Since every Show I can ever remember playing:
The 1B covers second base on balls in the gap ALL the time. The 2B and SS both go out for the cut and all the sudden you got Big Papi or Vladdy JR straddling 2B taking the throw and nobody is covering 1B. When has this happened in real life?
You know that's done anticipating the play at 3rd right? The 1B covers 2nd in case the runner holds up and you have a chance to catch them retreating. What's he supposed to do stand on First w/ his thumb up his but?
2B or SS takes the cut, the other covers the bag. Please show me videos of 1B taking the throw at second on a close play. What’s the other middle infielder doing? Holding the other guys pocket?
I played first in college. We practiced that all the time. On a for sure double I always had to cover second. In this game perfects and cannon arms tend to mess with that programming. The fielders do what they would normally do in real life tho

I have never seen a 1B in the pros straddling 2B taking a throw from an OF or the cutoff man. Also, this happens on plays that aren’t for sure doubles all the time and sometimes I try to throw behind the runner retreating to first and nobody is there.

First baseman don’t go to second expecting a throw. They are there in case the guy tries going to third or rounds second too much for a back pick. The game has it programmed right but like there’s a lot of wonky things that don’t happen in real baseball that happen frequently in this game. But trailing the runner happens frequently when there is a double cut happening

Ok so then the wonkiness that causes him to straddle the bag and take the throw is the “little thing” that bothers me.

Hahah fair enough. I get what you’re saying. Being able to program different fielder animations for different fields would be pretty cool tho. But a ball that could be a triple at Comerica might be a close play at second off the wall at shippet

All the time.if the balls deep enough for both to go as cutoff, you dont need 1st covered but there may be a play at 2nd.

Show me video then and I’ll agree. Til then, my middle IF should be taking the throw for the play at 2B

Dan Plesac and Mark DeRosa’s awful repetitive commentary.
Yep. Especially when it's not relevant to what's going on or the pitcher that's pitching, or drones on and on into the next batter or two.

Aiming the pitch low and away, getting a perfect pitch release, and wheeeeew....hanger up and in right in their wheel house. It's getting beyond stupid at this point.
Aiming the pitch low and away/in with a breaking pitch, hitting the pitchers' spot and the opponent still crushing a 450 hit homerun.

Taking away the ability to throw a runner out at first from short right, which has effectively made the fielder mostly never cover the base on plays like a loose ball in the dirt or a throw back in from the outfield when the runner strays.
I get making the change because it happened too often but if someone like Grandal hits a ball into short RF and I throw the ball in and beat him by 10 feet to the bag but can't get an out because the fielder doesn't actually cover the base.

This and the cutoff man taking the cut throw from the wrong side of second base. Like if a ball is hit in the CF gap and the runner is going to third, you'll hit the cutoff man and he's on the first base side of second, making for a terrible angle/longer throw to third. That and the deliberate animations sometimes that slow the throw and release down on a runner you should have a good shot of getting but they make it by a mile because the throw takes so long.

The temperatures in the game never make sense. June, July, August, wherever I play, it always seems to be "parka weather". I guess it's because I always put in overcast but just because there's cloud cover in the summer doesn't automatically make it winter like temperatures.

Too many "doubles ruled a single" in moments. I understand the 'advanced on the throw' aspect but calls that are 50-50 by a real life official scorer always go against me.
-
Casually walking back to 3b when the pitcher throws out because he thinks runner on 1st is gonna steal yet he throws to 3b and hes out. That is the most annoying thing that's happened to me plus when I hit a clear double to centre field the runner casually slowed walked to 2nd only for the 1b man running over to cover second tagged him.

I’m used to god awful commentary during ball games too. Having to listen to Buck Martinez and Pat Tablet ramble on about their crappy careers during an entire inning is enough to make you want to cheer for another team.
