    '16 batting practice

    This is something that won't be in the 'new features' segments or threads. I am wondering if the Open Batting practice has been put back in for '16? The last 2 years it has been listed as an option on the practice mode load up screen but not an option when actually in practice. I really enjoyed that mode where it is just a 20 pitch at bat with no situations or bat control hints. No medals, no points, just straight batting practice.

    I personally would like to see the pitch speed slider available in batting practice.

    It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

      Just load your sliders before practice.

        I'd love to see batting cages especially for RTTS. Come in there take a couple of swings It would help if you're trying out a new batting stance or just want to hit.

          That defeats the point of practice.

          If I can adjust contact, power, speed, etc...I would like an ability to adjust the pitch speed. Since I have such a hard time discerning between fastball and changeup, using batting practice is huge for me in learning pitch recognition. Hence, pitch speed plays a vital role in helping me find my "sweet spot".

            Would be cool if it was something you could load up in the Player Edit menu similar to NHL. It's a little far-fetched and I'm not sure if it's even possible, but just throwing it out there.

              1. batting practice before each franchise game as an option in the empty-ish ballpark you are about to play in.

              2. editable fielding angles to track the ball better in a wide open BP.

              3. See #1

                I'd love for a bp option where you can select pitch type & location. It'd be great for those of us that struggle hitting curtains pitches in certain spots.

                    Be cool if you get 1 pitch for each guy in your starting lineup
