I very rarely complain because despite its flaws MLB the Show is always a game I enjoy but fielding is horrible and whatever they did in last patch did not fix much if anything. This MLB player tourney is putting a horrible light on it. I realize some of the defensive stuff is people not putting their fielder in the correct spot but most are just bad animations. There are line drives where you can't even move your guy because the computer locks in an animation as soon as the ball is hit and the ball goes right by the fielder. I know these things will be fixed but it seems since this was a problem last year and the devs were getting the bad animations during the dev tourney that it would not be a problem by now.

I changed my skill set and then changed it back and it seems to be working now.

Same here. He works fine in the "RTTS" games but as soon as I put him at Cather on my DD team he drops just about everything even though his defense is 99. 3B is the first position listed and C is the second.

Primary positions are based of the archetype you are choosing. Sucks I know. So since his primary is RF, all other positions are secondary...which give you a penalty to the attributes.

100% Correct!

I gave him all diamond equipment and he has common fielding at catching for a secondary it just doesn't click well. Look at Bellinger he's primary OF, But when he goes to first he has gold, Same with Soriano 99 card, Diamond in the outfielder Gold on the infield. I just feel like somethings bugged or Im doing something wrong

Even though it is listed, cap has no secondary. You might get away with it elsewhere, but currently no cap can play catcher (not even as a primary). I use him there when I play the cpu, when I need putouts to level him up, but would never play him there online. You're not doing anything wrong, and no amount of equipment or perks will make him a catcher. It's just bugged, and until SDS straightens this out there won't be a great catcher played by cap.

I have 3rd baseman with Iron man and he plays catcher fine. Never drops it and it is secondary.

I have the exact same 3B. Ironman and he plays C fine in my RTTS season in the minors. C is the 2nd position listed in his card but when on my DD team "secondary" is blank and he drops lots of pitches.
You say yours catches fine and is "secondary". Does you DD card have C listed as secondary? Or are you saying he catches fine in the minors in the RTTS season??

Yes I have the same problem. When I use my catcher from RTTS on my DD team it shows him as a 3B and there is no secondary position where catcher should be listed. He does ok on my RTTS team at catcher but on my DD team he drops every other pitch. The only way to fix it is to go back to the bronze "slick fielder" archetype. The diamond archetype has him as a 3B and catcher is listed 2nd which should make catcher his secondary position I would think.

Thank you for the update! Loving the game. I do have a "ballplayer" question though. During my minor league season it still shows SP as my secondary position even after telling them I only want to play catcher. My loadout is Diamond Iron Man which has 3B as preferred position but Cather is 2nd in the list. When I put my guy on my DD team, secondary position is blank and he still can't catch very well. He drops balls behind the plate that should be caught. I can't find a loadout that will put Catcher first without going back to the bronze "slick fielding" which defeats the purpose of leveling my guy up. Is there a work around to make C show as secondary???
Thanks.
