Fielding has taken a huge step back.

First off I am actually a fan of the slip n slide dives. Players actually look like they are diving on dirt and not Velcro. Now, whoever turned the success rate slider all the way up in testing for fun, needs to go back and tone it down a notch. Everyone in this game can make a diving play right now, save that stuff for the good fielders.
Speaking of good fielders. Why is the only distinction between good and bad rated fielders bad jump animations? Any fielder can be prone to weird animations, lolligagging it, and I've even had instances of the 1B not on the bag for a double play ball. That just cannot happen.
Fielder positioning is so random especially OF alignment. The Joey Gallo special is not a normal shift SDS, the data is there for you. Most shifts leave the OF in pretty normal alignment.
You've got to do better, some of these issues are deciding games.

You know you can manually adjust your fielding alignment right? And you can turn off automatic shifting?

C'mon, I enjoy Franmiel Reyes make diving catches on a regular basis.

They definitely should look at turning it down a little bit. Hitting is already bad enough without Devers making plays that would make Arenado retire.

My middle infielders (both diamond defense) have no range and they always move like they're wearing cement shoes

Yeah the only things that matter are speed and arm….given the reaction isn’t below like 70.
If the game decided it’s a seeing eye single…..it’s a seeing eye single regardless of who you have playing defense.

Yes and burn pause timer.

The lack of speed is the one thing that stopped me from taking Banks with my 2nd boss pick.

Don't worry he can dive to cover that ground easy peasy

Wait.....infielders are actually supposed to DIVE for the ball?
I've seen no such wizardry in this game.

I’ve got Matt Carpenter at second diving everywhere and I don’t believe he has botched one spectacular diving play.
I wonder if it is better to use slow players and let them dive this year?

Join the big boys and set your defensive alignment to manual. The auto shift is another crutch for the little billy bunch

There is also zerooooo urgency to turn double plays this year too or you get that awful arm wind up to throw the ball. Lost so many games on turning a double play to try and get out of the inning
-
Diving catches are OP. Bailing out bad defensive cards.

Bruh, if burning pause timer is an issue for you...you're not doing it right
-
My favourite is the ball that bounces against the wall and the outfielder crouches and waits for the ball to stop. SMFH
-
Ban the shift and make it where line drives actually fall in front of the fielder. I'm talking about 3 power pitchers who can't bloop anything. This game needs to rework the entire fielding and depth/dimensions of the outfield...
-
I think one could argue that Fielding this year has actually taken a multitude of steps forward, maybe even leaps and bounds.
