Yea, I'm playing with directional hitting. I've played around with zone a bit before. I can see how it appeals to some people (A lot of people it seems like, actually) but it just isn't my cup of tea. I like to try to play with pitch speed at normal, but I've been playing some world series with my dad recently, and he's a pretty old dude, so I turn the pitch speed to 0 to help him cope. It makes it tough for me to go back to regular speed playing solo even just using directional. Put zone hitting on top of that and it's some of the ugliest batting you've ever seen!

Have not gotten many games in this year yet as I am waiting for some fixed up rosters due out today(unless I just stick with yesterdays as I already did my 40 man roster edits) but what is up with throwing? No matter what fielders don't throw with urgency. Noticed this last year and maybe the year before. I want to throw with urgency and gun it.

Are you preloading throws?

I always thought I was but maybe doing it wrong. I hold down the button of the base I want to throw to before I field the ball until the blue bar is full or near full.

Sounds as though you're preloading throws correctly. Not sure what else to offer to help in terms of throw urgency.

I'm not seeing any issues with throw urgency myself, but what I consider ok may not be to another.

I'm noticing quite a few instances of infielders coming to complete stops and just standing still before throwing a half-assed toss to a base. Almost like they are waiting for someone to get the bag, but someone is already there.

It's not happening all the time, so I am putting it down to another glitch/bug.

Are you guys approaching the ball or waiting for it to play you?
