    Is it possible to work the count and get walks?

    I have read the batting is entirely timing based? If this is so, is it possible to get walks? Does the hitting get easy after learning the new system? Any info would be appreciated.

            And after reading the initial post, timing-based batting and walks are irrelevant to each other because to draw a walk, the batter doesn't swing....

                I find myself working deep into counts in this game more than any other. With cursor batting, I almost reflexively swing as I aim (I know, this is my own damned fault). What separates MVP from the others is the mistake pitch icon. I find myself taking at least one strike looking for a mistake pitch to drive. A simple, brilliant innovation, IMO.

                    I totally agree.....when I am busy lining up the cursor to the ball, i am far less likely to really read the pitch and really think about patience. I think I just get so keyed up to get the cursor lined up that I swing based on whether my aim lined up regardless of whether it was a good pitch to drive or not.

                        In MVP, there have been pitches where I said man I should have swung then not get a good pitch for the rest of the at bat. I never feel that way with the cursor, it's just line it up and swing no matter the count.
