Animations that need to go
-
-
The “oops it bounced over my head” right at the first basemen. Have a good fielding guy there? Never mind. It’s right at him but he can’t make the play and it is scored a hit.
-
The “olay I guess I’ll let that one by” at third base or occasionally second.
-
The “I’m in little league and they just taught us fielding on the backhand”. Your fielder has a gold or better shield but he can’t move his feet to get in front of the ball and knock it down.
I guess if the dice roll says the outcome is a hit, then we see these types of animations, but there HAS to be a better way. No self respecting major leaguer would do any of these.

The infielder slow trot to a lazy flyball and then it's like he's running in quicksand so the ball just drops...
Oh yeah they supposedly fixed this, but clearly didn't.
-
The rocket up the middle that takes out the pitcher's feet, but some how his glove teleports to his feet and he fields it.

I accept with grace the animations that afflict my fielders leading to errors and hits, but the only animations that really drive me around the bend are the ones where the opponent is slow-jogging to my screaming gapped line drive and and manages to get there right at the sink to catch it. No sense of urgency on a ball that I belted to the gap. That one bugs me. Add to this that I saw an opposition CPU fielder (name rhymes with 'stout') actually teleport from centre field to the gap to make a catch, which I think is actually something he can do because he's on my team as well and he can do no wrong for me so far.

Soto shuffle on a ball. I just want to bean him when he’s at the plate, except I’m worried that it will miss and be called a ball and he’d do it all over again.
