Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
After getting used to swing stick 2.0 i find it great. question tho i know i can directional hit by pushing the right analog stick in that direction, but does the left analog stick do anything, do i need to aim where the ball is with the left analog stick or is it purely timing and no need to locate the ball with the left stick? ThanksComment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
Some tips from you vets with the Swing Stick would be GREATLY appreciated as I'm finding things to be very difficult to hit. I stink at reading pitches as it is, but doing that and trying to get the timing down with the stick.... UGH. It's maddening. Any hints you fellas have for timing or style would be huge, I'd like to not go back to classic swing.Comment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
I'm certainly not giving up, I've had some success already (lining a few doubles here and there, stroking a home run with Abreu and getting the homer cam for it, slapping a triple with Cano) - but I got quickly humbled doing a minor league game and getting shut out by Norfolk while losing 1-0.Comment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
I thought I was reading in some previews that the Swing Stick 2.0 was taking the contact/power out of the swings? Im looking at the manual and it says here.
Contact Drive Swing (Pull Back & Release)
Power Swing (Pull Back & Push Forward)
Defensive Swing (Push Forward)
Check Swing (Pull back immediately after swing has started)
Am I reading this correctly? I just thought that it was pull back and push forward. Forward and to the left to go to 3rd. Forward and to the right to go down 1st. I guess I was reading all of the previews wrong. It feels the same as last year.Moderator

The pitching is going to take some getting used to for me. I got lit up for 11 runs in the 1st by the Cubbies.RIP #21

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
I think they just screwed up with the manual and put last year's instructions in it. I too had problems with getting the players to swing. You can only take a normal swing or bunt this year. How far you hit the ball is all based on player ratings, timing of your swing, type of pitch, where it crosses the plate, etc.....XBL Gamertag: hoos4974

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
Guys, they messed up the manual.
All swings in 2.0 are back and forward. That's it.
Contact/Defensive/Power are not user-instructed. It is based on IE and ratings.
You can lock this up because the question has been answered."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
this is messed up for people that don't go to OS or other gaming sites. i really thought i was doing something wrong, or maybe the game was broken, until i came here and read this. sucks for all the people who will play the game just thinking it doesn't work.

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
My only gripe with the new hit stick 2.0 is the fact that in over 12 games or so played, I've yet to hit anything resembling a homerun.
Last year's hit stick was a HR bonanza.
Frustrating.Comment
