Are we going to see PCI getting replaced with a more realistic option? Something like



It would have to be more than just a visual improvement. Where the ball hits on the cursor bat would have to be reflected when actually hit.

Since this thread is more like a full on question thread I'll throw one in myself:

Will we be able to select quick counts in Live Games this year? In 14 it was only possible with a workaround and never knew if the option was just left out accidentally...

I don't know about the extent of "extensiveness," but I think this has been discussed a few times (since like 2011 when I joined the forum) in the context of inserting a brief "pause" when the screen mode switching between the bat contact and the fielding control.

The Show right now is taking an approach of automatically assisting fielders with the first couple steps so that the gamer doesn't have to control them right away. I think so long as The Show maintains the real-time presentation at real time speed, it's too difficult to force the game to control the fielder from the first step. I remember that's what Ramone mentioned back when it was discussed a couple years ago.

IIRC I think it's how 2k games use to be and some ppl preferred that approach. The reason I really can't remember.

I don't think that's a very realistic way to reflect the mechanism of hitting in real life (insert Blzer's upcoming tome on hitting and baseball game as a reference).... but, who knows, given that some people seem very adamant in that style of hitting in video baseball game, you might get your wish at some point.

I think the PCI is much more realistic way to replicate the real-life approach of hitting than cursor-based system. The cursor-based hitting becomes more like playing a shooting game, and not baseball hitting. But that's just my opinion.
