I'd love to see them add or should I say tweak the physics to have where slow dribblers can change direction...(ie.. rolling foul but hit the grass area and filter back fair.. etc... )never seen that yet.

Ooo speaking of which, there hasn't been any word on redone ball-on-ground physics. Last year they turned the knob a little too low and the ball was bouncing around everywhere. I wouldn't mind so much if that's how it bounced on dirt, but on grass it's a whole different animal. They did it so that balls could get past infielders and outfielders appropriately, but it practically messed up everything else.

Of course that would mean a major overhaul. They would also have to incorporate different ball spins and what they would mean, how the ball hits off padded walls versus brick, even turf has to be different from natural grass, etc. It wouldn't be fair for me or anyone to expect too much from them, but anything we get would be a path in the right direction!

Well the colission was detected when a ball hit the pitcher, the only problem was they never got injured. It only ended in the neverending quote "And he stays in the game after that! What a gamer!" hahaha.

I wouldn't have a problem with this causing injury, but only if it is toned down. I seemed to have a pitcher get hit in the shoulder or leg by a line drive at least twice per game.

Yeah, I concur with this.

I just think more of the comebackers could be fielded cleanly. This could minimize the pitcher getting drilled too.

It's a rare thing for a pitcher to get his glove on a comebacker. I wonder if it's just me?

A big problem imo is there are not too many specific pitcher fielding animations on balls hit directly to them. I think if there are more for different types of hits, this area of the game would get cleaned up dramatically. Also, like they had batters reacting when hit with the ball last year, that still needs to be implemented for the pitcher.

I know what you mean. The pitcher gets walloped, and sort of acts unphased. Good idea with additional animations.

The power slider (also, the influence of the Default power slider) also seems to play a role in this to me. When I was using the meter on HOF (Default Power), I really can't remember ever knocking a comebacker down...let alone field it.

On AS pitching, using Classic (Default Power), I'm seeing quite a few comebackers where the pitcher actully starts the 1-3 force.

On HOF, most of those would end up as singles up the middle.

Again, this may just be me.

I know what you mean.

Nothing like seeing a line drive bounce off the face of the pitcher and he throw the runner out. And then the injury cutscene plays and you realize your pitcher has injured his arm somehow. LOL

yes that happend to Jaime Garcia in my franchise.

And here's to hoping the hockey goalie pitchers have been corrected.
