That's a bug.
No way they should have done that. No way.

Yeah, I was shocked.

I saw the catcher stand up and put his arm out, and I just could not figure out what they were thinking.

It is not like Salty is Barry Bonds... especially with how I hit with him.

Glad that someone also believes the pitcher's abilities matter when using the meter and mastering the meter doesn't mean perfect pitches. I've always thought that perfect timing on the meter means the pitcher will throw a particular pitch to the best of his abilities (ratings) for that pitch, and user mistakes in meter timing degrade the ratings for the pitch causing missed spots, wild pitches, etc.

The other people touched on it. Its fun to sim 6+ years and try to turn around a team without playing with them. Also I doubt you play every teams game everyday. So you will be affected because you too will be simming games.

I was watching a game and that is his stance minus a little rocking

Pure analog replicates this as well. A lot of pitchers are a lot more difficult to throw with when pitching out of the stretch as the meter shortens. Some pitchers require more force. Some you really have to go light on the stick, for some pitchers if you release early they will throw high but others will throw low and all of this is variates with each pitcher and on higher difficulties it is very apparent. Also some pitchers I personally have trouble throwing inside to same side hitters as they tend to either throw it down the middle or bean batter. it's funny somebody mentioned how meter was the only pitching interface you can't master and the only interface that punishes you for missing your release point but they forgot to mention Pure analog.

I wanted to mention something that I think is really great this year about the game. I have always loved the challenge of the Show and hitting and pitching. My 8 year old son never wanted to play the game....I assumed because he wasn't into baseball much.

This year he won't put the game down. He has the Vita playing all the time and wants to play me head to head on the PS3. He actually beat me yesterday with him on rookie and me on HOF.

I asked him why he likes the game this year. His response was "I can hit the ball this year and can hit home runs. The game is so much fun I love it!"

By making the game more accessible and opening the timing window SCEA has made the game more fun for kids and in turn bringing these kids into the baseball world. He wants to watch baseball now Great decision by SCEA and I'm sure it is going to bring many more customers into the fold...Great work!!

Regarding the Weekly Challenge:

I find the scores of other players currently playing to be distracting and not even useful.

The scores are not consistently displayed and are blinking on and off at the most inopportune times.

Please add a setting to disable these useless online players' scores.
