I use zone and at the event my biggest challenge was to try to stay the course for the type of hit I wanted to produce. I kept wanting to move the left stick to where the ball was in the strike zone. It takes some getting used to if you are strictly a zone player.

yeah, that's what I'm thinking. How well do you think it produced the result you wanted? Like if you wanted to hit a ball in the air to right field (up and to the right I suppose), did you think you got that result most of the time? Or did you see results that were totally different, like a grounder to 3rd base when you wanted right field? I imagine a lot of it has to do with the pitch and your timing, but when those two things are good, did you get the result you wanted the majority of the time?

What I did like about the system is it not being a total overriding force. Timing, pitch type, location player attributes have input on the result. It did feel satisfying when the different factors lined up getting your desired result. I also found that you can over compensate using this system by pulling balls foul where normally they would be fair. A lot of that depends on the hitter's push/pull tendencies.
