I know some people will argue that that's not how baseball works. But I disagree, at least to some extent. I'm not going to give my baseball resume, but let's just say that I know a thing or two about the game. There are, at times, situations where you're looking for a specific pitch in a specific location, sure. Obviously hitters' counts. You can look for that one pitch, in that one location. But I like to be able to recognize the pitch and hit it where it is. Given, if I'm looking for offspeed low and away and I get busted up and in with a high 90's fastball, chances are I'm not going to pull the ball with power. But having an approach where the count is 1-1, or even full, it's nice to kind of look middle of the plate and adjust to where and what kind of pitch is thrown. I hope directional hitting allows for this. *This point (at least the latter part) was not directed toward you. So please don't take it the wrong way. I saw some earlier comments from some people that basically told me how hitting works in real life. And again, I don't need such an explanation.

Your approach for this mechanic confuses me. You can move it around as you like as you described but to me using it with a zone hitting mindset is a mistake imo. The mechanic is directional hitting, if I am trying to induce a fly ball to get a sac fly I am pushing up. If I follow your approach and the ball comes in low I should be pulling it down which most likely is going to create a ground ball. At the event I used like a situational tool, coming to the plate with a plan to move runners over, sac flys etc.

Like I said you can use it however you like and I am really just offering general knowledge to the forum on how the mechanic was meant to be used by coming to the plate with a plan to get a desired result. For the record I like no camera shift as well.

Love the player speed changes! I've seen far too many balls caught that should have fell. You have to perfectly split the gap to even have a shot at extra bases. I'm all for anything and everything that makes the game more realistic. Proper hat and shoe sizes are secondary. I'm concentrating on Kershaw dropping a yellow-hammer on me, not if the SS has his bill tilted like he does when the shadows move in at 4 p.m. during a late afternoon game. This game brings that plus all the extra little cosmetic touches. I applaud the team that develops this experience and I thank them for "getting it", then delivering. I'm finally buying a PS4 in anticipation of their 2nd effort on it.

Dragons! Nice avatar.

I hope (since they've been doing a lot with lighting) that in night games nearby buildings have some windows with lights on. The all lights off look of past games is a little dead and post apocalyptic for my taste haha.

"Expect less warping and no more sudden, unrealistic speed boosts in all fielding animations"

Sorry haven't had a chance to go through all the posts/new info yet(got some reading ahead of me) but was anything mentioned about catchers reactions being toned down in regard to the above quote.

Nem addressed this on the second page of the gameplay thread.
