Please fix this horrible fielding!
-
The latest buffoonery...a bunt towards 3rd right in front of the plate. 3rd baseman and catcher both race to the ball but I am only allowed to control the pitcher. Can't change to 3B or C, game won't allow it. 3B and C just stand next to the ball and look at it while I have to bring the pitcher all the way over to pick it up. The AI of the fielding is horrible. This engine blows. The fielders are stiff as boards, I have to circle balls in the outfield 3 times for the fielder to pick up the ball when it is still. Balls right behind first in foul territory I can't use the 1B, I have to use the RF who was shifted towards center. Do the developers play the game? This fielding is ok to them? Why can't I use the fielder I want, and also the one who is the logical fielder to use?
Please fix this or blow it up and try something new next year please. Fielding was its best in 2007-2009 on PS3, why is it so much worse now? Can you copy and paste that code into this years game?
Also, people complain about how good the computer fielding is. I don't mind that, but what I do mind is the same players aren't capable of making those same plays for me. They react way to slow, by the time I'm allowed to control the infielder the ball is already right up on him usually unless it is a very slow hit. Please let us control the fielders, as the game is very linear in the field. More open world with the fielding please!
