I just do what's comfortable for both sides for me.

I thought there's something about hitting from one side that causes certain tendencies compared to from the other side. Like many left-handed hitters love driving pitches low, which you don't see as often from right-handed hitters... that could be a myth, but... Also, there's some benefit for LHB taking off to 1B right after making contact, while doing so as RHB may just increase HBP, lol.

Isn't it generally the case that switch hitters have different stances though?

I have a different stance and approach from the left-hand (my stronger) side, as well, though I rarely bat right handed anymore, anyway.

In the game, dude.

Regarding the "surprise" Nemesis was referring to ..... I never got a response in regard to one of my predictions.

One of my guesses was that there would be region-specific cover athletes for the game. Now that Joey Bautista is gracing the cover in Canada I wonder if I'm on to something.

Nem???

Yes, nemesis also said that again in the Bautista trailer thread. Even still, there must be a reason for Hamilton to be at the studio...

I won't rule out premium avatars and themes until that idea is also rebuked.

And Nem just said that the other athletes may be used in other ways ... perhaps tied to something geographic? Or position?

I think I win for getting the closest. I'll crown myself on Nem's behalf.
