I wish the grass wasn't cut so high down the lines - there's too much friction. Whenever I hit a line drive past the first or third baseman the ball rolls to a stop before ever getting to the wall. This unfortunately cuts down on the number of extra-base hits.

Make the strike zone smaller and on a related note, don't have the CPU pitchers paint the corners as often as they do.

My sentiments as well. Pitching (throwing strikes) has always been way too easy in the Show, even with slider adjustments.

Do you pitch with the meter or classic because using classic i seem to walk my share of cpu hitters. When it comes to the cpu walking me that's a different story though as i'm to swing happy. I really think though that in order for human players to walk much in this game they need to make the cpu pitcher throw further off the plate for balls, if they are just off the corner it's a way to hard to tell in a video game.

Maybe this is something I can fix in sliders, or maybe I just stink, but I wish I could hit more homeruns! I check my contact and timing after the pitch or hit, and I'll see it says I had perfect timing, and right in the zone - but the hit just makes the waning track...

If you aim with your L stick that helps.

Here is another option i'd like to have in the game, "to be able to turn off the need to warm up your relief pitchers". I quite often forget to.

The pitcher/batter duel. Okay, only kidding! Seriously, base stealing and pickoffs - the pitcher/ baserunner duel.

Online: Hit and run broken

Offline and online: L-stick aim location not recognized unless you were super early. What resulted was swings right down the middle. Window for aiming location should be open until contact is made.

I agree about the strike zone. It's way too high compared to how umps call it in real life. And for visual purposes only, back away the hitters from the plate. They crowd it way too much.

Great point!

Mine would have to be throw accuracy is identical no matter if it's a throw off the back foot from a backhanded play in the 6-hole by the SS, or a routine grounder to the 2B.

Classic base running will be back in MLB10

^That is great news! I was not a fan of the RTTS running controls so glad they are going back to classic.

Have the first baseman retreat to the bag on a double play ball that is hit to him. too many times the shortstop either holds the ball or lobs it to first cause its waiting for the pitcher to covr 1st base even if the 1st baseman is 4 feet from the bag.

Oh and in franchise when playing the CPU stop having them bring in the same 3 relievers instead of using the entire bullpen setup during a series. LOL

This would be great.. and more realistic. When batting in real life you don't stop aiming your swing once your swing starts. You watch the ball all the way to the bat and make adjustments during the swing.
