The Load and Swing animation really bothers me

[skinz]

After seeing the previous videos and recently seeing the 360 video in the POTD, the load and swing animation really bothers me. It looks like a attempt to show the batter stride after swinging but instead looks like a pause. Am I the only one to notice that? I mean even for the 360 version, every batter have the same stride because of the load and swing mechanism.

I'm not bashing the game but this is truly unacceptable for a company to continue to do this. Is the budget that tight that they can't upgrade certain things?

I didnt notice it as much, it could have been latency in the video as well. May be something that looks smoother on your own TV or monitor.

Every preview claims the hitting is much smoother than the pre-gen.

My only concern is that if you dont aim/manipulate the ball with the left stick (pull or slap hitting) like most baseball games, it is done on the right stick (same stick as the hitting), how can you try to "manipulate" the ball (left/right) if the stick is used at that split second of contact in a back forward motion?

I watched the hitting video, and it showed it all on the same stick. Very consfusing.

I don't like it. I just use the classic way of hitting.

In the classic way, could the left analog be used to manipulate a pull, slap, pop fly, grounders like most baseball games?

There seems to be a hitch in the swing,or something to that effect.

Yes.
