Where are these features?

[lw22]

1) Where is the box on the side which shows if the batter is too early or too later on the previous pitch, the batter's PCI, and the previous pitch's location?

2) On MLB The Show 14, when I press the big pad in the middle of the controller, I can see the batter's rating against LHP/RHP, speed, plate vision, etc. How can I get those on The Show 15?

Thx.

Push R2 during an at-bat and it will show the strike zone with previous pitches and tell you if you were early or late on the last one.

Touch pad does nothing in-game now. Hit right on the D-Pad and you should see the splits. There is info in the Options menu too such as batter and pitcher analysis.

Re: Where are these features?

Along the same lines, is there a way to see the hitter's hot and cold zones in the options menu or anywhere? I don't like playing with strike zone on...

You can set the hot and cold zones to preview with the strike zone off.

Re: Where are these features?

1) They got rid of this. Now you get a blob that shows up for like 2 seconds, and gives you very little information. Once it disappears you can't look at it again, and if you swung, it sometimes doesn't show up at all. You can use R2 if you have Guess Pitch enabled, but it only works when you're batting, and it still doesn't show you swing info or pitch speed

2) This has been moved to the d-pad

This is incorrect. You can still look at it after it disappears, all you have to do is hold R2 before the next pitch and it will show up. And I have never had it not show up after swinging. Also, you can use it even if guess pitch is off, as that is how I have it setup.

And it works the same way when pitching as it does hitting.

We're talking about two different things here. I know you can bring the R2 screen up any time, but it doesn't seem like you can bring the blob back once it disappears. R2 only shows all the pitches of the at-bat (or a previous at-bat). It doesn't show the swing or any of the other blob info... unless I'm missing something here?

And neither of these functions show pitch speed.

Yes you can. If you make contact and the next batter is up, if the blob doesn't show up when you press R2 then press right on the D-Pad to go to the previous at-bat/pitch. You can see what type of contact was made.

And no, none show pitch speed.

Would love to see the pitch speed somewhere besides the very brief scorebug
appearance.

I honestly don't care if its shown or not to be honest. But maybe its something they can patch into the game, for those who want the information displayed.

That I did not know. I figured the D-pad just cycled through other previous at-bats.

Kinda weird that the default is a previous at-bat and an extra button press gets me to my current at-bat, but I'll take it.

Thanks!

I have no idea why they didn't use the touch pad for anything this year,such a waste of a feature of the DS4. Have seen other games use it by pushing on the left and right side,so could have access to 2 more quick menus.

I also wish they could patch it so that either Left or right on the d-pad could show the pitchers walks and SO's in the pitcher info. ATM it shows the same info(balls and strikes) on both the left and right quick menus.

The touch pad is now the tips mini menu. Up is quick menu, down is quick shifts, left is batter pitcher snapshot, and right on dpad showas pitch history I believe.

Re: Where are these features?

Is there a way to see that speed of your pitch when you are pitching? Maybe I just overlooked it so far.
