Is it too late to put the old hitting system back in? Basically we could just call it classic hitting like we have with classic pitching. So we could have Analog(default), classic, true zone and timing. Please, please give us the option to hit like we always have in the past. Don't take this as an insult, i truly believe that this is the best sports game out there, and I truly apreciate all the effort that you guys put into this game.

        Hey Knight, is your information about the historical seasons coming in part III?

            No problem, Knight. I'd imagine the time flies by at these events.

            How was the Broadcast presentation? I understand there's more stat overlays this year, correct?

            Oh, I also wanted to ask about HUM catchers throwing to 2B trying to catch a base stealer. It felt like in 10 that a lot of throws (especially ones with any kind of effort) went high, forcing your SS/2B to jump to catch the ball ... did you guys notice if the throws were more on-line this year?

              No we are not going to change it, I also dont' understand your argument. If you don't want to use zone hitting you can play with timing only.

                As a timing-only guy, I like the changes that have been made and I'm sure I'll try all 3 options out.

                  Hehe no I don't think I'm that obsessive. Maybe next year I'll ask for an option for the offset to flip between right and left handed batters or something like that.

                    I still want the challenge of trying to place my PCI but not being punished with missing the ball everytime my PCI is not in the area of the ball. I loved the current system (one that has been in the game forever). Usually if the PCI was in the wrong spot (not somewhere on the ball) you would sometimes miss the ball, but other times would just get a weak hit ect.. This was a great hitting system and I don't get the rational of why it was removed? Could it not have been kept in as an option (classic hitting)?

                      it wasn't removed, it was improved to work as it was intended in the first place. And as Russell stated, its still there, just not for HOF or Legend. So, maybe drop down a skill level, alter the sliders to adjust to your skill level and enjoy.
                      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 :(

                        From what Russell was saying, they didn't change that. They only implemented other options outside of the "classic" way to hit.

                          As long as you stay away from Legend and HOF, you should be fine using zone hitting.

                            Timing only is exactly what you are used to. It never worked like it was intended to. Thus they fixed it.

                            So if you want to play like you have, you choose timing only.

Pitch location is extremely important especially if you are on the higher difficulty levels. You can still have perfect timing and miss the ball because your PCI was not in the correct location. Very challenging and a lot of fun! I thought the mechanic was extremely balanced for a first time effort by SCEA!
                              Thanks for the info. Can't wait to check it out. Do you find value in timing only hitting with pitching maxed out for online play?

                                If I understand correctly, we were all virtually playing 'timing only' the past few years. I'm looking forward to the different options.
