Fielding flyballs should not be this hard

[underdog13]

So after getting punished for a week on over pursuing flyballs. I try not to overrun it and the game doesn't have my guy lock on.

My question is why does there need to be a huge learning curve to fielding easy flyballs? It ain't fun.

If they are going to make it more difficult than it should, please create a fielding difficulty.

Is this the Dynamic view? If not, try it and see if it’s any better. If yes, not sure what to recommend other than switch to Auto-fielding. I hear you though.

Re: Fielding flyballs should not be this hard

I played a franchise game last night after I downloaded the 1.05 patch. I didn't experience those misplays in the outfield prior to the patch.

I was experiencing the same thing with my gold glover Acuna.

My question to you is, did you download patch 1.05 & do you have catch region assist on?

Why did you stop running? If you keep running and then stop on the marker he would have made the catch with absolutely no issues. I'm not understanding why you're having issues with catching fly balls because I'm not having any problems at all before or after the patch.


But then again I saw a thread about someone talking about pitching being broken and I'm not having any of those issues either.

I slowed down thinking he would lock-in. The game has been quick to punish you if you slightly overrun the ball.

It feels as if I'm trying to land a helicopter just to get the guy into the ball circle without over extending.

Not sure what more the game wants from me here

Re: Fielding flyballs should not be this hard

Yeah it frequently isn't locking on, I had a guy have the ball bounce off his eye without him even raising a glove. It's particularly bad at the wall, like last year, but even in the middle of the outfield it seems sometimes to just not lock on.

Re: Fielding flyballs should not be this hard

Not sure if you are playing with any sliders, but the fielders out of the box are waaaaay too fast.

So, you have a guy sprinting at an unnatural speed, trying to slow down to get the lock on.

I would suggest, finding a much more realistic fielder speed, and you will be amazed at how much better the outfielders respond to your getting them to the landing area. This also allows you to set up on a fly ball, utilizing the "runner is going to tag-up target" and you can keep guys from running on your fielders with decent arms.

Lowering the speed of your outfielders will make a difference you won't believe. It will also show a much greater disparity between the speed ratings of each fielder, allowing you to be more or less aggressive on where you set your guys up on defense.

The first video it looked as though you slowed down too early and the fielder never got to the spot to catch the ball thus resulting in the miss


The video above, well that is just one of those things that happens. I haven't seen it this year, but saw it a few times last year. I just chalk it up to a fielder losing the ball in the lights or high sky.

Yeah I get that, my point is that it shouldn't be this hard to field them. I should be locked-in from further away.

Another example here of an online game, that fielder should be locked in.

I understand having it difficult to make difficult catches...but that's not what any of these are.

I don't see the difficulty this year being any different than previous years.

I haven't had any issues with a fielder becoming locked in, especially since the patch, which I've now played 10 games since it dropped.

Doesn't sound like something Rocky would say.

Re: Fielding flyballs should not be this hard

Outfielders start to lock and then stop. So frustrating. Costing me games all the time.

That and every dive is just deflect the ball.
