Would you guys be ok with this?

Bad hops in a game . A routine ground ball all of a sudden takes a bad hop and bounces over the shortstop. You know like real baseball.
Or a little blooper bounces away from the outfielder or just kinda dies in the grass . -
They've already got these. Few and far between...but they're there

@Sarge1387_PSN really? I didn't notice , I've seen the shortstop miss on an extremely hard grounder but not a routine grounder.
Also the bloopers don't die in the outfield grass like in real life , thet more tend to bounce over the fielders. Maybe I'm smoking something cause I don't really see it . -

No, it is not alright with me. Don't do it.

@jaychvz_XBL, I think that would be a great start; particularly the bloopers that die in the grass. I really haven't seen bad hops either... fielders get "eaten up" occasionally on hard hit balls, but I would welcome the rare bad hop vs. a 99 fielder randomly misplaying an easy grounder. I would think that would be a more scripted outcome, though, that would take the ball's path out of the realm of the game's physics models and put it squarely into the pre-determined outcome unless, maybe, it hit the lip of the grass where it meets the dirt... but then we're probably overcomplicating the physics models.
Would love to see gravity and the weight of the baseball made a little more realistic, though... way too many balls that "carry" all the way to the outfielders instead of dropping in, and far too many balls that bounce over the wall for ground-rule doubles.

Swinging the pendulum back a bit where this is concerned would be the single, greatest improvement to this game. More unique outcomes, fewer HRs. It's as simple as that.

They will never go back to full simulation baseball like The Show 12, nor should they, from a business standpoint; however, they have definitely gone too far in the arcade direction.
