Ridiculously hard to make diving stops at the corners

[NGBags11]

Is it just me or is it a lot harder in 12 to make a diving stop at 1st or 3rd? I've been playing for weeks now, and I seriously don't think I've had a diving play yet. And when I say diving play, I don't mean a highlight reel play MADE, I mean I don't think they have dived for a ball AT ALL in fair terretory going towards line line.

By the time the camera switches to the fielders, Wright or Ike are already in that horribly frustrating "oh darn the ball got past me animation" and the game won't even let me ATTEMPT a dive.

Is it just me? Is there a settings fix I'm overlooking? Please help or share your frustrations - I know I can't be the only one who hates it when they go in that animation after every ball gets hit down the line.

Same here also. They don't even attempt to dive just that dumb animation like you said. The computer makes plenty of diving attempts though. Oh well. annoying but not too bad I guess. Not just you because I get it a lot also.

I mean honestly.. The animation was there in all the previous games.. And that's fine you can't get them all.. But I don't get what the problem is this year, it happens every time!

[Jamake1005]

Agree. Played couple more games today and I swear I get that animation every single time. I don't know what the deal is this year either smh.

I'm not made a diving stop at any position yet this year. I don't know if my reacts to liners are that bad this year or if the liners seem much faster. I've attempted dives but just not quick enough.

I don't think I've ever successfully made a dive for any ball in play. I guess I'm just too used to MVP Baseball 2005, you could stop anything, haha

Same here also.

I player around 30 games so far and have made 2 diving catch. One second baseman and one by third. I do feel it is harder to do a diving catch compare to the show 11. But then again.... I remembered I had to give it a few trys before become somewhat profession at it in the show 11 as well...
