Disappointed in Defense

[Jv160]

I'm disappointed in the defense and the lack of variety in catches. There's only your basic diving catches, basic jumping catches, robbing a hr against the wall. There's some great athletes and defense is where they showcase that.

Defense in my career feels bad, like I lack control. I'll like a sprint button and a button to take steps after a catch. If I touch the left bumper two times then I'll takes two steps. And it would be nice if the controller rumble a few times after reaching the warning track.

Catch while Sprinting

Not a fan of defenses either. It feels like the CPU can track down every ball in the gap by taking the perfect route or infielders will stretch all the way out to field balls in the hole and then throw as if it was just a step away. Now I know some will say to turn down the outfielders speed sliders but it affects my fielders WAY more than it does the CPU's. Mind you, I have fielding on auto.

I just wish this game had more balance yet more individuality, if that makes sense.

Sliders can fix almost all of that and not talking abut just speed. You realize there is a reaction slider right?

The one's that seem to bug me the most are the pitcher and catcher reaction times. To me the pitcher always has perfect reactions to bunts, but is slow to cover first or to cover home on a wild pitch. The catcher seems to always be slow to the ball on bunts/short hits. You see him stand up, then throw off his mask, and finally go after the ball. In real life it's all done in one fluid action with no delay.

Probably just being goofy. Like when Freddie Freeman of the Braves ran the bases with Kelly Johnson on a double after Johnson had been traded to the Mets earlier this year.
