Will the silhouette bat be visible when pitching to a bunting batter... or when viewing CPU vs. CPU in Broadcast?
That's where I could see it detracting from the visual integrity.
I do like that it happens for us when up to bat though.. nice addition. Toggle On/Off would would make everyone happy for sure though.

If I recall it just shows up for the human batter but I will check when I am there. There really is not need for it show up like that for the CPU.

For the amount of times you bunt in a game it really is not an issue. Unless you are a cheeser and bunt all over the place.

This is what the silhouette bat looks like.
You can still see the bat and it allows you to see the ball.
I think this move was unnecessary but obviously someone thought it was important enough.

Was hoping to hear that you would be able to import logos from last year. I can't find any info on this, has it been mentioned at all yet?

Also the silhouette looks pretty good, it was a huge problem last year as anything inside you couldn't see at all. I never brought the bat back because of this. I just took my chances if it was going to be a strike.

With certain hitting cams the bat blocks the ball more then others. Most likely a reason for the direction of the silhouette. We can ask if it can get toggled but most likely it will not happen for 13.

The pic about is pretty much my view. Maybe a little more zoom in.
But whatever, Im not complaining. I personally dont care either way.
A toggle would have been good, but for whatever reason its not there.
We'll still live.

I'm digging the new PCI "arcs"... much less obtrusive. I sturbbornly played with the PCI off most of the time because I didn't care for the design (even when it was a plain circle). However, I'm a better hitter with it on, so this is nice little addition that could make a big difference for me. Plus, aren't there a few more PCI options as well?

Its funny I absolutely struggle with the PCI on. Can't hit with it to save my life.

To answer your question there are a few styles to choose from.
