Agreed.

Not to take anything away from the ball physics (they're game changing in their own right) - but it's also amazing what a difference a new camera can make. Last year it was the hitting cam, and now this year with the 'Retro Mode' fielding cam, really breaths so much new life into the game.

Is it just me do the outfields look larger than before or maybe the presentation is different ?

I was wondering if that was the retro mode fielding cam, but noticed it wasn't the retro batting cam. That's so awesome we can use the retro fielding cam without the batting cam.

Pretty sure that will be my go to fielding cam.

I am just trying to say for a very long time here at OS so many including me have complained about the plays at second being bang bang and just way to close with even above average runners when balls are hit down the line and into the corners especially right field. Do you guys not think this is even an issue? We would just like this issue to be fixed.

I think the plays at second base being too close is more due to the fielders sprinting to play the ball off the wall, wherein real life, a lot of corner outfielders will just concede the double and jog over to field the ball and throw it back into the infield.

Yes and no, I talked about it here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...tfielders.html

I think the OF is not displaying the same Humanity AI that the IF is. I think they "get to the ball" in the right amount of time, but they tend to fire the ball at the base the runner is running to rather than hitting the cutoff man.

The CPU should "concede" more doubles essentially in my opinion.
The problem is more with balls in the corner, and not balls in the gap.

But there are sliders for reaction time, fielder speed, and arm strength....
So since we are all just stating our opinions, we have the tools to fix what we think is wrong.

By no stretch is the game broken, we would just like to see it interpreted differently and for minor adjustments like these is why sliders exist.

True, but according to the stream they are still balancing stuff out, it's far from finished.

You're right, it is a WIP. If this is the same build they showed us in the gameplay stream 12 days ago, they said during that that they were still balancing the error ratio (Chris at 22:20 of this video).

Spoiler

Watch live video from SonySanDiegoStudio on www.twitch.tv

And we know Ramone is traveling with a 2 week old build.

The errors really stood out to me too (in both the stream and this video), that's why I'm clearing the air on this.

Hopefully we get confirmation if both changed to red.
