I said "jury is still out" for two reasons:

1) They're still working on the game, so who's to say what will actually change from now till then.

2) Simply, I don't have the PS4 version, so I can't make the comparison from one to the next... but I know for a fact that the dirt and wall didn't look like that in Dodger Stadium last year. There's still hope for the grass, but that's all I'm leaning on right now (back to point #1).

Directional hitting was in mvp, high heat and mlb slugfest. I agree the radio show most likely is something for rtts and other modes, although hoping for more descriptive pbp.

Maybe the directional hitting is like the Japanese Konami Spirits games where one button tries to pull and the other slap hits.

It'll be their version of NBA 2K tv IMO.

This is my thought as well.

For all we know it's a LITERAL radio show SCEA SD will host online on a periodic basis. Or it could be exactly what I'm hoping it is - weekly recaps within Franchise mode.

Definitely intrigued though.

Talk to me like I'm stupid (which isn't a stretch ).

What is directional hitting?

[aguero90]

Think of it as using the left stick to decide where you want to try and hit the ball. Down to try and hit on the ground, up for fly balls, and left and right for pull and go the other way. At least this is what it was in other games.

The radio show sounds interesting. Being that I'm still playing the PS3 version I hope the price difference ($40 for PS3 and $60 for PS4) doesn't mean that I'm getting half the game.
