i disagree 100%.
youd know where the ball is going though if you could see it. The way they have it now, you dont know where its going until it switches to fielding view.
thats a lame excuse.

My thoughts exactly... If anyone's ever ventured into the forums of other games that use a numerical rating system, these are typical comments when ratings are released:

"Why is Kevin Durant a 95?!?!? He should be at least a 96!"

"Well if Michael Jordan is a 99, no one else should be over a 90..."

"Even though the rating system caps out at 99, Jordan is probably a 120 or something..."


At the expense of sounding hypocritical, If Dickey is a 98 or 99, what are the true ace pitchers rated? Are Verlander, Felix, and Kershaw in the 140-150 range? Because that's how much better they are than Dickey...

I'm picturing Knight foaming at the mouth reading about the number attribute discussion again.

I thought it was a running gag about Jayson Heyward's real picture not being in the game

It's not really a "lame excuse". Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think the idea is that for every split second the camera remains in the first angle (behind the pitcher or whatever), it takes away a split second at the following fielding view. Therefore, there is slightly less time to react when the camera switches to the fielding view, necessitating more CPU control so that the fielder's are moving at the crack of the bat.

You have every right to disagree but to call it a lame excuse is a little off base imo.

Using PYS as an example you can play that game with zero cpu fielding assist (by that I mean they won't move AT ALL unless you make them) and still get good jumps on a hit ball by seeing where it is going so that you can actually start moving your fielder before it even switches to fielding view. That said I do use assist when fielding but I know many that don't.

Thanks for your explanation. Here's hoping that someday they will change it though.
