I can confirm that the defender not reaching for the ball happens offline as well. I am strictly offline franchise and there are literally 1-2 instances every game where my fielder will not reach for the ball on medium difficulty grounders or line drives*

The point about players not leaving the bag during a rundown because they won't leave the base uncovered is an even worse problem on short pop ups into the OF, especially ones that should be caught by the 3B. He will completely ignore the ball to run over to the bag, sometimes a longer distance than getting to the ball itself.

My brother-in-law asked me last night if he should buy it, I told him to hold off until we see resolution to these issues. Having said that, I’m playing ‘20 on a non-patched PS4 that’s not connected to the internet and haven’t seen fielding issue. It’s not perfect but it’s a whole lot better than the patched version.

Yeah the line drives is shown at various points, thanks for the info about the grounders as well.

Good to know, and at least it fits in with the logic I was going with there.

Yeah I think that's a good path to take on this one.

Infielder not reaching for the ball is definitely an offline issue as well. It has happened to me over 10 times already. It's sooooo annoying

[tabarnes19_SDS]

Yes groundballs and running right by them is awful offline. I still think there is an issue with animations triggering which force you into the non catch animation.

Also there are times you get to the catch indicator and ball hits player in head. I am at the end.of June in my franchise and have the worst fielding percentage in baseball because of it.

I use auto fielding and do not see many of these issues but this is very well written and thought out. Hopefully SDS can continue to improve fielding, especially for manual fielders.
