What hitting camera will you be using this year?

Yup, that's the default. I actually still pop the game in once in a while for the hell of it

Here's an unmodded pic... I didn't even notice the WGN ticker on that first one when I post it, lol:

THIS is what I want. Look how much closer the pitcher looks. I LOVED this camera.

In The Show, all it would take to achieve this same look is just a slight tweak to the default hitting cam to change up the "focal point" (maybe that isn't the right terminology and I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I know that the button to change the effect on the replays is called that).

I know it's seemingly a minor thing...but I think that the slight tweak would make a big difference for hitting, and after waiting all winter knowing we now had the ability to edit the cameras, I thought this would finally be fixable. Maybe I'm dwelling but it's just frustrating that's the one thing left out of the custom camera editor.

It's amazing how you can spend years playing a game but after a year or so with something better it suddenly looks so dated. Of course, there's a big difference playing it out of the box from the fully modded version on the PC, which is what I played.

I'll be trying to recreate the MLB 2K10 batting cam

That looks like one of the Wide Default camera angles.

Re: What hitting camera will you be using this year?

if you havent tried WIDE cam, give it a shot for an inning.

I believe its similar to View 5 on MVP, which was the best IMO.

You can see the whole field, plus the pitcher is farther away so it gives me ample time to read the pitch.

I have a feeling this will be the go-to cam for a lot of people...

Broadcast all the way. I like playing the game like it is interactive television.

It can be a bit difficult, but it just looks fantastic.

Me too...Bring on the challenge

Broadcast all the way, I'm excited to see Seattle's and Texas's cams.

Re: What hitting camera will you be using this year?

I tried catcher 3 and I liked it. I think im going to stick with that when the retail game comes out.

Re: What hitting camera will you be using this year?

I messed with each one for hours last year, finally settling on Wide, normal.
I like being able to see the entire field, and it tends to give an extra split second to read the pitch.

Wide Offset for me. I tried catcher 5, and while I liked it, as someone else said, I was getting blown away by fastballs because they get on you so fast. I was late on everything, even on the lowest pitch speed.

Wide Offset is great for picking up breaking pitches, and I can actually judge inside and outside really well. My hitting was atrocious on all other cameras I tried, but i'm making much better contact now. I suggest everyone give it a shot if you are having problems with cameras that are straight on.

Yeah it put the pitcher further back giving the illusion of seeing the bar a bit longer.

I also pitch in the camera mode.

Re: What hitting camera will you be using this year?

I've decided to go with a new approach this year. Since MLB '07: The Show, I have only ever used the classic catcher camera to hit. After playing a good amount of games with the demo, and fiddling around with different camera choices, I think I have decided I will use Wide Offset this year. Something just "clicked" when I started using it. I think I will enjoy playing my games with this camera angle this year.

Re: What hitting camera will you be using this year?

Yah so... Wide Offset is freakin' awesome... never played with anything but Catcher before... I think that's about to change!

Re: What hitting camera will you be using this year?

Been tryin' out more cameras...

wide, wide offset, Catcher 3 ....those were favorites for most, but I'm stickin' with....

..Catcher 5.


It's the ONLY camera where you get to see the ENTIRE scoreboard (including the clock), and you get to see the MOST of the BEAUTIFUL NEW SKIES!!!!!

Yah, that's the other one I keep liking... and for the same reason, lol! One of my other reasons though, is that, if I get both games, Catcher 5 is similar to the hitting view in 2K, so going back and forth between the two games should be easier.

Re: What hitting camera will you be using this year?

I actually might try to hit from the Outfield view this year, with analog hitting.

I can't freakin' wait to try this. I may have to try to play at a lower level hitting wise but I'm willing to do it just to have a full broadcast experience.

You want to look at backstops for 9 innings?! I couldn't do it dude...The game is built this year to see the whole stadium while batting, imo.
