Help with Fly Balls

[japowery]

Anybody else still struggling with flyballs in the outfield? I'm an experienced player (HOF difficulty all around), but going a full nine innings without having a booted ball in the outfield has still eluded me. Even when I come to rest completely under the ball, all too often the ball drops in cleanly or bounces off my player's head. I've even gone so far as to turn the Outfield Error slider to zero, with negligible results. Has anyone else struggled on the defensive side? Do you have any suggestions for me?

I've found that for balls that you can settle under, you need to let the CPU take over. Get your guy to the spot and let the stick go. Balls on the run take care of themselves in my experience.

Always. I've never played an iteration of this series where outfield errors weren't 600-800% exaggerated. Not uncommon for all-star outfielders to have as many errors in one month of franchise as they would have in a full season. Usually they just come up empty after standing under it, but sometimes they don't even react at all and the ball just hits them.

After you settle under the ball try to avoid any last second corrections.

Between the lackadaisical urgency, terrible non tags applied, and dropped balls, fielding in this game is pretty terrible.

It feels so wonky and not smooth whatsoever.

Never had an issue with dropped fly balls, though I don't play on HOF. Non tags applied on the other hand...

I have the same problem sometimes, but it's not as bad as last year. Last year I would be in the ball marker ready to catch a fly ball and the marker would move at the last second and the fielder would do a stupid falling over animation and miss it.

I am not digging can of corn fly ball drops at all this year.
