Fielding type question

Having trouble nailing down what exactly the functionality is of button vs button accuracy fielding. They seem to work exactly the same with the meter setting turned off. You get no overhead or underfoot meters and no visual feedback at all.

With buttons and meter on you get an underfoot display with 5 arrows, I assume for throw power. I can only fill up 1 arrow with a quick tap, 3 with a normal press, and 5 with a button hold. Having 2 or 4 arrows seems impossible. Regardless, assuming more arrows means more throw power does that also decrease accuracy/increase error chance? I would assume so but I threw from short to first like 50 times just holding the button the whole way and never got any error or even a bad throw (with Xander).

With button accuracy and the meter on you get the same underfoot arrow meter as well as an overhead meter. I would assume that landing in the green sets accuracy and can basically confirm that because in the same tests with Xander and these settings every throw in the yellow pulled the first baseman off the bag. So there's certainly a downside to missing the green but i'm not sure I see a benefit considering that in button mode without the overhead meter I was unable to make an errant throw no matter how much I tried. So why would you want to risk missing the green? There has to be some benefit. Maybe on harder throws after a dive or something?

Thoughts?

For a little more "realism" ?
Fielding is pretty easy even with the button accuracy in my opinion.

I personally use Auto fielding with manual throwing, love it.
