I'm loving the game (despite some comments I took at face value on steam I liked how 17 played and jumped in).

However one thing I am noticing. I even made a second file and jumped into commisioner mode to take a peek.... The 3D game engine physics seems....just really off when it comes to outfielders.

I've noticed opposition AI teams CONSTANTLY getting "highlight reel" type catches in outfield fairly consistently the entire file so far. It's Late May in my file. I constantly see balls dropping and going to the wall near my outfielders. I even went and in that second file made a new player gve him HOF outfield stats and tried it out. Just as bad if not worse. Constant balls dropping RIGHT next to the sprite who was already in vicinity from above him, them bounding to the wall for double/triples. What's more frustrating, is I have not seen a single case where a guy stretching a single to a double has caused an out for either team, 1st-3rd attempt there was no business or chance of working out, resulting in an outfield assist gunning them down. 240 arm, not the slightest whiff of that arm has shown up once. Should be gunning a guy down at 2nd/3rd/home what does it do? Throws to a cutoff man.....

Questions to Devs:
1) "Should I not consider a ball that lands near an outfielder to have landed near that outfielder's sprite?"
2) "Is there a issue with the AI not making throws to gun down ridiculously aggressive base runners?"
3) "Why does there seem very little difference in the speed of throws from a 200+ arm and a 80-90 arm fielder in a potential out?"
4) "Why is there constant plays of guys "lunging" for balls that go right through their sprite?" Not above them jumping for a line drive 10 feet up. I've started seeing the difference of the sprite actions (Like the baseball just ripped a hole through the sprite and should be on career ending DL).

5) "What mode should I use that does not have sprites and weird stuff like this happen as much?"

Thank you a ton for your time and feedback when I know you all could just have been working on fixing these issues instead of answering my nagging in my first forum post. (I found answers to almost all of my questions including personality traits via searching the forums that the Online Manual didn't) Looking at players like Matt Garza of the Brewers gives an easy answer to how Controversy works, lol.
