This fielding is still very broken

The animations make no sense. Fielders still run past grounders. My outfielders fail to lock onto balls routinely. Some outright just drop them if you move even a hair while within the zone of catch. I had a moment where I was pitching with a runner on third . . The guy had been bunt cheesing all game. He couldn't hit anything so he just laid down bunt after bunt. I bring in D for the bunt. He bunts right back to pitcher. I proceed to throw home. And the pitcher enters the "tap ball 3 times in glove" animation before lobbing the ball home. Runner of course is safe. Can't do anything but laugh. Game can really Be a mess at times

Yeah it still needs patching big time... The thing that drives me crazy is not being able to dive and make a play, this wasn't an issue in other versions so I"m wondering how that took a step back... I literally have NEVER fielded one ground ball while diving, it just bounces off me like I"m a backstop ...

I've had over-run issues in CPU modes (Showdown and Conquest) in addition to a few in DD. Also, had SS field a ball, have it pop out, he walks away, and VOILA the ball magnetically goes to him.
5th inning Conquest examples here:
Does seem to need a patch of some kind.
Still won these two games, but you lose any sense of immersion when the animations go wonky...

Dude what are you talking about?, those are baseball plays...mistakes happen, guys bobble the ball, getting your body in front of the ball and knocking it down is a part of baseball....you guys are incredible sometimes. Have you played baseball in real life?.....that first video with the screaming liner at the outfielder and him missing it?....that stuff happens all the time. You guys really need to get RBI Baseball or Super Mega Baseball if you want to play arcade games.

First one I agree is a normal play. Second one is glitch. This isn't about crying over not fielding every ball or making every throw. Fielders running past slow rolling grounders because the animation fails to trigger is a problem. Failing to lock on for a routine fly ball is a problem. Innapropriate situational animations (like when you cue up a throw on relay and fielder lazily takes relay and performs slowest animation possible, resulting in runner be safe on advance) are a problem. These take the realism out if the game, and just make you focus on its flaws. It's a good game, but the fielding and pitching have glaring issues
-
I agree that the bunt defense and throw urgency is a bit of a problem but I legitimately don’t think I’ve had an outfielder not lock on to a ball in 2 months. Maybe I’m lucky but they seemed to fix that the last time they patched fielding
-
Fielding has no balance you hard see mistake with button accuracy during exchanges slow OF running down 98mph line drives but I guess that's baseball and I hardly see the red indicator show up on close plays ball just drops into the glove
Has anyone robbed a hr ?
-
I've robbed about 5 home runs. Actually not that hard although it's kinda weird cause occasionally you have to slow walk to the spot
-
agree this is by far the worse show game yet , pitch accuracy horrible , outfield play disastrous , base running disgusting

You're a shill if you're justifying the play at short with the "magic ball". Take another look, you will see the ball a couple of feet behind him.
Also, it isn't whether I would make the play. I played ball through high school, so I know stuff happens. This particular drive was not smoked (IMO), it bounced well in front of a Major Leaguer. I think that the play is made in MLB 99.5% on that play... With that being said, you can beg to differ.
Also, I'm not really "complaining", heck, both issues were to my benefit. I'm merely illustrating that I'm seeing more "hiccups" than earlier in the year with this game.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your perspective.

YES, I've only stuck about 1-2 or two dives with what felt like more luck than anything. Diamond fielders like Chapman and Ozzie
