IMO the swing stick is way overrated!

I agree. In my opinion, there's nothing like controlling the sweet spot of the bat with the left analog stick ( like The Show and Pro Baseball Spirits ).

It's not that they've brought features. Outside of RTTS they haven't, really. It's that every year the on-field game is refined and tweaked and is consistently the best in-game experience of any sports game.

That's the appeal for me, I think.

I think MVP felt the most realistic to me in the way the ball came off the bat depending on pitch type and location. In the show, no matter what the sliders are at, I don't feel like mistakes are punnished enough by good hitters. How many times has "wheelhouse perfect" on a flat changeup ended up being a double play or something stupid.

I think it just comes down to the fact sports games hardly have any competition (1 football choice, now 1 nhl, 1.5 baseball) so they don't need to be too innovative with features but at least everything is getting more and more polished.

I actually like how some "wheelhouse perfect" swings end up being duds. That is baseball. Sometimes you hit it on the sweet spot and it just doesn't connect right.

That is why they say it is a game on inches.

I have faith that these guys have made significant upgrades to this game that will make it play and feel more realistic than previous versions. That being said, 2011 they need to prioritize new player models. In looking back, these models are the same exact ones we've have seen since PS2, it is really time to step it up in this department

Re: What has the Show brought to the table feature wise ?

to me the " innovative" feature I never seen in a sports game is the A.I. . Specifically the pitching. I just marvel when I whiff on a 2-0 changeup because I'm sitting on a heater. Overall the AI is the best ever IMO.

Excellent point. They definitely innovated the pitcher vs. batter AI game.

So can you guys change to "wheelhouse +- centimeters perfect" when we hit a dud? that way we know it was the code that got us out and not the user input LOL

IMO...Interaction with the developers and the willingness of them to be receptive to player feedback.
