I think mostly what's happens in the ootpb ai world is everything comes in batches not that far off from real life.

So you might get 3 games in a row where you see 15 diving catches or 6 wild pitches or 45 strikeouts, whatever. Just crazy stuff. Then 2 weeks goes by with nothing happening.

So end of month or end of year numbers always look right. But when you are viewing the games they appear "funny" to people.

Neither side really tells the complete story. You have appearance vs numbers.

I don't think the 3d "out of sync" helps anything. It hasn't really gotten better in 3 years. Yes the animations have improved. But the flow of the game is completely out of sync. So when playing out games, since it's out of sync, some people just get a feeling that something's off. Then see a bunch of wind pitches or something, and it's jarring. If the game play was more in sync and smoother I think the other blemishes of the random number gods would be complained about much less.

Take football manager and Motorsport manager when watching those games in 3d they are much much smoother and in sync. I think that is the number 1 problem . Once a simulation feels off then the brain notices more blemishes.

I honestly don't know how people play every game out in 3d. Its so out of sync it drives me crazy. Base runners, hits to outfield and throws never ever flow right. Sometimes it syncs but the flow is off. Usually outs the game has. But extra base hits. Flow and sync completely off.

To me that is a much bigger deal then the SS gunning the ball 1 foot away from the 2b animation.
