Ya I got that..I was asking how it will work for classic batting

On Analog is X used to bunt or is it something else ??

I was just saying in general from posts I have read, I didn't get that at all from what you said, I was agreeing with a statement that I thought you made... My mistake

Thinking a slap hitting button works better here because I can't visualize how much of a difference you would see with contact/normal. Never know, contact could work like that if you're caught off guard by an outside pitch..

That's a good question.

If the face buttons are used to preselect swing type for analog hitting (Which I'm not sure I completely like...but that's another thing) then I would like to see pressing up on the R Stick be for bunting.

To me, it's much more fluid that way and can maybe give the user a better chance to pull back the bunt (something that's been a sore spot in The Show for me) by simply releasing the stick.

Contact (i.e. just trying to make contact, slapping at it, whatever)

I was not quoting you for my response, lol.

Anyway, there are 3 swing types as Enigma mentioned. X is a normal swing.

When I made that comment I was referring to how it will now work on classic

Regarding analog they could use X or triangle for bunting
