Hitting in 09 is a tad too difficult

[Crash Davis]

Anyone who has 09 agreeing on this? I used to play All Star then HOF in 08, but in 09 im stuck in veteran with sliders favouring me to get better hits and im getting shut out, I dont strike out just everything I hit is nothing, Ive played 6 Spring Training games and havent had one bomb yet not one....

Sure u can say I suck but really though this is kind of annoying,
anyone having similar experience?


EDIT*** I found if I turn the pitch count to "quick" it felt more like 08, just a suggestion for people having trouble.

It's definitely more difficult. But as someone who played HOF in the past, I am getting great results on default all-star with pitch speed turned down.

Have to see how it goes, but that's what I am seeing so far.

I'm glad it's hard..hate paying money for easy games..plus I plan on spending a ton of time "in the cage"
Hitting a baseball is probably the hardest thing to do in real life sports

The last baseball games I played were MVP 2005 (PC) and MVP NCAA 06 (PS2). Coming from those games with their slightly oversized ball and hitter's eye gimmick, I'm finding the demo pretty hard.

I love it.

Bite your tongue!

This is awesome. I play on Legend, and this looks like the difficulty I've been waiting for. I just got owned by Brandon Webb, but before that I scored seven runs against Brian Mohler. You've got to concentrate and wait for your pitch, and it's tough. But I love the fact that this year I might not be hitting .310-.330 as a team.

The hitting is a lot tighter this year. You can't be late on that inside pitch and hit it hard the other way any more. And you really have to wait and go the other way with those outside pitches. If you're early you'll hit it off the end of the bat and just roll it over. Seems like the timing window is much more accurate this year. I'm loving it.

It is tougher but the community as a whole asked for it and we got it!

I think the hitting is right where it should be as far as difficulty is concerned.

Yeah, it's more difficult. My player had a horrible spring training. Welcome to the AA bench.
