Re: What stadium do you hate to hit in?

Sometimes I hate hitting in my own park, sun life stadium, like 440 ft to dead center and i tend to bounce a lot of balls off the "teal monster"

I've had some bad experiences at Comerica park, good thing I don't play the tigers often tho.

@White Sox.

I swear, during daylight hours there's white light near the pitchers' release points. How can they get away with that when every other stadium has something dark back there? Is it like that in real life too?

Re: What stadium do you hate to hit in?

I just played a day game at Miller Park and I could not pick up the ball of the bat on defense. I had three plays to the 2nd baseman where my only hope was the ball hit right at him and they were not. Needless to say I just simmed the rest of the game. Cleveland is tough on hitting the first few innings as well.

Any stadium with acres and acres of foul territory (Oakland comes to mind). I enjoy working hard during at bats by taking pitches and fouling them off, but when you hit a foul in Oakland, you to knock the crap out of the ball to ensure its not caught.

CITI Field....

Which is where I have to play 81 of my games in.

I just can't score more than 3 runs when I'm playing there. I have hit 29 home runs at home this year compared to the 60 I hit on the road. So dam frustrating playing their.

Arlington and Anaheim...for the same reason everyone else has already stated...the glare murders me, I swear it makes my eyes cross sometimes

Re: What stadium do you hate to hit in?

Posted this on a different thread, but I'll repeat here. I haven't seen anyone else mention it, so I think it has more to do with the camera angle I use (Catcher 5).

But, in Kauffman Stadium, most pitchers' release points line up with the lettering in centerfield (Home of the 2012 All Star Game). The lettering is light yellow, so the ball just mixes in with it, and I have a tough time picking it up. It seems worse during the day than at night.

Was having a heck of time against Hochevar for 4 or 5 innings, then managed to bounce a comeback line drive off his face (broken nose out for 2-3 weeks). They replaced him with Jeff Suppan, who has a much lower release point, and problem was solved, at least for that day.

Progressive in Cleveland... You literally CANNOT see the ball when bating at the beginning of night games. The sun/sunlight is right there blocking your sight.

Clevelands park, the background behind the pitcher tends to hide the ball on the pitch foe me

Citi Field. Had no homeruns in my 3-game series using the Astros.

Re: What stadium do you hate to hit in?

Yeah I actually made a search for this thread, because I have a series in Cleveland right now and its damn near impossible to hit there. Hitting at night is pretty difficult too, because there's this white light in the back drop (on the corner of a tree) and it basically distracts you from the pitch as it approaches.

If you don't have a problem hitting in Cleveland, keep in mind camera angle obviously affects things, your angle might just be a better one at this park.

I think I'm going to play my Cleveland home games at the Cincinnati Reds' stadium instead.

That's the only park I've ever had much problem hitting in. I really hope the devs clean up some of the aesthetics next year. I know they did it on purpose to simulate real life, but I dont think it should be to the point where gameplay is affected in the process.

Re: What stadium do you hate to hit in?

The instant I saw this topic I thought of Cleveland at the beginning of a night game. Just so hard to pick the ball up. Zooming in on the camera angle really helps for the first few innings. After the 4th or so I don't have any problems.
