    Hey Biggio was a very solid catcher back in his day if I remember correctly he made it to the majors as a catcher and it wasn’t until they realized what they had that they moved him out into the field so they could save his legs and boy did that decision pay off. He had a strong accurate arm and an exquisite pop time lol although the term didn’t really exist yet.

    That being said I totally agree with yall that someone who gets to play backup catcher for no other reason than the team having an extra set of gear lying around that fits them certainly shouldn’t be fielding that highly complicated and dynamic position like the reincarnation of Benito Santiago!! I threw out a player with 86 speed and a 56 in steals the other night with Carlos Delgado behind the dish lol

    That sounds like my entry into high school baseball right there. The guy who got to play because he fit into the catchers equipment.

    I think fielding in general is ridiculous in this game. Way to many diving plays, running balls down in the gaps, ricocheted line drives, jump throws, behind the back catches. My belief is that fielding is made this way to decrease the already elevated batting averages and HRs. If they made the fielding realistic everybody would be hitting well over .500. That being said it just goes to show baseball is arguably the hardest sport to replicate in a video game.

    The game use to play perfect when the main focus was franchise and RTTS. I still think MLB10 was the best franchise gameplay wise in terms of challenge from the CPU. It was a challenge to make the post season and win the World Series. My team batting average and ERA was in line with reality.

    I love playing DD but it’s very arcade style and has changed the entire game. Tom Henke probably threw 95 not 104.

    @fubar2k7

    Totally agree. I think with DD they just kept raising the ante with 125 everything and outlier pitches to the point where the game is extremely unbalanced. This results in weird gameplay as the CPU tries to reconcile inputs with extreme ratings.

    On the Tom Henke note he is a great example as I grew up watching baseball in his era and he never sniffed 103-104 mph.

    The going over 99 was suppose to be how they made players like Babe and Willie stand out above everyone else. Now some random guy gets a pinch hit homerun and he’s given a Topps Now card that’s equal to Willie Mays.

    Just had a 107mph line drive hit Max Fried in the back and I got thrown out by the catcher by about 10 steps. The very next batter hit a missile bouncer up the middle, he 360’d behind the back and caught it. I hate this

    Something I'd like to see fixed...When the CPU is up to bat...they always know when they can advance to the next base. Now yes, I've thrown out plenty of runners advancing, but they don't seem to freeze waiting to see if a ball is going to drop in front of someone like my guys do on the bases. I roped a line drive down the line the other day, and i get Freezing cause it was kind of low and the third baseman could have jumped and caught it...but he was actually going to 3rd to cover the base, not even attempting to catch it. I had runners on 2nd and 3rd and both of them retreated back to the base and dove in...my guy on second didn't even score cause it took him forever to get back up and run to third.

    Oh and the rocket line drives to first where the First baseman catches it as he's turning to tag the guy on first...that's gotta go. Probably happens once a game.

    @Dookie-Possum honestly I find them not catching them more often. Usually knocking them somewhere or not touching at all.
