Dropped Fly Balls

I'm seeing way too many dropped fly balls early in my time with this game. I've played about 8 games and just saw my 5th dropped fly. Three were routine plays in the OF by the cpu and the last two were a bit tougher for me. My 3B dropped one in foul territory on the move. The last one was with my LF running back but I had slowed down and he misplayed it. Got an error on every play except the one in foul territory which I disagreed with.

I know in the past seeing a dropped fly ball in this series was extremely rare and it does happen from time to time in real baseball. But this is just too much. I've seen as many dropped fly balls as I have seen booted balls by the infield. I don't know if the same error rate is being applied in all situations or not but it shouldn't be. There is no way I should have seen 5 dropped fly balls by now. Two of them were with the fielding error at 7 and three have been with it at 6. I'm dropping it back to default 5 as I don't want to see this anymore. I think it's an issue.

Re: Dropped Fly Balls

I've played about 15 games now. Only seen 1 botched catch in the outfield by Encarnacion in Deep Left Center. Maybe its just one of those things where you won't see another dropped catch for another 100 games or something lol.

If it was an issue for me i would definitely be frustrated. Dropped catches always happen at the worst time

Re: Dropped Fly Balls

It could be a freak thing but I'm inclined it may be due to me bumping up the fielding slider. I usually bumped that slider up in the past but I'm going back to default and see if it settles down.

Re: Dropped Fly Balls

You bumped up the errors slider and are complaining about seeing more errors, seriously? People have complained for years about the sliders not doing enough and now you immediately make claims of a problem because the slider did what you wanted. Perhaps this is why the developers recommend playing the game for an extended period before messing with sliders.

Well if you put the error slider up that would definitely explain the increase in errors you are seeing

I usually keep all my sliders on default cept for the wind.

Re: Dropped Fly Balls

I haven't seen a dropped fly ball yet, and I haven't touched the fielding sliders.

I've been tempted to bump errors up a little since I'm not seeing too many, but I'm hesitant. Things are streaky in this game (as in real baseball) and I did see the CPU make four errors in one game early on, so the fact that my team is fielding well at the start of my franchise might just be a good streak.

Re: Dropped Fly Balls

I pushed my fielding error slider up too, but I'm not seeing what you're seeing, Rudy. In fact, I'm seeing the exact opposite, with clean, clean baseball.
