    Hardest park to hit in during the day on a sunny day

    I just played a game in my Yankees franchise on Mother's Day against the Brewers during the day and, for some reason, it was really hard to pick up the pitch from Gallardo. I use catcher default for hitting. I didn't have an isssue during the night games there. It may have been due to the fact that I was a little bit tired from work but I felt I couldn't see the ball well enough with the hitters eye and shadows. I know in real life this happens alot. I scratched across 1 run but lost the game 3-1. Just wondering if anyone else has a hard time hitting in Milwaukee during the day on a sunny afternoon.

    Re: Hardest park to hit in during the day on a sunny day

    I've had a hard time with Safeco. There is a spot above the batters eye where the sunlight comes in. The problem is with a left handed pitcher it seems to be right near the release point. I have tried adjusting the camera and you can only go so far with the presets and it won't save custom cameras. Even with the night games it's still light out until about the 5th inning.

    I haven't played in all the stadiums yet but so far that is the only one I have an issue with.

      I was just about to post something very similar.
      Played in safeco and when the lefty relievers come in, I literally could not see a thing. You see it leave their hand and then nothing until it crosses the plate!
      Try a different camera angle is about all I could do.

        Agreed completely. I play as Milwaukee in an online league and my first day game at home I had the same issues as the sun on the batters eye basically blinded me and made it impossible to see the ball until it was pretty much at the plate.

          I haven't had any real problems yet.

          To this day, I still remember Progressive Field from MLB '11 though. (Shudders)

            Arizona Diamondbacks "Chase Field" hitter's eye way too light green compared to real life

              I haven't made the majors yet this year, but Cleveland was always tough for me. The trees in the background were a perfect camouflage. Once the sun went down it was no prob tho

                Progressive was always the worst for me but that seems to be fixed on the ps4 version.

                Now Safeco is going to be the tough one because of the led board and unfortunately I have to play there quite a bit playing as the A's.

                        I can't remember which stadium it was (probably was at home against Milwaukee) but I had the same issue. I couldn't see the ball once it left the pitcher's hand until it was basically at the plate.

                          Safeco by a mile. I finally decided to try the final game of a 3 game set with overcast skies and voila, problem solved. That's the only time I've touched the weather and haven't played with what was defaulted, but trying to hit there was comical, then downright frustrating.

                            This. I just finished up a series there with the Phillies and the day game was tough. I won 2-0, but couldn't see the ball very well.

                              Yeah I hate Safeco. I was playing for them with my RTTS guy in 13 and hated the hitter's eye there.
