You know you can manually adjust your fielding alignment right? And you can turn off automatic shifting?
Yes and burn pause timer.
or just turn the auto shift off.

Then I have to make even more adjustments then I do now. Make sure double play is set up, OF alignment, no doubles alignment. If they set it up in a realistic manner, god forbid since it's a simulation, it wouldn't be an issue.
Let's stop cherry picking one part of the whole statement. The rest of the issues I pointed out are far more important and game breaking. The shift is just a nuisance and an eyesore.

It’s nuts that the animation of a 60 fielding guy coming out of a dive is faster to 1B than a 99 fielder coming out of a backhand grab without diving.

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.
Join the big boys and set your defensive alignment to manual. The auto shift is another crutch for the little billy bunch
If they would auto shift it for Double plays still after doing this. Yes. But it's annoying to do this for something that should be automatic. I would still want to choose shifts with noone on.

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
same with OF, they seem to lolligag to balls and then do the longest windup and exaggerated crow hop I've ever seen and it costs bases and runs...regardless of their fielding rating. The infield watches slow rollers too. Between that and hitting right now, this game is bottom tier in gameplay

they need to take auto shift off as default, let us manually set up our own situations that are standard for situations. (maybe they do) but either way auto shift off should be the default to make people at least think a little bit

That's one thing I will agree on that they should have double play shifts automatic but I still think setting that manually is better than having the shift all the time. That is just babysitting it should be a strategy not a foregone conclusion. Not to mention I don't know how many cheap doubles I get to left field when my opponent has the shift on. It hurts them just as often as it helps them but the line drive in the gap right to the shifted outfielder really gets on my nerves

ive noticed good fielders or high reaction fielders cover much more ground.. It seems instead of the first 2 steps looking like slow mo there instant full speed if they are rated high enough for the reflex perk

I love how OF's just lollygag before throwing while guys are advancing. SDS forgot there is some urgency in this game. Fielders move like the devs patching the gameplay.

Of course fielding took a step back. First step is always back.

If that’s the case, their backs are up against the wall with no room to spare.
