I believe it was mentioned fans can catch foul balls, but nothing about home runs

I'm thinking the same code for FB catching enables HR catching too. Makes sense.

I think they would have specified foul balls and homers if that were the case though.

Can we get someone with knowledge on the subject to weigh in here?

It seems to me that it would be a bit stupid to have only the fans in foul territory be able to catch balls... I'd be willing to bet my paycheck every fan can catch any ball, home run or not. I doubt there is a separate coding for a foul ball or a home run and more so just coding for how fans react to it in general.

Here's the quote:

Quote:

The crowds in the PS3 version were comprised of about 42 different models, so you will still see some copies out there. Now, since the PS4 has much more power, the crowd is made up of over 1,000 unique models. Each crowd model is made up of the same polygon count of a baseball player in the PS3 version of the game (and they’ve even included kids into the crowd now). Crowd members will now catch foul balls and be able to reach over and grab fouls that roll by. They’ll also hold signs up, and those signs will be contextual. So if a player starts heating-up, you’ll probably see some fans rooting him on in this manner. Furthermore (this is for the Operation Sports crew) the Pitcher can now pick up the rosin bag and throw it back down.

Seems pretty clear, no mention of home runs.

I get your reasoning here, and that it doesn't say home runs... but seriously, think about it. How stupid will it look if there is an imaginary line of fans from the foul pole over who can catch. I just cannot imagine this will be the case. A ball in the stands is a ball in the stands, foul or fair.

We'll see.
