Stolen base attempt animations - Thank you!

mars001 · 03-24-2024, 10:26 AM

I feel like I've played enough games now to confirm the improvement and to share some appreciation. In OOTP24 there was very little variation and/or uncertainty in a stolen base attempt when watching the animation play out. Seemingly the runner was either out by a mile with an absolute bullet throw from the catcher or it was a close play and the runner was safe.

In my experience, this seems to be addressed in OOTP25. Thank you! The game gets better in little ways here and there with each release.

Yes, it is much better.

Though...is it just me, or are some of the throws wonky? Seems like the ball will be way high, then suddenly snap down to where the 2B wouldn't have to be Gheorghe Mureșan to have any hope of snagging it. First time I saw that, I actually took my glasses off to clean them...

Yup, it's tougher to tell now if it'll be safe or out.

Now to just work on the change up tosses to first for infield hits and runners being thrown out trying to take extra bases on a hit to the outfield.

Looks like they redid a lot of the throws, and yes they do need to be tweaked.

History tells us they will get cleaned up, and history also tells us we may have to be patient.
