MLB 21 OF fielding issue/catcher issues

[nflguzzler]

Has anyone seen the following AUTO fielding issue.. this would probably change is I did my own fielding but jts a choice for me to use AUTO but there are some issues..

OF ISSUES

I have seen numerous times any position LF,CF,RF take straight lines to balls. The AI isn't smart enough to take better angles n chase balls at the right angle.

For example. The batter hit the ball in between LF and CF. It was in the dead middle of both players. So what happen, both OF players let the ball role on the grass until it hit the wall n both players ran both straight lines to get the ball.

Why are they not trying to cut it off instead of being in the Straight line animation..

I have seen the ball hit towards left field near the line . It's a rope. The left fielder could have came in towards 3rd to chase or cut the ball off, instead he runs straight to the wall and take a weird angle to grab the ball. Its like thr ball is dictating how these players move n thr ball is more powerful...

3rd example.

Phil Harper, ball is hit to him, his 1st 2,3 steps is full speed n then he jogs to take his time to grab the ball. Just by jogging its allowing the runner to get an extra base bc the animation has to quick in...

Don't get me wrong the game is made well but these things should be fixed.

CATCHER ISSUES

Why do i feel like catchers main job is to catch the ball n swing there arm n glove to make the tag. The AI is not smart enough to grab the ball n attack the base runner. So many times I have seen the ball beat the runner in plenty of time but then the catcher swings his arm Why the runner slides and he will use his left hand to go up and around you so the tag misses n he hits the plate.. these catchers need to not only grab thr ball but move there whole body to attack the runner, lets stop with the arm action crap..

Has anyone seen similar things to what I am talking about

Definitely seen the OF issues you're talking about. Trevor Story had 3 triples in one game cause of it. As a team the Rockies had 6 triples in one game. Never have I seen such awful OF play in this game on balls in the gap.

The LF or RF will not cut off the ball. Literally stops running to let it hit the wall and the CF has to grab it. By then it's an easy triple if the hitter has decent speed. Hopefully this can be patched cause it happens regularly.

I’ve seen the OFers thing when usering too — often the initial reaction jump is a poor direction so after I take control I have to make like an L-shape to correct it and the entire route is blown up from the jump. Has happened a few times. Have just assumed it was a reaction-rating thing.
