Three Things MVP 05 Still Does Better

Same if you hit a weak ground ball. In The Show you can never tell how good you hit the ball until the animation kicks in. A homerun "feels" no different then a ground ball back to the pitcher in The Show. They just haven't been able to recreate that feel.

Ummm, I seriously have no idea what you are talking about.

THere are many homeruns in REAL LIFE that you do not know are automatically gone after it is hit. Then there are some that are hit and you know for sure it's outta here. The SHow recreates this wonderfully IMO.

Sure when your sitting in you living room watching a game and a player hits the ball you don't know how well they hit the ball, but I guarantee you the player knows immediately how well he hit that pitch, thats the "feeling" MVP had, The Show just doesn't have it.

I just disagree.

When I nail a pitch, just nail it, I know it, it feels great. I don't know what you mean that you can't feel it cuz I can whether it a screaming liner, or a dribbler that I barely got bat on. . .

As jpup so brilliantly put it, thats just my opinion.

Sometimes I'll get a pitch belt high and I'll swing thinking, ok I nailed it, and it ends up a dribbler to short. Next time, same thing and its a homerun, I honestly can't tell the difference, not all the time, mind you but a lot.

I've got about forty games in, maybe with some more games under my belt I'll feel the way you do.

Man, are people playing the same game(s). This gets nowhere. Let's continue it, like jpup said, over on the 2k forums and I bet it's the same argument, with more combat.

The dev Brian Ma cleared up the error in the original post regarding the hitting. OP got that wrong, but it's still being debated. Like he said, into urban legend territory.

My take on this. SCEA gives us loads of options to customize the game the way we want it. Someone complaining about guess pitch when it can be turned off seems strange and looking for gripes. Just turn it off if you don't want to use it.

I like that I don't have to use a certain control scheme for running. I use the classic controls for baserunning and have very little complaints about it. Is it as intuitive maybe not, but certainly not noteworthy in an article.

I think the fielding in MVP is better. That is a fair assessment. I have turned auto fielding on and enjoy it that way.

I enjoy the challenge of trying to read pitches and guess pitches (without the game mechanic) and love the challenge of the Show hitting system. I hope they do not change it. I don't need to see yellow, green or orange balls flying at me. If they choose to make that an option, so be it.

I found the left stick mechanic of MVP to be rather mundane. Basically, I found myself holding up and to the left or right waiting for the right pitch to hit a homerun. I like using the PCI to try to guess a zone or look for a pitch in and see the results of that...Seems more rewarding.
