Fielding ability is, I think, the most subjective facet of the game, and OOTP's rigorous attempt to apply objective factors seems, at least to me, to make it easier to "game" the game, and leads to the game being less representative of the actual major league game. I remember seeing the other Giant outfielders looking toward Willie Mays so he could wave them into position, with damned good results, simply by playing where Willie told them to. Just sayin'.
True. You can train tall good defensive midfielders to be freaking whizzes at 1b. And, guys who were historically known as good fielders are not in this game.
