I'm Getting Annoyed

I understand that my pitchers fielding in RTTS shouldn't be anywhere near Maddux during my rookie season, but just because my player is a rookie shouldn't make him forget how to catch a bunt pop up, or stop like he hit a wall when going for a chopper or bunt down the line, and it damn sure shouldn't make my player not do a ****ing thing when the ball is hit back up the middle. If you want to punish players for not having high fielding ratings than have them knock the ball down instead of fielding it clean, but don't set the game up to cheat, thats just Maddenish.

Hmm, don't want to sound like a smart @** but why don't you work on putting points towards fielding attributes.

ive had this happen once. i was running to catch a short popup and my pitcher stopped in his tracks and i couldnt move him at all, then the ball dropped in for a hit. i dont know if its a glitch or if its my bad fielding rating (F), but the motion of my player stopping on the spot just didnt look right.
its not a big deal to me since its only happened once but i will be adding some points to my fielding skills when i can. i hope that works.

A similar thing happened to me but it was with Mariano Rivera in a franchise game during spring training. A guy bunted up into the air. I ran towards the circle with Rivera and for some reason he decides to put his glove down low like he is fielding a ground ball while the ball is still in the air. The ball lands right in front of him so he picks it up and proceeds to side arm throw it 10 feet over Teixeira at first. I can laugh at it now but at the time I was dumbfounded. LOL.
