Re: Timed Hitting

Ok. You have PA set 100 and you are using Timed Hitting. Can I ask you how the hell you are getting the bat on the ball????? I use 85 and scrub pitchers are striking me out left and right.
I moved my catcher cam view to medium so I can get a better look at the pitch.

I use timed hitting and I have pitching ability at 95. I strike out quite a bit and got 3-hit by the Red Sox the other night, but I am averaging 8-12 hits per game

Re: Timed Hitting

I do get a lot of hits. Maybe I should rephrase my question. How many runs?
I get about 8-9 hits with PA that high but I am not able to score because the hits do not come in bunches. They are scattered singles throught the 9 innings of play.

Re: Timed Hitting

I used to strike out all the time but I realized if I turned off the lights I saw the ball much better....pretty crazy! Anyway, I got a lot more patient, rarely swing at the first pitch. I foul off a bunch of pitches until the CPU makes a mistake. The only problem is the CPU makes too many mistakes and I get waaaaaaay too many hits!

Re: Timed Hitting

Thats the bad thing about timed hitting. Once you get your timing down vs. a certain pitcher he becomes EXTREMELY hittable. Hopefully next year SEGA will include a HH type of BPI where aiming and timing are taken into effect. The cursor style hitting reminds me of the old school Intellevision Space Battle game where I would move my "laser" sights on a moving ship and FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Timed Hitting

Yeah HH has definetly figured out the best way to do timed hitting. For me trying to aim for a pitch just takes the fun out of it. It'd be great if HH and WSB just took the good features and merged them. Then you'd have the absolute best game in town!

Re: Timed Hitting

In my opinion, aiming for a pitch, places the skill solely on the human player rather than the innate skills the ML player has. For example, I might try to aim with Bonds, miss the ball and pop out every time. But with Timed Hitting, if I get the timing right, it is up to the skills Bonds possesses to determine whether that ball makes it to the outfield and drops in for a base hit.
