umm ive hit 5 homers in 11 innings?!?! and im using the dodgers...i dont know if thats a good thing or not

[Trevytrev11]

Can someone get into a little detail on the hitting system? What happens when you try to pull an outside pitch or go the other way with an inside pitch? Do you feel like you have any influence on whether or not you hit the ball on the ground or in the air? Are you able to lift low pitches and hit high pitches on the ground at times or will contact on a low pitch always result in hitting the ball on the ground?

Can you tell that you now have more "room" for contact being that they expanded the # of frames available for contact?

I know you're seeing more hit variety, can you go into a little detail? Choppers, line drives, any balls hit ove OF's heads? Any hits down the lines?

How are the check swings?

How is bunting (sacraficing and bunting for hits)?

Thanks!

My honest opinion is to not let the frame rate keep you from the game. It will bother some people but the game is pretty solid. Much better out of the box than last year. One thing I see that will need to be tweaked is the amount of balls being thrown by cpu and human. But I expected that so....

I figured that it would be better after that as well. Well if you are saying do not let that issue dissuade us from buying, i'll take your word for it...
