So, if the game's default 3D cursor batting interface isn't to your liking, you can drop the 3D part of cursor, or even drop the cursor altogether to make the batting element a traditional timing exercise.

Yes! I loathed that 3D part when batting using the cursor. I found myself not using it in last year's game. Good to see there will be an option to turn it off.

Yeah, overall I thought it was a good preview. I'm really looking forward to ASB this year.

Well crap. A complaint about ASB that I have had in the past? Lifeless color choice, making the game look drab. Not anymore!



The new fielding camera looks very nice indeed:


Finally, now that we can turn off the 3D part of the cursor, I'm clueless as to what game to purchase after High Heat. It looks like I'll have to spend $20 in rentals...

CHA-CHING!!! I'm very happy to hear this. Should help cut down on my strikeouts.

So it is safe to say that the pitching speeds haven't been tweaked, but the bating module has?

Which wouldn't be a bad thing. As long as, like Redfield said, it reduces the number of strikeouts on the users part.
