Am I the only one who is disgusted by the fact that they left in the animation where the fielder isn't directly on the landing spot and the ball just flies over his head? It happened on a routine fly ball to right. Fielder was a bit off the marker and the animation kicked in and it flew over his head. Why is the fielders glove not up to at least deflect it? Why didn't the animation kick in to bring the fielder closer to the spot? We have to be directly on the spot or it will fly over our head??




Same thing happened earlier with the catcher. Routine pop up behind the plate, but the catcher wasn't directly on the spot and the ball lands right next to his foot. What am I missing? Is it just me? Why wasn't this addressed at all???

Great! Thanks. I'm probably rare in that I hit from those camera views as well. I can see via the streams that you guys prefer the catcher views. I like to play (hit) from the view that you see when you watch a game on TV. More realistic to me. Thanks again for the info!

Generally I would be with you and I'm in agreement that the crowd reaction is never what triggers the catcher to know the runner is going (in real life).

That said, we're talking about a video game and I wouldn't hate it as an option as more often than not while playing video games I'm watching TV as well so I have the audio off, it would be nice to have more of a visual option than what we have now strictly as an option.

Yes I got that, but what does compatriot affect? What about salary expectation? Is it +1 across board for mental for each happy face and -1 on all mental ratings for each sad face? That is what I am wondering.

Byron Buxton needs a new head scan, looks way off. Really disappointed the #2 pick of '12 draft doesn't has his likeness. It's been mentioned already Correa is also generic looking. [emoji52]

Did you pay attention to the part where Ramone talked about the face scanning process?

That exact question was asked in the stream. The answer was no.

How many times do they need to re-explain their process for face scans? Ramone explained it again (for the 5,789,453,123th time) in the stream today. The face scan for a rookie doesn't appear until the game cycle after he gets scanned in Spring Training as a major leaguer.

For example...

Rookie debuts in 2015
Player is now part of MLBPA and is scanned in 2016 ST (if the player is cool with doing so)
Face scan for player who debuted in 2015, and was scanned in 2016, appears in MLB 17

It's not ideal, but there's no other realistic way to do it given their release deadlines and the timing of Spring Training.
