Signature swings part of the new signature style?

[ericjwm]

Can anyone tell if they have Ichiro's signature running swing in the game, by this picture? It doesn't look like it to me.... Although I'm not sure the exact point at which he starts his lean, turn & run. So it might be impossible to tell by this pic.
But if they were going to include signature style, that should include unique player swings as well.

Yeah I don't know they had it in MVP, so you never know they might have it this year. Blzer might know when he leaves the box, I have no idea, but with the MVP guy working there he might have added that in. The show might too.

I know for a fact Ichiro drags his left foot when hitting. Looks like hes doing it there...

But it still doesn't look like he's leaning quite enough. Maybe theres hope though, as those do look pretty similiar in form.

It's amazing that EA had that in MVP 2005 & its still not in the Show or 2K7(well it MIGHT be in this yrs games).
But I think it negatively effected Ichiros performance in MVP (at least for me), as I couldn't hit with him at all. They have to program the AI in certain ways to go along with signature swings. So if done wrong, it could be disastrous for certain batters that have them.

I heard signature strides/swings/follow-throughs are coming next year.

I hope Ken Griffey Jr. isn't retired by next year.

I didn't actually play as the Mariners much. So I guess what I should of said was, when I'd play against him..... I owned him. All he ever seemed to do was ground out whenever I faced him.

I would absolutely CRUSH with Ichiro! The best thing to do was just try and swing early and hit a bomb to right.

Hmmmmm, well I haven't played MVP 05 in quite sometime. But I do know that his personalized swing effected him in a different way.... whether it was negative or positive is debatable. All I remember is him grounding out an awful lot when I happen to face him. Maybe there was something wrong with the PS2 version or something?

Re: Signature swings part of the new signature style?

I could've sworn I read an article that said Ichiro's swing would be in the game.

Could be my imagination though.

Yo mjb, anyword from Steve on when those interview Q's will be posted?
I think I asked about signature swings as one of my Q's... so maybe we'll get this solved.
