1.08 Thoughts?
-
Locking on to high fly balls has improved imo. It's almost a joke actually, it locks in when you are in like a 3 m radius.
Locking onto flies with tighter angle or liners hasn't really changed. -
Fielding is worse now. Even auto fielding has diamond players making CONSTANT errors. Honestly, this whole game is [censored] now.
-
Pitching still terrible, fielding is still terrible.
-
I had Mike Trout miss two routine fly balls in the same game because he didn't lock on. The guy I was playing couldn't even believe it.
-
Man, this is some discouraging stuff ... SDS common!

It's worse for sure. I just lost two showdown moments to my fielder running back and forth over the catch circle, glitching on the animation and missing the catch. It's terrible.
Yep coming to a stop and trying to catch a popup....like riding a bull trying to hang in there sometimes....every fly ball is kind of scary honestly if it in involves any running to the ball whatsoever....horrible

I haven’t had any issues with fielding offline, like at all. I’m sure online is a different story though.
-
Fielding takes skill. Not the problem with this game.

Felt worse today.

Locking onto flies with tighter angle or liners hasn't really changed.I noticed this a couple times too. I would be a few feet away and it would go into the animation. Other times,, still issues.
I can’t tell you how many times I will run back and forth on the dot trying to get the lock on with no success. It’s ridiculous. Players won’t turn to the ball, won’t put up their gloves. Although, I do usually catch it, it’s not locking on like in years past. I haven’t had the issue with outright dropping the call others have but it’s always a question whether the guy will make the play.
Overall, it didn’t really feel any different to me today. Still way too many occasions of infielders botching routine plays. Outfielders unable to cleanly field ground balls.
Baserunning is still a joke and hitting results and feedback feel as inconsistent and RNGed as ever.

my Granderson, albeit playing in right field, had a ball hit him in the shoulder and bounce for a ground rule double. It was weird, he was going toward the ball as if her locked on but was moving too fast for the spot, so I pulled back on the stick, then he stopped, turned back to ball, and ran to the same spot and literally was hit with the ball
-
The fielding sucks. I played yesterday my outfielders and my opponents fielders would sometimes run around the ball and let it fall.

Yea so skillful to move into a white circle on the ground
-
First game of Custom Leagues after the patch, my opponent had 5 errors in the OF.
I laughed it off as a bad game for him.
A few hours ago in Custom Leagues I had 6 total errors. I no longer thought it was funny.
Examples of what happened;
-
A line drive off the bat at my OF. My fielder was immediately locked on the ball but you could see it was going over his head.
-
My OF would not move until it was passed him and did the animation where a pop play goes over his head and flails and misses it.
-
My CF went directly back into the circle to catch a fly ball but wouldn’t lock on. Missed fly ball.
-
Fly ball to the left of my LF. He went to make a running catch but it literally hit his shoulder. Replay verified it.
-
Pop up to my 1B. Immediately locked on to him and then he did the flailing animation as it landed directly behind him.
6.. Several bad easy throws.

fielding is even worse after 1.08...had a 85 ovr outfield run to the ball and stand there while ball dropped next to him and rolled all the way to the fence, but some games fielder will lock on to the ball from 15ft away. its so wierd.

Man that’s just inexcusable, SDS needs to stop messing with that, fielding was good in 2019 once they patched it up...

The fielding is no better. Sick of Trout dropping fly balls. Two today reminded me of Conseco..hitting him in the head before dropping to the ground..so much fun...
