Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
I was hitting loads of HR's on Pro, but All-Star is a different story. I can barely get it out of the infield. Last game I hit a 3 run shot with Pujols though, so that's encouraging.The greatest team in the history of sports.

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
Apparently no one has extolled the virtues of recycled paper to them yet. I swear, the rental instructions back in the day were bigger than 2K's stuff this year, and those games had 2 buttons!Comment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
I played 2 games last night and hit 4 hrs, I just cant pitch at all with the new pitching system. I dont understand it at all.
But I really do like the new 2.0 swing stick, I really like the hit variety.ND Season Ticket Holder since '72.Comment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
when you go to hit the ball, do you load up once the pitcher starts his movement, or when? i couldn't get it right when i tried this morning, i hit the ball, just little bloopers, although Howard got decent contact on it.Philadelphia Phillies

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? ThanksWhen you see it...you'll know what it is...Comment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
Same here, getting a hit on All-Star is very hard. Making contact is no problem, but I just can't seem to get a solid rip off the pitch. Can someone confirm as to whether pulling back the right stick earlier help load up hitting power?Comment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
I can definitely see how the Swing Stick isn't for everyone (it sure as hell wasn't for me last year) but they did improve it quite a bit, IMO.
In 2K7 almost every time you got a hold of a pitch w. the swing stick it was a line drive to CF, either caught by the CF or it'd barely drop in. Now there is a very good hit variety w. the SS.
Everything is more natural, I'm not seeing any of the "I jammed him with a fastball but he hit it for an opposite field HR off the handle of the bat" nonsense that plagued 2K7."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
Just for kicks I turned on classic batting because I was doing absolutely nothing with the swing stick even on pro. I just can't time the step and then restrain myself not to swing at balls. I've never been a fan of the swing stick and this year is no different.
Classic batting is actually very good. There's alot of hit variety, alot of foul balls, and I actually found it harder to make contact than with the swing stick, striking out several times. The hit variety was good as well and I even hit one home run.
I'm still going to keep working with the swing stick, but its good to know the alternative is a pretty good fall back.Comment

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
As far as the printed docs, why can't they duplicate something like this for 2K8?

Re: Swing Stick 2.0 is messed up
I can't find the thread, but someone mentioned that "rolling" the stick seemed to help with trying to aim the ball and gave more hit variety. I have tried this in several games now and it really feels like its working. Pull back for the step(I can't time this for crap so I have the step influence turned all of way down), then roll the stick to the side you are trying to hit the ball too. Pushing outside pitches works well. Pulling inside pitches works well. Pushing inside pitches gives weak hits, foul balls, and whiffs. Pulling outside pitches does the same.Comment

funny. my only two hits are a HR and a a single up the middle. Everything else is popping up b/c i'm swinging too late.Xbone gamertag: horsehockey75Comment
