Honest question....
Let's say a ball is hit in the LF-CF gap and goes to the wall for a pretty standard double, you don't think OOTP uses the range ratings of the LF and the CF to determine who gets to the ball first?
Or a lazy fly ball in between LF and CF, again you don't think they use the range ratings to determine who fields that ball?
I truly don't know that answer, but I assumed that would be the case.
Though I suppose to your point, the game could be designed to say this specific ball that was just put in play is the left fielder's ball and then only AFTER saying that it would then use the left fielder's ratings to determine the outcome of the play..... That would disappoint me if that were the case since IRL a CF's range absolutely factors in to those LF/CF and RF/CF gappers, but I guess that could be the case.
