Hitting View for Online Play

[Nickstank]

I've been playing offline for two months and created a custom camera that I love, but for some reason we can't use custom cameras online. I lowered my custom cam to a level that really helps me track pitches low in the zone, but every camera pre-set camera I've used seems to favor a "higher" view of the zone. I haven't really loved any of them. So I've got two questions:

-What camera(s) have you guys had the most success with online
-What camera(s) are best for picking up pitches low in the zone?

I've been having the most luck with strike zone high, but that doesn't seem to fit your style

I love Fisheye for picking up low pitches (or any pitches, really - I can just read the movement so well from that view). Any view where I can see home plate lets me read low pitches pretty well, though.

Strike Zone 3 is similar to Fisheye (just more zoomed in) and I could probably use it given some practice.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try the fisheye and strike zone 3 cameras again and see if they'll work for me. Right now I'm using MLB 15 The Show since it sits fairly low. It's just a little too zoomed out for my taste.

After a suggestion on Reddit, I switched to Retro. I works well for me, I don't get fooled very often with low pitches using it.

A friend of mind recommended Retro. It’s gonna take some getting used to as I usually use Catcher High or Zoom. The ball seems to get one you super fast in Retro.

I've been using strike zone but might change it up. I've been hitting pretty average lately so a change of pace might work.

I never thought about changing the batter view. I’m going to tinker with it because as of late I can’t hit a beach ball

I use Strike Zone but I wish there was one I liked better visually. I have sucess but it takes away from the beauty of the stadiums and surroundings.

Re: Hitting View for Online Play

I tried strike zone 3 and I actually like that a lot. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I've settled on The Show 15 since it gives me a decent perspective on low pitches. It's not quite as zoomed in as I like, and my custom cam works way better for me, but I'll deal. I also just got the Kontrol Freeks for my controller and that should help me keep from slamming the PCI to the edges of the zone.

What are these Kontrol Freekw you speak of? I have the same issue with the PCI

They're thumbsticks that go on your controller to give you increased control. They add very little height to the joysticks, but in my limited use so far there's a noticeable difference in the sensitivity of the movement I'm getting with the PCI. I definitely feel more in control and more able to maneuver around the interior of the strike zone.
