The infield diving plays are ridiculously OP. Fielding rating doesn't matter one bit, everybody is a Platinum Glover out there. Let's see who disagrees and thinks this is totally realistic and "JuSt BaSeBalL bRo".
Maybe this is the trade off from the 2B grounder freeze offs from last year?!?!

If we're talking about the CPU yah I think they broke the sliders turning them up this year. For online I think it just has to be determined by whether the player controlling them got there then the RNG dice roll to see if the ball bounces off. Wouldn't be upset if they turned up the frequency the ball bounces off lower level defenders tho.
No I was actually talking about online gameplay. Offline is whatever, I'm used to the fielders being superman. But online it's quite ridiculous and it doesn't just happen against me, my own fielders make the auto dives all the same and save so many base hits or more. It's stupidly overpowered and the frequency of these happening is way too high.
I think they need to really work on locking animations to certain levels. I feel like they do that to a point now but there are still some animations that bronze shields have no business making. I also think they need to do a better job as far as speed and fielding effecting how far a player can dive. At the moment it seems like there is just one set diving distance for all players.

Defense only seems insane because of the dives, otherwise it seems normal. I will say defense actually seems to matter more at 1B this year. I’ve noticed a ton of plays where Thomas doesn’t make a play I know a Diamond fielder would/has consistently. Still not a huge risk but it can be the difference between a hit or an out.

For me it's all the same, in BR I draft mainly offense which usually results in very average defense and they make all the plays almost all the time.

They make routine plays and will keep balls in the infield most of the time but have you played with a Diamond 1B a decent amount?

The diving plays are straight up soul crushing at times. They would be bad enough on their own but add them into a game where you already get punished for making good contact and its just that much more devastating.

No, but what does it matter? An out is an out regardless of defensive rating or defensive shield.

A ball knocked down instead of fielding it cleanly can be the difference of turning 2 or not, plus the range chasing foul pop ups can be the difference of a foul or out.

I don't think you understand, I'm saying that bronze or even common fielders make all the plays all the same when it comes to the auto dives.

My guys make these plays because my stick skills reign supreme. I know that for a fact. 100%.

They don’t though. I’ve seen many times where Thomas and Giambi don’t field it cleanly. It was a noticeable difference to me.

So my thought, would it be a good idea to display or advertise the % chances? Sort of like how they show pp averages? Bronze fielders have a 40% chance to make a diving play etc?

I think they should just tone it down altogether. Both the instances where they field it cleanly for an out or even a DP, or where they prevent it from going to the OF and potentially save a run. Both animations are almost standard whenever you hit a line drive that's not going straight to the glove.

Sure, but what does toning down mean? Because obviously the percentage chances already exist, so what are they? What percentage would it be after toning down?

Impossible to say if we don't have the actual numbers. Which we never will.

Let’s not even talk about the fact every pitcher in the game plays gold glove defense like he’s Ozzie Smith and every infielder sprints to the ball in the outfield. If you just took away those two things and the auto shift you’d see so much more hit variety

Yeah the range of the diving plays need to be scaled back, guys are diving and snagging balls 20 feet away. I laugh about it about it need to be adjusted no question

When I play against the CPU, The CPU team: guys that should make easy routine plays will sometimes boot the ball, but then players with bad fielding make the diving amazing plays.
