    Re: Favorite hitting views and why?



    Custom cam based on The Show 15 setting, zoomed in and lowered which makes it much easier to read low pitches and breaking balls in general for me.

    It's similar to the Strike Zone cams, but a bit lower and less zoom. I find that being zoomed out more helps me read both high and low since the zone is smaller and there isn't as much geography for my eyes to cover. So it's a nice balance imo.

    Unfortunately can't use custom cams online so I'd probably just go with The Show 15 cam.

      My favorite view is the one I'm best at, and for some unknown reason that seems to change from year to year. This year I'm using The Show 16. In the past I've mainly used catcher High, wide and Fish Eye 2.

        Either Retro or The Show 16. When I struggle with one I switch to the other. Usually retro for the most part though.

          I use this custom view. I tried to do something offset so that RvL and vice-versa actually felt a tad easier than RvR or LvL much like real life. I also made the camera be offset and at the angle it is so that I can't spit on borderline pitches as easy. No angle can replicate the actual feeling of being at the plate, but this custom camera allows me to see the stadiums, the batter, and be at an angle that adds some of the natural difficulties of hitting while not being frustrating. I can still identify pitches and have a good eye, but it's still tough enough that if a pitcher is on against me I will struggle.

          I know for me that when I use the standard centered cameras or other traditional game cameras that I can identify pitches too well and that takes away some of the fun of hitting for me. I've always thought one of the most interesting things to watch in a game is the hitters who have a good feeling for the strike zone in that moment or seeing the guys that don't. This angle allows me to go through stretches where I have a great feel for it and some stretches I have a terrible feel for it much like real baseball.

            Been rotating between Fisheye 1/2 and Offset 1/2. I like being able to see the whole field on fish eye, but the pitcher looks a little small, so when I get in a bad slump I try to switch things up. Keeps the game fresh

              Offset 2 is my fav, been using it for years. I love the angle I get depending on lefty or righty batter. I can read pitches well. Works for me

                I'm a fisheye fool. I need to see those fair-poles. I would love to be able to function with a camera zoomed as close as I could to get a perfect view of the pitcher but unfortunately I never could adjust to the timing and gave up on that years ago

                  I use a “custom” version of fisheye 2. I zoom in until 1st and 3rd are on the very edge of my screen and rotate it down to see low pitches better.

                  I like it because I can get a nice view of the ballpark too as well as turn base runner windows off.

                    Retro. I feel I can judge balls and strikes really well with retro because it’s straight on the pitcher. The sacrifice is depth perception though, but with practice it’s fine.

                      Re: Favorite hitting views and why?

                      I only play offline but the one thing I probably do more like “online” guys is play with the strike zone cam. I’m surprised no one mention that as their preferred camera (maybe someone did and I missed it).

                      I play legend default, zone hitting and move up pitch speeds sliders to 7 FB and 6 OS.

                      To me, I want to feel like I’m in the box and strike zone does that. It also lets me see the pitch out of the pitchers hand the best and see his facial reactions.

                      I use to play on wide till about MLB 18 and once I changed to strike zone, there was no going back.

                        Wide because I love it. You can see a lot of the stadium and the ball comes in at a nice angle plus you can really see the cpu pitcher. Never hit so good on the show until I went to this camera

                              I never use guess pitch, always turn that off.

                              90% of the time I'm using Retro.

                              Batting I use Zone, the PCI is set to just Outer "Basic". Thats it! When I struggle, i turn on the Center "Diamonds". Also, I have it set to fade away when the pitch is coming for a clean screen and better focus on the ball.
