In The Show, you influence your swing with the right stick prior to the pitch. Even if you aim down to make contact, you still have an uppercut influence. And he's right... it's rare that you get a fly ball out of it.

The list looks great to me, particularly this:

There has also been plenty of pitches I have swung over or under as well.

Que?

Maybe I jumped in the wrong part of the conversation. Back up.

There was nothing that really cought my eye and got me excited, just a bunch of simplifying for easy "pick up and play", not necesarily what I wanted. I like depth and having something to set my skills apart from somone else. Still not enough information to make any assumtions though. It will get a purchase wether good or not by default.

Things like this just plain confuse me. If it is not good, then why reward them with a sale?

Yep. The Shows zone hitting is not really zone hitting.

True. What I'm saying is about 2K9. If it does have influence then hopefully it's done right.
