MLB 09 The Show Video: Dodgers @ Giants (PS3)

I LOVE the fact that it's as hard as hell to follow the pitches towards homeplate. If real batters have issues, then we should too!

It's because it is off, I don't know what he's talking about.

Well i don't follow the giants, but I catched some of their games last year. Winn, Renteria and Molina's seem to be pretty accurate in my opinion.

Check Molina's batting stance in this (SLO-MO) Video

Blzer you are WRONG! That is dead on. You need to go look at the real guy. He stands just like that.

They are all right on. I don't get people. Maybe they are looking at them from the pitcher view when they see them on TV or Live. Those are very accurate stances.

Could be, maybe the player models aren't helping me see it either. Or it could be I didn't get to see the Giants much last year and maybe he's altered it. Now I didn't say it wasn't close, I just said it was off. Winn of all players was the reason I made my post. I thought that was pretty bad, actually. Molina is close, not gonna lie. I just thought he was more off than I remember.

Again, maybe it's the player models or something, not sure. I just didn't see the stance being "SPOT ON!!!!!1"

EDIT: And that video doesn't show his stance. It shows his positioning before his stride, and nothing else. Honestly, that hurt your point more than helping it. What I mean is if you showed a regular video it would have helped more. In the game, his stance is squared toward the pitcher... already off. Bat movement is similar, but Molina in real life doesn't really go below horizontal and doesn't do that Burnitz-like bounce.

Again, I didn't say it wasn't close, nor am I saying that the "other game" does it better (in fact I don't even know if it has his stance). I'm just saying that "spot on" maybe isn't the proper term here. The simple fact that the player has an individual stance is enough for me to appreciate his stance regardless, so I'm not really disappointed either way. What I despise more than anything is seeing repeat generic stances on my team, so I'm just glad that I won't see that.

Blzer, what are you talking about? That Vid shows his stance. lol It is all good. Those stances are very good. Even Winn. That is how his stance is. And one thing Stances and follow throws are difference. Maybe that is what you are seeing. I don't think you are ever going to see a game with players real follow throws.

P.S. I know it is Follow-Through.
