Behind the pitcher cam just didn't look right. The pitcher looks akward. I can't really place it... just does to me.

Player models..

Player models while important doesn't affect gameplay. I would prefer SCEA work really hard on the Fielding which is a weak point in this series.

Ah, I see. I have it set to 720p. I think the game actually suggests to put it to 720p???? Maybe it's because of this very issue.

No, not the case.

I only ever play on 720p, trust me, its there.

If I had to pick one, it'd be pitching. There needs to be more balls, from the user pitcher mostly.

I actually think this is only a problem on the default levels. And it's also heavily tied to what the user wants. Most user's are unable to accept what a game needs to do to force the user to walk batters.

If people really want to issue more balls and walks, you have to lower user pitch control to 0 and live with the fact that you can't always throw a strike when you want (or a good pitch). In real life, every year a pitcher will walk in a batter to lose a game because he can't find the strike zone. Many pitchers will lose the ability to throw a strike during a game. Is a user really willing to accept that? How many times have you found yourself watching a game and see a pitcher walk a terrible hitter and get frustrated? There are areas in video games where gamers say they want realism but really don't. One of those areas is user pitch control.

The second part of that argument is making the cpu batters dangerous enough that the user isn't willing to just pound the zone without getting punished for it. Many gamers will fall behind 2-0 in a count and then just throw a meatball to avoid giving up walks. That pitch should get hammered. Being afraid to throw a decent hitter a strike when in a hitter's count will force the user to nibble more and issue more walks. If you aren't afraid to throw a strike to a good hitter in a batter's count then you need to either adjust sliders or the difficulty level.

I truly think that by dropping user pitch control AND raising cpu batting abilities, the Show can handle user balls and walks issued as well as you can. Any flaws from this part of the game is typically on the user imo.

One other thing that could be fixed is the fact that the CPU swings at the first pitch way too much!

Stop throwing meat! Anyway I think you have this confused with another game.

Pretty much agree with everything here, esp. when using classic pitching. Although i wouldn't mind seeing a bout of extreme wildness once in a while like we would see in HH where it didn't matter if you aimed down the middle on 4 consecutive pitches they would all be balls well out of the zone. I'm not so sure how this would go over with a lot of people though who seem to want total control and no variability whatsoever.
