Defense is HUGE this year

[ez4u2cjaj]

I really like that they made defense matter now, The new OOP animations are realistic and could cost you a game. Even playing a guy in position or at a secondary position that have bad fielding will result in alot more errors than any other MLB the show game. Adrelton Simmons and Kevin Kiermier are going to be 2 must haves after people realize that defense is valuable this year.

Agree wholeheartedly I had Adam Duvall of the Reds playing third base, which is a secondary position for him, and I paid dearly. LOL

I've also yet to notice a transition between animations if the field. If it's there they are super fast or well hidden. I knew humanIK was going to help with this but WOW what a difference.

They are definitly there. I pulled Dee gordon out of my DD loyalty pack and put him as SS (His secoundary position) and he gets awkward animations and cant turn a DP. Same thing with Chris Davis at 3B

I could be wrong, but I don't think he was referring to the OOP animations. I think he was talking about not seeing any gap or morphing from one animation to the next. So if a player fields the ball in an odd position you don't see him "slide" to get into the starting position of the throwing animation like you might have in previous years.

Thank God we still don't have have an Upton-Myers-Kemp OF and a rotating door at SS for this game.
