@Victor_SDS did you receive other reports on the delayed catcher meter during a steal? In some online games the meter wont pop up at all i hv no idea what to do! I mean is enough loosing games to people bunting every at bat with my defenders not reacting lol now i cant even throw them out while stealing

I've seen the reports yes. How often does it happen to you? Is it only in online modes? Would you happen to have a clip?

@Victor_SDS i hv seen some people on the forum saying to reinstall the game to fix this...you think this gonna solve it? today i played a lot of games in RS neither me or my opponents could throw anybody out while stealing.
Btw i tried against the cpu and everything works fine so its happening only online!

@onnagood1 said in What Happened To Catcher's Throw Meter When Someone Steals?:

We can all agree that whenever someone tried to steal, we would all hear an audible yelling "runner" letting us know as soon as he takes off.

We would then hit the throw button before the catcher even caught the pitch to 'pre-start' the throwing meter which would automatically come up as soon as he caught it, then hit the throw button again in the green to throw it down. All of a sudden, it's not allowing me to 'pre-start' the throw. Everytime I try, my catcher just stands there holding onto the ball. It's like I have to hit the throw button now after he catches it just to get the throwing meter started.

Anybody else experiencing this problem?

After the latest patch its happening very often to me while playing online... And i can see the same for my opponents too! I see other people reporting this so at this point i dont know what to do lol reinstalling the game is going to fix it? Anyone tried?

Thanks for the reply @Victor_SDS ! I hv been playing mostly online (ranked and events) and its happening pretty much every game...during a steal let's say 8 out 10 times the meter wont pop up at all! And also if there is a runner on first base i cant even try to throw to first after the pitch...i tried to add clips on my report on the site but the size is too big! Hopefully you guys can fix this

Since I updated my catchers meter isn’t popping up on stealing runners. Usually I’d hold triangle when the pitch was on the way to the plate then release it when it got to the green. That doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Yeah same to me...hitting and pitching is the same random circus and now the last thing we needed was this smh

@Parksy3176 said in Catcher meter not showing up:

Yes I ran into that in showdown, must be a glitch

It didnt show up for you either? Its happening in RS after the patch very often and idk what to do

Hey guys! I just wanted to ask if any of you is going through this after the patch...for some reasons when my opponent is stealing the catcher meter is not showing up! This never happened to me before this year, i noticed that happening to my opponents too when i was stealing!
Im literally clicking the same way i did before so idk what to do lol even trying to throw to first after a pitch when a runner is on, the meter wont pop up!
Anyone has idea of what is going on and can help? thanks

Another thing i noticed after the patch...both for me and my opponents, when stealing the catcher meter throw is delayed for some reasons!

Is just me or for everyone else in RS after patch lefty relievers loose stamina way too fast? I tried Wagner and other lefties, and after 6-7 pitches they were already in the yellow.
Meanwhile i see Fingers and Rodney throwing over 16-17 pitches in the green!
Anyone else?

@Harrisville318 said in outfielders letting fly balls drop:

I've had it happen when the difficult catch indicator pops up on a ball that I had plenty of time to get under. Those are the only occurrences that I've experienced.

Same thing just happened to me...routine fly ball in front of Mantle and they gave me that dive circle indicator for NO reason lol Mantle didnt even move and somehow he turned into a infielder fielding the ball smh i just dont get how and why such an animation is in the game for outfielders! I try not to rage but when stuff like this happen i loose my mind

My biggest problem remain pitching! To me is never been that random...doesn't matter if i use analog or meter, a perfect input is not being rewarded!
Balls always tend to go down the middle, and again i played every mlb game and is never been that bad!
I would understand if im using pitchers with bad control, but come on now we have 95 control guys with perfect inputs and the ball goes nowhere near the spot...over and over and over!
I really hope it will be addressed because if its not after 2 months i would think SDS is fine with this and that doesn't make any sense to me...

I just had AGAIN two no lock animations whats really crazy to me is how sometimes outfielders literally dont even attempt to catch the ball...im not using bronze fielders lol im ready to catch in the circle and the ball goes over my head! I just dont get how last year all of this wasnt happening and now doesnt matter if you have Mantle or Trout....im trying to stay positive but its hard to enjoy this game at this point...

I played few event games after the patch and fielding still feel weird to me in the outfield...my opponent hit a line drive to Gallo and again he didnt react even tho i was about to catch the ball in the circle...it went over his head...we will see how it goes

Was he playing Gallo out of position? My experience is that OOP reaction time is slower, even for diamond level fielders.

No he was in RF...ball wasnt even hit hard or into the gap...it was literally in front of him

I just dont get the point of this...maybe its just me but i was hoping for something else...JD Martinez, Stanton and Suarez just to name a few! Because the season is on lock right now and live series cards wont get any boost i was hoping for this but yeah lol im ready to give up an early/okay hr to some dude who never even played in the majors yet

@LineDriveKing said in fielding is still wild:

Fielding is Broken, PERIOD! Still broken after 3 Patches.
Running is Broken, PERIOD! Still broken...the game isn't trash; however, if not patch it is Broken.
It may be fix by August just be patient...LOL

I just dont have any idea how every single time they patch it not only they cant fix the problem actually now it worse lol i hv lost the count of the times my opponent and i have lost control of the fielders and the ball went over our head....just to check i tried a game online in 19 and fielding feels so much better so again i hv no idea why now is so broken

Im about to loose it lol bases loaded one out...fly ball to Mickey Mantle im ready to throw home and for SOME REASONS the ball goes over his head! I would understand if by mistake i moved him left/right but literally i locked in but somehow the ball still went over his head smh im raging so bad after the latest patch
