Re: do you play defense or have the computer do it??

I do auto field manual throw. I’d do manual fielding but I’ve had a problem in baseball games for as long as I can remember where on a hard hit ball between the SS and 3b I’ll think I have control of the 3b and react to the right when in reality I have the SS so I take him away from the ball in error

I have used AUTO FIELD with MANUAL THROW for years and absolutely love it

I can let my fielders make the plays without worrying about the stupid occurrences where you butcher a play on manual, plus ratings matter and I can just focus on preloading my throws

Re: do you play defense or have the computer do it??

I am all auto. I have been begging the dev team forever to let this be a feature for online but nothing yet. I have watched pretty much every sony partner on youtube and see them complain about the fielding is getting out of control.

if they were able to use auto fielding I think they would have a much better outcome in their efforts.

I haven't used even assisted fielding since ASB 05. I love not having to have any missteps be to blame for a runner getting on, advancing, or even scoring a run that shouldn't have.

I play defense because sometimes the given routes to a ball aren't always the best, I know they had a button you could use to catch a ball yourself even (L1, I think) it doesn't do anything anymore during manual fielding so maybe it can be used again to alleviate some of the animations like lunging for the ball when you clearly are nowhere near by allowing a baserunner to advance.

I do auto field and throw. I suck so I let the CPU do it for me. I just hit and pitch.

Auto field manual throw. It’s the only way to go and like many have said it makes the ratings matter.

I wish there was an option between auto and manual where it’s auto but with the option to take over manually mid play. I need a way to stop the unnecessary dives that turn singles in to triples
