I forgot the DBC '14 supermen, they mostly occurred chasing impossible catches. It really does need to be balanced. You can't just speed up the fielders (or warp them to the ball as it was back then).
Improvement needs to come from a variety of things.
The field sets available do need to be better.
Fielders chasing in (from the circle) should be better at a quick pick up and throw.
Fielders dropping a catch need to react frantically as in real life!
The keeper/bowler should react more snappily to a return ball they've just caught.
Ground shots to the outfield losing a realistic amount of velocity as they near the boundary enabling a chase (unless perfectly struck).
Air shots to a fielder in the outfield, there needs to be a better gameplay method than the drag-to-circle catch. Fine for actual reflex catches in the infield, but the point of slowing things down there is that it comes too quickly to react well in a video game, not so in the outfield.
Diving needs to be fixed, so you can actually achieve a diving outfield stop. The fielder should be able to be animated to sprint a little faster near the boundary for a few strides, dive forward, tap back and then go over the rope, not go over the rope with the ball.
I mean we're not asking for the in-out-in outfield catches that you see happening occasionally in major matches, just make all the basics a playable part of the game!
