that can be fixed by slowing down the fielders, so they don't get the ball so quick, and speeding up the baserunners. Iy can also be limited by reducing AI base running aggression. I'd like to see the rocket arms reduced a bit, but the issue is way over blown. It's more cosmetic, as I'm not finding it really affecting the games as much as I would have assumed.

we wouldn't have put so much time and effort into it if it wasn't an issue.

The real issue though was with the entire fielding attributes. that's been fixed though sans Tomba

So it's not an issue because there are ways to make it less of an issue? Sounds to me like it's an issue. I have adjusted the sliders, and I agree that in game it doesn't effect gameplay...but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed in the patch.

Also, adjusting sliders does nothing for stat generation. So in Franchise mode, every other team will have the insane numbers but you won't (if you play every game). While I realize some people don't play Franchise, and more-so might not even care about realistic stats at seasons end...but there are people that do.

So you agree with me that in-game it's a non issue. I don't know how the stat engine works. If assists are broken with regards to that then they need to fix the stat engine. I haven't really tracked that.

All I'm saying is that the real issue is fielder speed. Once you bump it down to around 25 I see guys getting doubles and triples, scoring easily from 2nd on singles, etc. That to me means no gameplay issue with rocket arms. I'm not sure how other guys are judging the arm issue but that's how I look at it. In fact, the only thing they need to change is the accuracy of the arms imo.

I still think it's a problem and that it needs to be fixed, but with tweaks you can make it not effect gameplay like it does at default settings yes. Fielder speed is definitely a problem, and lowering it will alleviate the arm issue, I had it at 35 for a while and actually recently dumped it down to 20 and have been pretty happy with it. Arm accuracy is absolutely ridiculous...especially for catchers and OF's.

Stat generation is quite broken in regards to multiple things, but the rocket arms became apparent with OF assist numbers. I found quite a few anomalies when I messed around with it, makes me wonder if anyone at 2k bothered to sim a season or compare stats to real life numbers at all.
