    If "solid" contact, more often the not, resulted in base hits, simply mastering the timing of how to hit would pillage the game of all statistical realism for hardcore players. These hardcore players are certainly the demographic MOST looking for realism. We can't have it both ways. A purely timing based hitting system, and statistically solid long term play.

    I don't know, maybe it can be done. All I know for sure is that to baseball fans, numbers matter.
    I'm not saying timing should be the only factor in hitting, of course players ratings need to have a lot of influence. My beef with the hitting system or the one mentioned in this article is you shouldn't be able to flick your stick(that sounds funny) up or down and be able to hit a fly ball or ground ball based off that. Your timing and left stick should determine the balls flight. The way it is now, I can flick my r stick up and hit a ball at my shins in the air or vice versa and hit a ground ball.

    If you are talking about realism, a hitter goes up to the box needing to hit a fly ball he is going to be looking for something up...... he needs to move a runner over he's looking for something on the outside part of the plate. The right stick just makes it too easy to manipulate where you are hitting the ball.

      That's an option you can turn off though. it's called " swing influence ". i play with it off.

        I just simply don't use it.
        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

          I guess there's no difference between having it off and having it on but not using it.

                IMHO..
                No and no.
                Neither are perfect(I don't think either is even "better" than MLB's current status) and as for wholesale changes to those. .....most definitely not.

                    Hitting's fine. The hit variety out of the box is a little weak (lasers, and lots of them) but with some slider tweaking it's totally fine.

                    If they should overhaul something for the sake of overhauling something, make it pitching. Pitching is outdated and, after being the same since '06, pretty boring. The only way to make it interesting is to make it random (i.e., take control away from you) by lowering pitch control or going to "classic" pitching (shudder...).

                      I'd take the cursor hitting in PYS over the random stat based hitting in the show any day.

                          Well that is basically what it is. It's all stat based and the cpu basically decides when you should or shouldn't get a hit. Now granted you do play some part in this but it is a very small part. When you play with a cursor based system you know when you get a hit that you've earned it.

                                I don't think it's completely random, but I get your drift.
