Why can every SS and 3B make the jump throw perfectly?

[MoneyMan17]

Totally unrealistic! Third basemen and shortstops–first of all getting to almost every ball in the hole or down the line–and then making perfect jump throws to get my runner (sometimes 70+ speed) at first, every single time.

In real life on MOST plays like this, the fielder will set their feet and fire to first, a lot of times one-hopping the first basemen.

Anyone else noticing this?

**This is NOT a slider issue, I have adjusted them already and adjusting them even more would create a huge imbalance in other areas.

I have definitely hit some ground balls deep into the hole between short and third where the SS is running away from first base and gets to the ball and makes one of those throws.


Last night Aledmys Diaz threw out Jean Segura on such a play. With Segura's speed I found it a little unrealistic.

Yup, the fielding score at which players can pull of certain techniques is far too low. I keep seeing people like Miguel Sano pull off diving stops and powering throws like he's Manny Machado, when in real life the Twins are just happy if he stops the balls hit right at him

I can tell you that my ss (Villar) does not have the same experience. If he is running away from first, the runner always seems to be safe. He also refuses to charge balls (like it won't let me) hit by fast players.

Player ratings are too high across the board. Once a re-rate roster comes out you'll be seeing a lot more mistakes

It's definitely an issue. I've seen Jhonny Peralta for instance do some things in this game that he has no business even attempting. They need to tone down some of the infielders a wee bit for sure.

Oh, yeah, I can't pull those throws off at all. It is all the CPU controlled team doing it.

Also, I don't know if it's purposefully inflated in RTTS, but my guy can jump throw perfectly and I haven't touched his fielding training yet, so he's only like a 50 which doesn't seem realistic at all.
