I'll ask again. Are you using default sliders?

Yes of course. Anything I've said in this thread applies to default sliders. There's no real point in discussing non-default sliders.

You think the excessive amount of foul outs is due to how quick the players run to the ball? I don't, to me there is excessive hang time and wind effect blowing balls back into catchable foul ground. Especially from the 1st and 3rd area in towards home that contribute more to the issue than fast fielders. I'll give you the ones down the line in the outfield there could be some adjustment but I think hang time is part of the problem with that as well.

There are plenty of hang time issues, but arguably most all foul flies that are in play will have a lot of hang time. It is hard to get a ball "short" and "close" for players, unless they just jam themselves. This doesn't happen in foul territory far too often. Most of the time, they get it on the fat part but underneath it.

But you're right, there is a hang time issue in this game. This game still lacks bleeder singles or line drives over outfielders' heads.

I think it plays a part. I definitely agree that there is an excessive hang time issue that contributes to this problem. There is nothing I want more than for the ball physics to be improved upon.

This is the biggest thing with the game to me.

I recall Ramone stating that the outfield depth is according to balance reasons but I don't entirely agree with that. I understand his reasoning but why is the game being balanced to an incorrect situation? I still feel like the physics of the game are off...where the outfield is should dictate what type of hits occur (shallow = XBH, deep = singles, etc.).

To go off topic a bit and not to make game comparisons, Rocket League excels with physics. Regardless of how I hit the ball, geometry nearly always plays out perfectly. When I hit the ball in the show, sometimes the ball is below the barrel but I pop it up and vice versa. I know there are a lot of animations at play but still...part of the equation here.

I agree with Bobhead...I still think some tuning is in order. More Bermuda triangle singles, liners down the line, choppers, balls over the OF heads, etc.. I'd like to see it evolve to where I have to adjust my defense according to the hitter, kind of like how I must play different offenses in NBA 2K to score.
