Swing Stick Question
When using the swing stick is hitting timing based only or do you need to use the batter's eye and point the left stick to the area of the pitch?

Re: Swing Stick Question
Thanks Baa. No wonder I think the ball physics are whack. What's that Batters Eye for then?Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
Whenever I play (2K6 or 2K7), I have it off. Problem is, it's not really off... it's just invisible. So when there's a pitch right down the middle, since that's where it centers, I'd know about it.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
That no doubt explains why some people are hitting so many HR's - they don't move the hitter's eye, and then whack pitches that are down the middle.Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
So it's really a 'guess pitch' feature, but without having to place your bat (which you can't do in this game) in the actual pitch location - I get it...Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
So last night I tried the using the swing stick. Is it safe to say that on the pitches that I swung and missed at that I just mistimed the swing or because the batters eye was nowhere near the location of the pitch? Would it be the same if i used classic?Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
As far as I know, yes. From trying both, and from reading the in-game instructions, there's no difference between the two other than which stick you use, along with how you move the stick when swinging.
As for the hitter's eye: it improves your chances at hitting the ball. But you can still hit the ball well if you time your swing properly, regardless of where you've set your hitter's eye.Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
Batter's eye has nothing to do with contacting the ball. As mentioned early, it is only there to guess the location and give a hint if guessed correctly. Guessing correctly or incorrectly does nothing to help you in making contact, that is all about timing.
The biggest advantage of the batter's eye is telling you whether it will be a ball or a strike.Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
Oh okay, I wondered about that. Thought it gave you a 'contact boost' if you guessed correctly.Comment

Re: Swing Stick Question
According to 2K6, this is exactly the case (with a very large sample size). According to 2K7, though it was a small sample size, this was still the case.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
