This game needs a complete fielding overhaul.

Offline I would maybe lower OF Error to 0 and see. That sounds like the kind of thing that might would occur as the game tries to "simulate" a misplay. Of course, that's probably not an option online.

Does sound like it could be an animation bug as well, though. Either way, I don't have a firm idea on how to eliminate it.

Here is one from a few days ago in my franchise. Nothing about the way Gray acts is realistic at all.

Unrelated but I always "love" how the players don't care about half a bat flying at them. That SS was like "yeah whatever, a twirling piece of lumber is coming at me...no big deal".

I too have no issue with the animations and I see plenty of spectacular plays. For me it is all about the double clutches on throws, the lack of urgencies, and the times that for seemingly no reason my 2nd/ss puts the ball in his pocket on a Double Play (which might be something I'm doing). The lack of urgency is just aggravating beyond words when you lose games due to players nonchalanting a ball or taking their sweet time getting off a throw you have had pre-loaded forever. Here's hoping they work on these issues for 2017.

I really hope the Sony developers are reading this thread because almost everything you guys are saying about the fielding issues is so true!!!

If the NBA 2K series would do this too.....there would be torches and pitchforks in their community and a massive outcry. The incredible animations in this game is what separates it from baseball games of yesteryear. It's not an easy "strip canned animations and go from there" Your simply telling them let's go back to the stone ages of console sports video gaming. I have played them all (baseball, football, basketball and hockey) through the years (going on 35 years of console gaming now) and give me the amazing visuals and continue to enhance more control in that arena of realism. I could not disagree with your post more than that.

Agree w this post 100%. Really not sure what some people expect...

at first i thought the new animations were a bit slow but i have learned how to move my players fluently into their next animations without delay or guys holding onto the ball. But I will say that diving animations need work as well as plays along the wall etc.

We are obviously looking for different things. I think not being able to control your player at all times is going back to the stone ages. I don't believe for a second you can't give great visuals without long drawn out animations.
