Its not that I don't like the animation, it looks fine. It just happens way too often and on plays where there is no need to bare hand the ball. On close plays where the 2B is close to the bag, absolutely it happens in MLB games. But you see it in the game where a pitcher is hitting. I don't want it taken out at all, I just want its frequency to reflect something a bit more realistic.

Its like the push foul animation the OUSOONERS posted about. Its not that the animation is bad, it just happens much too often to look close to realistic in those cases.

I hope the animation where the third baseman n first baseman try make the ball stay foul n they swipe at it with there gloves is gone that animation looks downright ugly n is not very realistic.

It is still in the game and it will be there to mock you all season long.

Using n as the word and is less realistic than that animation.

If a ball is foul and close to the line....they do that quite often in fact.

The pitchers do it too often in the game as they do it sometimes when the ball is already well past them or over their head. It looked plausible for the Pagan hit, but it isn't for a lot of other balls hit. But if the balls of the pitcher is way way less than last year that is good enough.

There is no ball clipping through the pitcher, that would be a horrible fix to combat pitchers getting hit. As I mentioned in another thread the hitting has taken away a lot of the up the middle play. Balls are getting pulled to either side of the field more frequently. You will still see hits up the middle as you should.

I'd have to disagree with that. They may come over and touch the ball with their bare hand or attempt to field it with their glove, but that animation is terrible and it happens way too often. How often to players really try to knock the ball into the dugout with their glove? I honestly can't recall that happening in a game. All they need to do is touch it. I see it typically with their barehand though, but its much more casually than whats in the game now.

Poor Russell has to keep repeating himself over & over with every interview ;-)

Maybe they could just change it to this animation
