Animation That Must Go:

[51shergie]

The Pitcher animation where he spins around after getting a strikeout must go! Geez its like the only animation they have for that!

Anyways i thought might as well make a thread where other users can state oversused or problematic animations in the game

The one where the outfielder could very easily throw the ball, but instead takes 20 steps to touch the wall, meanwhile Yadier Molina scores from 1st.

It's not as prevalent as it was 2-3 years ago but the catcher throwing the ball back to the pitcher and the motion ends mid-throw. Maybe instead have the catcher hand the ball back to the ump or stand up without the half throw. It's a little thing SDS put back in but I am glad most times you see the toss completed.

The unnecessary crow hop.

Used to be on every user controlled outfield throw. Still rears its ugly head in 18.

This is why we call him "Yadi", because that's all we get out before he zips around the bases.

When the pinch hitter is walking to the plate, looks like it was leftover from ps2 days where characters had about 2 frames of animation.

I also hate how they talk up all these new animations and the emotion, i will start to see some play out then it cuts away before it is finished so the next pitch can be thrown.

the animation of the pitcher giving the fist pump to himself after the third out of a tough inning, usually happens with men on base. Like he accomplished some fantastic feat. Not even realizing the fact he just gave up 8 runs. He should go to the dugout with his head down!
and as always, the constant classless on base celebrations

Home team player getting a double in the 1st innings and celebrating like it is the world series game 7 in the 9th innings.

I think that is the biggest issue with the animations all the games feel the same. where as the BIG celebration stuff should be used for the playoffs.
