haha, I remember those days.

I also love how for community days, instead of asking about gameplay, physics, AI etc. the boards get flooded with questions about bench players' stances and ratings.

What did I do that you do not approve of?

We know you are excited but you get redundant. Posting it numerous times does not get it done faster.

Am I the only one who is concerned about the easier hitting?

Things that stood out for me:

-Gardner's hit was great. From the way it dropped in and how it bounced to the track between the outfielders was something I didn't see very often last year.

-Team payroll seems to be a lot more accurate

-Based on Ramone's description, they've put a lot of emphasis on scouting which was one of the major issues in the Show '12 franchise mode. I'm excited to hear more on this.

I'm kind of in between, I already play on legend with pitch speed maxed out and I have no problem drawing walks and getting the CPU to throw 140+ pitches a game with ~62-68% strikes, but that's after spending significant time tweaking sliders. On legend there are far too many whiffs in the zone using timing hitting, and that's after bumping up contact a few ticks (although me bumping down timing to nerf the hitting boost might be a factor lol), and from how I interpret the info we've been given so far I'm guessing it will be easier to make contact but not necessarily easier to get hits.

I don't view it as easier hitting but balancing the system. The hitting had elements that were pretty strict and there was too much of a fine line between success and failure. Granted that is what this sport is all about but in a video game, loosing up some of the parameters can open the offense by granting the user more extra base hits on solid contact which will result in some more diversity in scores then the traditional 3-2, 1-0 2-1 games people constantly see.

When we are there we put the game through some pretty good paces and in the past difficulty has been adjusted based on group feedback. I would not worry too much.
