    Looking for ideas on best hitting view...

    What do MLB the show players think are the best hitting and pitching views to use?

    I have started to sway away from fisheye for a few games and use now over the plate view. I can see the ball break easier.

      I use a zoomed in offset. It helps with depth and identifying offspeed pitches yet makes those low outside pitches look like they are tough to hit. I would not recommend it for people using zone hitting though.

        I was was offset zoom as it helped me time my swing better, but I've been having trouble laying off pitches just outside the zone. I thought it may be because of the zoom, nothing really looks that far off the plate. So I switched to fish eye and turned off the strike zone outline and I've been working counts much better.

          I use Fisheye mainly for the epic view of the stadium. I also use Directional hitting with camera shift on so it's possible to get a Fisheye offset view when try to pull/push the ball.

            The Show 15 for hitting. I find it just jives with me the best for pitch recognition and feel.

            Fisheye for pitching. I know a lot of people like the behind the pitcher camera's but I hate those. I want to think "If I were the batter what would fool me?". Plus when I pitch in Franchise I feel I'm playing two positions. I'm the catcher making the calls and the pitcher executing them. So I really feel the view from the catcher is immersive.

            Love fisheye for spotting those runners.

            Also the epic view.

              I use a custom fish eye that helps me recognize the low pitches better.
              Standard:
              Custom:
              Zoom all the way in and move the camera down until the pitcher is roughly centered in the strike zone and you're done.

                I use PITCHER CENTER and zoom in all the way it allows. Awesome! Try it!

                I like the fact that Righty-lefty matchups really come into play as it is harder for lefties to hit lefties and vice versa because of the angle and the ability to see the pitch sooner.

                Hint: focus on the center of the strike zone and not the ball or pitcher. (I always guess low pitch in classic quadrant mode to avoid swinging at dirt balls but that's optional)

                  A customized camera will no doubt yield the best hitting view.
                  But I'm pretty lazy and just wind up using one of the presets that suits me most

                    what is the point of your question? There is no "best". Everyone is different. I use "outfield" view customized to be a little more zoomed out and centered. Some don't like that view. Others use the behind the plate views, which I hate. Use what YOU like.

                      I think the point of the question was to get some fresh ideas after people have now played the game a while. I've been using Fisheye and struggling down low. I've now changed to Greencollars custom Fisheye that he gave pictures of and it's perfect for me. Without this thread it's not something I would have done myself.

                        He's looking for ideas, that's the point of the question.

                          Surely if a thousand people endorse a particular cam view over one that only a handful like, that wold have SOME merit.

                            The Show 15 is by far the best camera IMO. I have been able to draw more walks using this cam over others.

                              Wow please tell me that picture for this post is some sort of training and not a franchise game with all those empty seats! Lol

                              That would be too realistic! Lol
