I've played over 60 games and have not had to dive once to catch a ball. I'ts the only thing I dont like about this years game. Anyone else seeing that they don't have to dive for balls this year in the outfield? I even turned fielder speed down a notch.

This has been a common theme with outfield play in The Show.

The automatic dive catch animations coupled with the "suck you in" ani's seem to be the culprit.

I think it will take a major change for this to become a major focal point in the gameplay. But just know you're not alone in wanting this to happen...

Bothers me too. Fielding in general is underwhelming.

doesnt bother me to much
I just had 1 the other day with Ichiro. had to dive into foul territory. it was sweet

Well, I turned fielder speed down to 2 to see if it helps.

honestly how many diving catches are there though in an average game? maybe 1. I will say going 60 games with non is not realistic but there shouldnt be one every game

I love to dive for no reason. In one game with MLB 10 I tried diving and jumping for absolutely no reasons at wrong times, and the highlight reel for that game was hilarious with all those players doing their dive thing with slooow motion... haha.

I guess I'm too bored or have too much time.

Seriously, I haven't actually tried this myself, but can you *intentionally* have a bad jump on a regular fly ball, and try to catch it by diving? I wonder if this works or not.

The problem with diving I find is that you have to be so perfectly timed and aligned to succeed. I find with dives there is NO suction assistance at all. Does make it extremely rewarding to actually get one though. I generally mess up on my dives on ground balls I mis judge the speed and dive way too early. It either goes behind me or hits me in the ribs lol
