Which do you prefer: the icon batting such as World Series Baseball or the non-icon timed swing batting of High Heat?
And while we're on the subject, which do you prefer: one swing button such as High Heat or contact button and power button, such as WSB? Personally, I prefer non-icon High Heat hitting simply because I feel it adds a touch of realism to it. I mean, when a pitch is coming in at 97 mph, do real players actually see the ball so well that they can aim for the bottom of the ball? No. I feel that timed hitting adds a bit of depth to the simulation aspect of the game. Real players don't have icons on the ball so why should we if we desire a simulation?
I also prefer the conventional one-button swing simply because when there is more than one button to hit, we gamers usually tend to hit the power button all the time, as it usually results in more hits. Plus, if you don't hit it as often, then you will have Barry Bonds batting .370 with 4 homeruns and 16 RBI's. One-button swinging is better for creating realistic stats.
