The hit variety in the Show has improved tremendously but there were some hit types that were in MVP that are absent from the Show.

I never hit a single blooper in any version of MVP or The Show.

Hitter's Eye was pure genius! Trying to "read" the pitch out the pitcher's hand was the best. The different colors for the different pitches was sweet. Why can't we have that again?

But I do LOVE THIS game!

I dont know man, The Show is pretty line drive happy itself and i dont know if I have seen a true high chopper yet. Also, in the show all my bloopers are from jam shots that go to opposite field...I have nevers seen a pulled bloop hit.

Never knew why so many people loved this feature? Basically a feature that tipped the batter to the cpu's pitch.

On another note hope all is well Townie!

It was supposed to simulate a hitter reading the seams of the ball (which happens in real life). I thought it was a good attempt but it just didn't quite cut it.

I definitely agree with you, there are way, way too many line drives in The Show but overall I feel the hit variety is better. There are a more realistic number of weak grounders and IF hits in MLB '09.

I know what it was supposed to do but it seemed like a crutch to me. A batter cannot read ever single pitch.
