Thank goodness. A couple of days ago, I had this happen to me THREE TIMES IN ONE GAME with my RTTS right fielder.

Balls just bounced over his shoulder, or past his glove without reacting--and his Fielding and Reaction ratings were almost at 80 by this point.

And then they'd settle at the base of the wall, and I'd be running over the ball, my guy not picking it up.

But that's fixed now? I knew there was a reason this was the only sports game I still buy every year.

Since the things addressed in these patches only become a problem when they actually happen, this is all I will say for now - wall/warning track catches are still an issue. They should be difficult catches when made on the run, make no mistake - but the issue is that they don't trigger catch attempts sometimes. If the fielder's near the ball landing some kind of animation needs to play, even if it's a miss. That kind of feedback to the user is critical.

No comment on the issues that are are listed as fixed in the patch - because knock on wood, I haven't had any yet. Been trying too - doing stuff like purposely getting to balls as late as possible, feathering the stick as lightly as i could, even to walking speed - and catches have triggered on everything I've been within range of.

Just so it's out there, this CAN still happen:



Everything about the way I played this ball is wrong, at least in the context of playing a video game. It's hit so high and over Schwarber's head that I shouldn't be trying to jog back on it - after the bad jump that needs to be a full sprint to get under the ball, and it would have been were I playing seriously. Unlike some of the previous videos I've posted, this one is me doing the jog manually and not being throttled by the game - I had the option to go full speed here and didn't. Not only that, but Schwarbs isn't exactly a gold glover out there. But all that aside, I still want to at least see an animated attempt on a play like that - it goes back to what I was saying about the wall catches not triggering animations (which this actually ends up pretty close to being).

If those still happen on plays that need a light touch on the analog stick with no other option, then there's still a problem. Fortunately, I have not seen that yet and aside from the real wall-catches (ones where the landing cursor actually shows up on the wall) this is the first time out of around an hour of fly balls in practice mode that I muffed one. While trying to make it happen.

Hopefully it's better. I was starting to get really frustrated.
