Diving Catches

[XxRnSxX]

What's going with diving catches this year? Seems like every attempt the ball just hits the glove and falls to the ground, I would say 9 out of 10 the dive fails, last year dives were more successful, I am not saying every attempt needs to be a pass but the success rate needs to be higher then it is currently, anyone else seeing this as well?

Yep you're totally right, ball always going off glove even when I thought my timing and positioning was correct on the dive.

I wonder if it’s a glitch or related to new fielding system.

This seems to be an ongoing problem. It's really hard. Most of the time the ball just goes right by and all the way to the wall for me.

I did make a sweet diving catch with Tyler Naquin like a week ago. It was honestly one of the first I've have ever done in a long time.

I'd say there is a problem with diving stops in the infield too, but I have made a few of those this year.

It's like the animation window for making a diving catch in the outfield is tiny.

Funny you mentioned Tyler Naquin, I played them yesterday with the braves and he made a great diving catch, the only problem was the diving catch was into the RF fan railing which made it kinda weird because IRL, if he would have attempted that catch and crashed into the wall like that, he would have been really hurt but hey I'll chalk it up to it being a video game.

Maybe its intended to be that way, that the chances of making a diving catch is suppose to be difficult, which I guess I'm fine with....not everyone can be Roberto Alomar. At least most of the time I can knock the ball down and sometimes have enough time to recover and throw to first for the out.

Yeah understood, it’s just that it happens to often.

Does it happen to often or do the damn outfielders in this game dive after too many? The CPU is diving way too often.
