The fielding in this game has frustrated me to no end

[ineedsumsun]

I've stopped playing at this point, and I've only played maybe 12 games total. In those 12 games the following has happened:

- Line drives to 1B/3B, the fielders do a "duck move" and crouch down to avoid getting hit in the head while sticking their glove out. In one instance after reviewing the replay, the ball went right thru the web of the glove.

- Line drive to shortstop, the player jumps in the air as if the ball was going over his head: the ball ends up hitting him in the....well let's just hope he wears a cup.

- Double play ball to 2B, should be an easy 4-6-3....the second baseman runs to tag out the runner instead of flipping the ball to short. All runners safe, and of course a rally ensues.

- Hit and run by the CPU, grounder hit up the middle directly to the second base bag, shortstop is already at second to cover the throw....he actually turns his back and runs away from the groundball.


I don't know how many hours I've spent setting up the rosters etc for this game only to have it ruined by stupid s**t like this. This game looks great and has a ton of potential, but I've been waiting for the developers to fix the fielding for about 4 years now. Last year's game had the inevitable bobbles when infielders tried to field grounders to their left, they seemed to have fixed that but now there is a whole but of other ridiculousness going on.

I. GIVE. UP. (And I have to buy new controllers because I threw them in frustration)

I need sum sun anyway

I have literally never seen any of those and I've played this game religiously every year it's ever been out.

Ive seen these from time to time but do not get bothered by it as much. Baseball can be a frustrating and humbling sport at times. The one play that has gotten me a few times is what should be an inning ending double play hit to Cano where he underhands that ball over Jeter's head for an error. Seen it a couple of times but try to forget about it and move on.

Plus, if you location of Honolulu is true and where you are from, my gripes with the game would definitely be short lived.

The line drives to first base/third base thing happens occasionally for me. Usually the ball goes through the player's body. Kind of annoying but not too big of a deal for me.

Re: The fielding in this game has frustrated me to no end

I hate the duck-dive olé fielding where the ball goes just under the glove, but only because it NEVER happens to the computer. The CPU always manages to get a glove on it.

Otherwise (other than my seeming inability to stop getting errors with my 3rd baseman), I'm a happy camper.

I've seen the 1b/3b line drive one a few times but never the other ones. You want to lower your blood pressure and enjoy the game? Put it on auto fielding, every play the CPU team can make, your team can make.

It happens all the time in play now online. It's incredibly frustrating because you have no control over it.

Re: The fielding in this game has frustrated me to no end

The last two have happened to me. The auto-tag is unavoidable, the running the wrong way issue is because you are attempting to direct your fielder before the camera rotates around, thus your input is reversed.

I've never once seen the first two.

Same here, and I've played literally hundreds of games in recent years.

Hell, at least your fielders perform some kind of animation. Every single game I have played since release has the 3B sitting there, glove on the ground, 50 feet off the bag on line drives down the 3B line and I am not even given control to react until the ball is past all hope of reacting in time.

The only thing that really bugs me about fielding is that deep grounders to short ALWAYS seem to result in infield singles for the CPU, whereas when I hit a grounder to deep short, I'm always thrown out. I'd like to see that balanced out.

Re: The fielding in this game has frustrated me to no end

When you guys do auto-fielding, do you also have it set to auto throw? I throw manually on button acc. but sometimes when I go to preload the throw the guy just stands there. I have to hit the button again but by then its too late. Just wanted to get your guys thoughts or suggestions on that?? Or am I trying to preload the throw to early? I have had some pretty sweet animations in the field on auto, but also love to the throw the ball manually.
