I'd just say it's different. I mean, you have the power swing, contact swing and defensive swings. Going in different directions, can be done by pulling the controller that direction w/ the hit stick. So if you want to go to right, pull back and push it that way for the hit.

Oh yes, definitely seeing more variety in the hits this year. You'll be happy.

Other than a few lasers shot back up the pitchers box, I'm not having trouble getting to any balls, that I can realistically get to.

Hey Steve,

You mentioned how much you're liking pitching, which is great to hear. Are you having trouble exactly pinpointing your spots? Are you getting realistic pitch counts as a result?

steve-

not sure if u touched on this yet

your feel for double plays.....breaking them up...too easy?...too often?....do the animations look real ?........(in MVP they looked 'sped up'/not realistic)

thx!
