    Some annoying things about HH

    I'll just post a few that really get on my nerves. I don't know why 3do made these changes but oh well.

    1) Catcher throws to 1b almost on every play. It's really bothering me to the point I don't want to play the game. Maybe once a game but when I'm getting 3 times a half inning it's crazy.

    2) All swing are upper cuts. Again why did 2do change the batting animation. I liked last year's animation but it just need better looking textures.

    3) Infielder throwing animation. Again what was wrong with last year's This year it looks as if the player is throwing a ball like he's neo in the matrix. He almost horizontal to the ground.

    I like the game a lot of they are annoying.

            How about these:

            1) multiple pick off throws to any base regardless of score or situation. You could be down 10-0 with a speedy runner on first and the cpu will throw over 3-5 times in a row.

            2) who motion-captured the lefthanded OF throwing?? It could not have been a pro or semi-pro player. Looks a bit "girlish" to me.

            3) oh my God...those whirly bird circles...ugh!

            4) been getting punched out on strikes at my shoe tops

            5) can't get a good setting for pitch speeds...there is something just not right...even maxed out appear too slow.

            6) and yes..the swing animation is horrible. Like the guys are swing 40 once bats...with a sweeping uppercut motion. Slow, unnatural, and not realistic looking at all.

                The catcher constantly trying to pick runners of 1st and 3rd is annoying to me, too. Too bad there's not a Tune slider to adjust the frequency of this. I don't mind the pickoff attempts by the pitcher, but 8 games into my Franchise, I've seen more catcher pickoff attempts than probably happen in a whole season for the entire Major Leagues.

                I don't have a whole lot of problems with HH2004, but another gripe I have is of the baserunner animations. Ever notice how the players run straight to the base and turn on a dime and head to the next base? The frustrating thing is that little animation of the guy running out the grounder, then veering off into foul territory after crossing the bag. If they can do that, why can't they make the runners use angles and so forth when rounding the bags? The way they round the bags now looks like something you'd see 10 years ago in a baseball video game.

                    I haven't once had the catcher attempt a pick-off....maybe it's because I haven't extended my lead often.(XBOX version)
                    teaching.............still fun

                    video games........I wish my boys would let me play

                    watching Tottenham vs. Liverpool at White Hart Lane............2004 was a long time ago

                        I have the PS2 version, but I RARELY extend my lead because all that does is make the pitcher try pickoff attempts over and over. Also, I could maybe understand a few of the pickoff attempts if it was to try to hold a fast runner closer, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to who they'll try to pick off. You know it's bad when the catcher is trying to pick off freakin Greg Maddux, like he's going anywhere but a foot from the bag.

                            i have never seen the CPU catcher try to pick me off once yet.
                            But i have the seen the pitcher throw to 1st and/or to 3rd about a million times a game.
                            But the thing that gets me mad is that no matter how fast your guy is or if his baserunning awareness is the best in baseball if the CPU has a lefty on the and you push the lead button twice 9 out of 10 times he will get picked off and the same goes for the righties at 3rd base side.
