    Re: 2D Hitting Help

    Hey thanks for the tips...I didn't even realize the hot/cold zones. Another question--should I be aiming the cursor right on the ball or slightly up or down? Thanks again. As far as walks, I really try to be patient as you have stated. I almost always don't swing at the 1st pitch and really try to approach it like a real at bat. This game actually will work the hitter which is great. I am really glad I gave this game another chance.

      Re: 2D Hitting Help

      As you probably know the crosshairs inside the 2D target represent the sweetspot of the bat. So I try to get the cross hairs to the middle of the ball. Now it does not always happen but when it does it can go a long way. The more of the cross hair you get on the ball the harder the ball is hit and the better you have of getting a hit. Then when you get it done in the hot zone, it has a good chance of being a HR. Of course sometimes I have put the cross hairs right on the ball in the cold zone and that is when I normally crush it but its right at someone. I strike out about 4-7 times a game and get anywhere from 6-14 hits. My low was being 3hit and my high was 17. The most runs I have scored has been 8 on this level so I am really liking how its going. Every game feels much more intense especially when its a 1 or 2 run game.

            Thanks for all of your help. It has made the game especially challenging and intense. I love that you actually have to think about how to hit and where to pitch. Good stuff and thanks again.

                  BTW--As far as timing--am I right to assume that you have to swing a little later than most games?

                        Yeah you can't swing directly after the ball is released, which makes going against Nolan Ryan impossible, literally. His fastball comes in amazingly fast and basically you can't ever catch up to it because the game won't let you swing early. This is on Sim speed however... On Classic you can catch up to it.

                              I have the same problem with 2D non -hitting..nothing but lazy fly balls and a weak grounder mixed in now and then. .. I get 4 or 5 hits a game. Always homeruns when I guess the location right or a single that trickles through the middle..That's it...Not even any variety in my outs...always the same..flyballs or groundballs to the middle third of the field. The next linedrive I see will be the first.

                              It's driving me nuts enough to have to give up on the game. I bought the game for the manage only mode, but the offense on that is broken. 3D, zone and timing hitting are all too easy.
