Re: Slam Zone why do you think its Arcadey

The best thing about Slam Zone is that it can be TURNED OFF...That slow down and machine gun button tapping in Slam Zone totally kills the sim experience IMO.

Its like seeing the most beautiful woman in the world then you look down at her feet and she has toe jam and Bunions...eeeewwww

Re: Slam Zone why do you think its Arcadey

Why is that in the game anyways? What is it supposed to simulate?

Thats ab great question..Why didn't anyone ask the developers that question? I would have loved to hear that answer

Simulation is up to interpretation. Look - they tried something different. MVP and Sony's offering both haver mechanism where if you guess location good things happen - this was Kush's attempt at it. It looks fun and kinda cool from where I stand (and I'm 34 Afroman! ) - but again it's up to interpretaion.

At least they give us an option - and that is the most important thing.

My bad. You ever hear a player say he was "locked in" on a pitch. Or how they say they were looking for a certain pitch the whole way, etc.? I think this is trying to simuluate that feeling - the pitcher making a mistake and you getting a fat pitch to hit. My guess is the slow motion and rapid button mashing is supposed to simulate the high anxiety and tension associated with seeing the pitch and trying to nail it.

That's just my guess.

Re: Slam Zone why do you think its Arcadey

am i right in thinking that you guess before the pitch in ESPN though and in MVP and MLB you wait until it is thrown and decide where you are going to swing to hit the ball. i suppose you can wait for a pitch in mvp and mlb by holding it the whole way, but then you will only be able to hit "your pitch." in slam zone there is no downside only an upside if you guess, there is not much skill as luck in guessing where a pitcher is going to throw the ball before you even have a chance to pick it up.

The hitters eye acts as how real pros hit, they try to pick up the grip, they try to pick up the spin, when a good hitter is up or a hitter that is hot, they see the spin and grip longer/recognize it easier. it is very clever and was my biggest complaint about baseball games that you couldn't read the spin/grip like realy batters can.

who knows, even if you can turn off the slam zone thing, than maybe you won't hit homeruns as much as you should due to the game was tuned with slam zone on default. so then they are almost telling us if we want a good game we have to turn off the slam zone and test out sliders for a good couple hours to get realistic power.
