Basically, the difference is if you move your cursor to the left and then let go, the snap-back kind will do just that, it will snap back to the center of the strike zone. The free-roam cursor will not do that, it will stay right where you last left it. I personally prefer the free-roaming kind. It was employed in the ASB games and WSB 2K3, and like I said Power Pros had the option for either (and this is where I figured out the snap-back kind was difficult to handle because of the pressure sensitivity). But for true zone hitting, the kind that High Heat used to have which doesn't involve a physical cursor, is my favorite kind of hitting system. It's similar, but again it doesn't have that pressure sensitivity issue.

I also like thr free roaming but whichever it is I'll just be glad it's there.

Me too, for sure. I wonder which I'll prefer though, classic swinging or right stick swinging.

I wonder if it was incorporated as I suggested it should have been last year for 2K10 (do I dare link my video to that? ).

For me since zone hitting is only in classic button swinging I'll probably use that for hitting but for sure will use analog pitching.

I just can't wait to start testing things out and getting settings ready before rosters are done.... I simply LOVE analyzing the stats, player speeds etc..

Stoked with the amount of info they gave us... seems earlier than normal.

Individual stadium cameras are sooo sick.

Weather and player models were the least of my concerns but both have me very excited, candidly.

The ESPN article mentioned, in RTTS Mode, that stats will have more of an impact on promotions/demotions.

Is it too early to ask whether or not the CPU will be using this same logic during season/franchise mode? Or is this a RTTS only feature?
