For you or the CPU?

For me. Sometimes the players seem to go into slo-mo. Just had a play where the cpu had a tapper that the catcher field and the whole animation took way too much time than it should have allowing the batter to be safe. Doesn't happen often, but when it does its frustrating.

Ok. I Auto Field so I probably can't be of much assistance (picture what you described, just on every play. I am bad).

I think urgency this year is the best yet.

Now, some plays still bother me though. Like groundballs into deep short sometimes cause the fielder to go into a momentum-stopping 3-extra-step animation, giving me an EASY infield single.

But otherwise, urgency throws are the best in 13 this series has seen to date, in my opinion.

I think its just a case of not being able to stop a pre-determined animation. I wish there was a way to cancel out of it when you need to hurry a throw. It happens sometimes to me when outfielders brace themselves against the wall, it seems to take them forever to get the throw back in.

Pre-loading your throw and taking good routes to the ball are honestly the best way to avoid this (though you'll never be able to avoid it completely. It's an animation driven system). Especially the former.

I got stuck with Pedroia catching & Saltalamachia in LF for 3 extra innings. Has SCEA ever acknowledged this? Such a seemingly 'simple' flaw to fix in a great game that deals nicely with a lot of other rules to follow.

So this means it is now fixed going forward? You mean for The Show '14 I guess?

Turning off the throwing meter completely seems to solve a good chunk of the animation and throw problems, at least for me.

It doesn't fix everything, but it definitely improves things a LOT.

Yes and yes...unless it gets broken between now and then ;-)
