Pulling back on the right stick will play a check swing if you previously committed to a power swing or contact swing." It may be via patch, but at least they listened to the community and are fixing their error.

It is great that they are going to fix it. What is frightening to me is they actually planned on doing with out it in the first place.

That's good news. Now here's to hoping that they will do it in "pull-back" form with the analog stick, and not triggered by... well... the trigger (like it has in years past).

By the way, I don't know if most people would consider it a small gripe or whatever but for me it's huge... numbers are way over-sized. I know we saw this in earlier screenshots, but just to see it with this pitcher's view is just terrible. I don't know what it takes to shrink them, but that's gotta happen next year if possible.

And then a Giants nitpick: unless Pablo changed his stance during the off-season, it already looks pretty far off. Thank goodness for stance editing.

EDIT: Damn, this is one epic insight! Makes me kind of

With regards to the pitching in a two player game, I would assume the highlighted pitch would not show up on screen showing how to perform the pitch correct? I guess you would just have to remember the motions?

The insight said the check swings will be in pull-back form. It's kinda crazy they're mentioning a patch already, but I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Yea, the number on the back of the Phillies' jersey is huge.

Good read. Gotta tip my hat to 2K for listening to the community and adding check swings back in.

Overall, I'm quite optimistic at this point. Sounds like it's going to be a good game this year.

Yeah, I mentioned that in another thread. The numbers are too big and it would be nice to have authentic lettering on the jerseys.

Oh haha, guess I only read the bold.

Are the Phillies numbers on the jerseys really that big? Kinda nitpicking a bit LOL.
