Judging by that popup that blew back into the field of play, the wind was blowing pretty strongly out to left-center. Also, the ball was on the outer third of the plate and Cano hit 6 HR's last year to left or left-center so its not like he doesn't have oppo power... He also has a tendency to hit fly balls the other way (44.9% FB% to the opposite field) so I'm not too concerned... yet...
I'm a little worried about all of these changes they are making. I've always been told don't try to fix what isn't broken.
A decent option for newb's I guess....I'll never use it. But it does make me nervous that they're tweaking things that are not broken to appease people who don't know how to play. The hitting wasn't that difficult in past versions and judging from that video, if you can't hit in this mode then you may have a neurological disorder and probably shouldn't be playing video games. I will also say that if anything, if they could figure out how to make it easier to read pitches and determine ball or strike it would be cool. I don't draw nearly enough walks and would like to take more but I frequently swing at balls that out or marginally out of the strike zone.
That's on you for swinging at bad pitches. I see the ball just fine, except for some games at Progresive Field.
You want more walks. Use Pyschobulk/TKGMs sliders.

Speaking of that... any word if this has been fixed yet? I'm tired of having to play all my games against the Cleveland Indians at some other random stadium.
That's not his there are four of them that are really zoomed in like that 2 of them are G'Mo's.

- Not too worrisome because of the difficulty level, but Cano took that opposite field with ease. I know there will be new push/pull tendencies, but I wonder if that also helps with regard to power the opposite way. Time will tell on that front.
The wind was blowing out like crazy in that game and the game was on beginner its beyond easy to rake. For a veteran of the franchise it's strictly meant for new users and people who struggle.
The blog on Friday goes into great detail about the changes to hitting and the engine itself.
Man that new Cano stance is soooo bad. I just can't get over it. I really hope that is not the final stance. Its accurate for when Cano stands still in the box, but that is it. I really hope last years stance is still in the game as it was pretty good, even if he now puts his bat on his shoulder before each pitch. I'd rather use that one.

Thanks.
I guess I should have mentioned I only had time to watch like twenty seconds of the video, and that was within the twenty seconds that I saw (just skipped right to it). Now that I was able to watch it all, I saw the wind effect and everything. I have no doubts that the new hitting model is everything it's hoped to be.
