Re: What hitting view are you using?

Out of all the presets, I think I'm settling with Offset. I might actually try customizing at some point though... how I wish custom cam can be used online...

Don't forget about the Vita. I'd love to use my custom camera that I have on the PS3 (Catcher Offset as a base) on the Vita.

Re: What hitting view are you using?

It's close, but I don't think it's quite the same.

I didn't like the default last year, but it's not bad this year. So either it's grown on me, or it changed a bit.

I thought default last year was perfect. I drew more walks than ever before with that camera. 13's default camera is similar, but feels a little off. I've got a nice Catcher Offset custom camera that I'm using now on the PS3 that really helps with Analog Hitting.

I'm starting with Catcher Classic 2, but then I edit it to get more to ground level. It really helps with those tricky high fastballs, and low bouncing curveballs.

@DJ, this is OT, but I just picked up another brand new MLB 11 controller, your profile pic, online for 40 bucks. Wanted a backup, b/c button contacts were wearing out my original. Shocked to find they were still out there, new, to be sold.

Best controllers ever. Feel heavier and better made than the default PS3 models IMO.

Re: What hitting view are you using?

I can't seem to find one I like. How do the custom ones work?

I use Catcher 1. The default camera made it too difficult for me to gauge the height of the pitch. Catcher 1 made it much easier for me to take pitches without drastically changing the camera.

Yeah I love that controller. Only use it when playing The Show and clean it often, but I probably should buy another one. Where'd you find it?

Re: What hitting view are you using?

^ Do share. I want one. I feel like my PS3 controller is at least 50% responsible for my Analog Pitching troubles. It's the only controller I've used since I bought my PS3 over 2 years ago, and I'm almost certain the analog sticks are a little worn out, at least.

I'm not certain if that's a long time in terms of PS3 controllers?
I never throw it but I do drop it often, and it really is the *only* controller I've used.

44 bucks at Amazon now. Got it a while back a little cheaper but this is still a decent price for an authentic PS3 controller.

Offset.It makes reading the pitch out of the pitcher's hand oh so much easier...

This. Went on there on a whim - under "PS3 accessories" - and there they were, third page in I think. Went with 2 day shipping, got it next day. 50 after ship & handling. Very, very happy to find another one brand new. Thought I was SOL forever.

Re: What hitting view are you using?

I am the same way with mine: Baseball-themed controllers are used for baseball only.

Hockey, football and shooters are all hell on sticks. Never use my Show controllers for anything but baseball. I take a Q-tip to the sticks if there is friction dust and keep them clean as poss.

Re: What hitting view are you using?

I use offset, better yet, yall should post a screen show of your batting view.

Re: What hitting view are you using?

What is the best angle for hitting low sliders? I use offset currently. i have tried every camera angle, and I still stuggle hitting the low sliders. Anderson for the A's constantly strikes me out 7 to 12 times a game with low sliders.
