So, uh, I was looking at some film from my recent game, seems that I have encountered several problems with PCI placement and fielding! At this point, I don't care because it isn't getting fixed, but jeez the evidence is here, and I think it is cold hard evidence that the game is screwing people for the most stupidest reasons. Probably because we need to cater to casual players that need to win so lets give them a standing chance (AT 500-600 level rating in RS)

First, PCI placement:
Take a look at these two images:
Eddie Matthews HR: https://gyazo.com/b231cbf1e4c0ab317ebcb52e749a7813 / https://gyazo.com/13af83d7af4fbd57f0770a23f18170f0

-The PCI was above the ball, not by a ton, but where the feedback shows where the ball is. doesn't make a ton of sense. The ball was above the top line (where a perfect flyball goes) and slightly right of the center circle. Not by a ton, but not to the extent of where the ball was actually hit. The ball was higher than the PCI therefore, the feedback should show the ball higher, no?

Reggie Jackson Lineout RF: https://gyazo.com/afcc19ae210a98d04dabab022f1d2f99 / https://gyazo.com/5d4ed64bb3e187f6c07f9efdd061a1b0

-The PCI is slightly off from where the ball was actually hit and where the PCI was in the game itself. Furthermore, the ball thrown was a straight 4 seam fastball, the thing is not moving like a cutter, so the placement on the feedback is slightly off, and the game registers that instead of where the ball was, top circle middle PCI, which would be a "Perfect Perfect".

Synopsis:
Maybe I am completely wrong about hitting, and this is supposed to happen, just doesn't seem correct to me. I may also be looking at the images wrong or there isn't enough to prove anything. But the two balls hit here are shown in nearly the same spot in the PCI. Jackson's ball was pretty much in the middle of the PCI and was shown slightly off the middle and lower than where it was hit in game. Again, I may be wrong.

HOLY FIELDING!

• THAT IS RICKY HENDERSON IN CENTER. I am defending my opponent here, he was camping under it, and Henderson with, uh Diamond Fielding, and as routine as it gets, shouldn't have literally whiffed on this ball. Even I could make that play and I don't play center field. This was absolute SDSBS, and just [censored] this guy over.

• Okay WHAT? How the hell does the first baseman not make the play???? It landed 2 feet behind him! The fielding decided that it would lock as his right fielder, WHO HAS NO BUSINESS FIELDING A BALL THE SHALLOW, and the first baseman easily should make the play. However he looks like a complete idiot and keeps running like "AHHNH AHHH PROBLEM!!!". This happens more times than you think! To me, to my opponent, it doesn't matter. The first baseman or second baseman easily make a play on a weak pop up into shallow right field (that is if they are decent). However, the game decided that the best player to field the ball is the RIGHT FIELDER, who is playing out near the wall.

SDS please at least fix the fielding annimations, they really suck right now and really screw over people in very important games. The game should have been 3-1 or even 2-1 but the game messed up and screwed over my opponent, making him rage. It wasn't a fair win and I feel bad that it happened to him because I literally hate that.

I think that the hitting for both circumstances is reasonable. You can still hit a high fly ball with eddie and it can still be a home run, don't see anything wrong with it. It was good timing, not perfect timing, so you can still be early on the ball and pull it hard for a homer, nothing wrong with that
The lineout with reggie also seems understandable too. You almost got a perfect perfect, key word almost. You can see the ball sticking out a bit and I can totally see why thats not a perfect perfect.
In real life sometimes you see homers that are like, how in the hell do you turn on that, or even hit that out, like off the end of the bat. Eddie was probably a screamer line drive that went over the right field wall. Reggie, although unfortunate, you do see balls that are clobbered, but they somehow find a glove. I know that its a video game and that you want it to be perfect, but I do understand why you're getting frustrated. However, I do think that both hits were plausible in both real life and for the game.
I'm really too lazy to look at your fielding pictures, but if you don't have at least silver fielding theres going to be a problem.
Never mind, I decided to look at both.
1)Sorry for being technical but ricky has gold fielding. And I'm pretty sure he's in his secondary. Even though he has 99 speed (I think) he plays left field, garbage animation, totally agree.
But for your first baseman, that is a hit. Your first baseman isn't Willie mays, he's not the fastest, doesn't have the best glove. BS hit, I agree but sometimes in real life there are BS basehits. But that ball should've dropped, if your guy would've caught it, he is an absolute legend.

This guy is the reason fielding won’t change lmao. These are professional athletes. It doesn’t happen this often in real life. Lmao come on man.

Update it just happens again

@SHOW_TIME_ryan said in Players still not locking onto the ball:

“Cost me a game”.....yet we still have players attacking others with “you lost to a better player” whenever these issues are brought forward. Seriously, how can they be so in denial that this game sucks?

I lost 3-2, the play where he didn’t lock on to the ball let in a run. But he also hit 2 solo homeruns. Players could argue if I didn’t let up 2 solos then I should have won but it’s whatever. I just want a game I love to be fixed. If pitch speeds are going to be absurd at least don’t have these crazy errors happening.

I saw in the patch notes they fixed this issue, which I’ve only seen once before. Today I’ve seen it twice, which cost me a game and a couple of my buddies have sent me videos of their players not locking onto a ball and just letting it roll right past them or drop right beside them. Is anyone else having this issue?

Made it to 897 played a guy that was 1020 lost by two then lose 2 more down to 830 back up to 880 just to lose to 790 back up to 875 just to lose again, I usually make WS this was very frustrating. The hitting on HOF just isn’t fun.

Thanks for the info gents

Thanks man

When does this current season end?
