball against the wall, are you throwing to 3rd base or the cutoff man?

No I am not seeing this.

To the Cutoff man every time.

To the Cutoff man every time.

Then I'm wondering if its how you're playing the ball. I see triples, don't get me wrong, but I know I don't average 1 a game that is both teams combined.

If you could possibly upload a video of the next triple hit against you, maybe we could get a better idea to help you out, or at least see what you're seeing.

I see a ton of triples too. I'm the Braves. Note who is #4 in the league in triples.

Yeah, it's bc the outfielders double-clutch before throwing and are slow getting to balls hit to the wall. Happens way too much IMO.

Re: Insane number of Triples against?

This year's game has become triple-friendly also because the base running speed has been adjusted (so that faster guys run faster and slower guys runs slower), and the A.I. also is more aggressive in going for an extra base.

Which ballpark are you playing in?

When the OFs get the ball against the wall, they are in no hurry to get the ball back in. To me a design flaw.

Yeah, I think this is the biggest problem. The outfielders act like they have time to make a sandwich before they decide to throw the ball. Maybe next year, they can add in a "hurried animation" for them.

This is my thinking as well, OF'ers don't get in much of a hurry to get the ball back in which is leading to more triples than what we have seen in th epast with MLBTS.


Im not sure there is too many overall happening thruout a season, as I can go several games without seeing a triple, but I have also had probably a few too many games where I have had or seen to many triples by 1 team in a game.

Re: Insane number of Triples against?

I gave up two triples in one game, both to Jose Reyes on Opening Day of my franchise. Besides that I maybe see 1 triple in a franchise week. When you can see that the ball is going to bounce off the wall, be sure the fielder stands back to where he can pick it up quickly, don't chase it all the way to the wall unless you think you have a shot at catching it. Also be sure you are always throwing to the cut off man, and not the base they are running to, unless you can tell you have a very good chance of throwing the runner out.

Or just speed up the existing animation.

Bracing against the wall is fine and realistic - just make them do it with urgency.

I'd be happy with that, not even a new animation.
