Uggh...that's hardly addressing the issue. Instead of wasting time on that, why not focus on something more pressing that a user can't adjust for themselves?Meaning address the poor controls/animation transition that might be leading to it. I mean, as a user I generally don't have an issue because I realized I can let it automate to a degree and the catch is made.

On a rare occassion though, the guy is there and it's like the ball doesn't recognize him. How would locking the fielder fix that. I'd hate to see the issues it could cause if the fielder doesn't "unlock" in time to recover from those other (albeit rare) quirks.

I guess it would help with the CPU issue though. I just hate using avoidance methods to "fix" issues, which is what this seems like. We'll see, I guess.

Maybe they are planning to do both: lock the fielder in place, plus fix the control/animation outfielder prob at the same time. My initial reaction was the same as yours, but I'm trying to remain optimistic, though it's not always easy. Like you said, we'll see.

Yeah...you could be right. Just have to find out once we actually see it in action. I've personally given up on the optimism though. It was starting to feel like false hope. Indifference (which was may primary feeling before release) is working much better for me.

Umm...wow. I think you'll find reasonable people will say the Show is a great game. 2K9 has potential to be great, too...but there are a lot of holes to patch up first. I play both. No need to knock one over the other. But to imply the Show is somewhat inferior, well...you've lost all credibility right there.

I have to agree heh. While i'm a 2k fanboy as much as any the show is not a worse game. I like it but it's not my style. After playing a few games i find that it truely is for the sim crowd.yea you use mostly buttons but how many options do you really have.

It's (The Show) the best baseball game ever made (Sports game for that matter) and I've played them all. I love baseball and despite what I said earlier about getting rid of it, I still have 2K9 in hopes they fix the issues. I can't see any baseball fan having that kind of attitude towards the Show, period.
Don't have it or can't play it fine.. but to say it's nothing more than a buttom pushing game is rediculous when it delivers the goods.

I'd much rather have that and realistic gameplay and atmosphere than a game that screams "Video Game Here" with all the pop up graphics. However that does appeal to some gamers and that's fine. No reason to bash one because you like another.
It is a fun game (2K9) though and that's why I'm hoping it gets polished up.
