I agree with you on the check swings....it feels much more realistic and rewarding when I actually check my swing this year...in 08 it seemed like I could check swing way too much...great job SCEA...

Awesome! I played a game as Phillies and Hamels struggled in the first with his control, walking 2 and giving up a run. FFWD to the bottom of 3rd, score is still 1-0 TB, when with 2 outs and a runner on second Rollins dribbles one to Longoria who picks it and fires over Pena's head. Tie game. Next up is Werth who jacks one to right for a 3-1 lead. Utley follows with one of his own to right and a 4-1 lead. I loved seeing that error, especially because it worked in my favor but was really cool regardless. I didn't play on PS3 last yr, just the PS2 version so I don't know if those kinds of errors were in or not.

Sounds like I need to fire up the PS3 and start downloading ...

can you let me know if this is the case?

i noticed the pitch type 1-2-3-4-5, but i didint notice plam up , or palm down for location.. only saw low pitches being called for , but then when i would hit R2 i could see it was actually a high pitch he wanted.

lol...

No problem man, and please don't think I was trying to "talk down" your question because that certainly was not my intention. I didn't know about the strategy guide until someone posted it here. I knew it was there, but didn't know its why's and whatfor's.

I don't understand how you think the check swing system has been improved?

How is it realistic when some players can not do any check swings at all????????

For example Pedro Feliz in the 5 games that I have played he can not pull off a check swing at all! Please tell me how that is realistic? I was however to pull off check swings at will with Ryan Howard for some reason. For a big power hitter like Howard you would think he would be the one that could not check swing.

I guess I am alone here but I HATE the check swing system on MLB 09 The Show!!!
