Re: Batter's Eye Slider

Nobody can answer my question??

I bet BigFnJoe could, or Mkharsh33. I'd assume it's related to pitch type, but I can't say for sure. Unfortunately, 2K gives us crap for game manuals. Have you tried just googling a query and seeing what comes up? There may be info out there on this topic outside of OS.

The colors have to do with pitch type. This feature was taken directly from MVP.

EA’s solution to this uses color codes for each pitch that let’s a batter know exactly what to expect. For instance, if you see a green ball icon around the pitcher’s release point then you know to pause for a moment because this pitch is a change-up. Red denotes a bender which is perhaps the most important pitch to look for. If a red ball icon appears and the pitch is coming inside (from a right handed pitcher on a right handed batter) then you may want to stick in there because it will most likely be a strike. Fastballs appear with a white icon which is a great clue, especially when the pitcher is throwing over ninety miles an hour. A purple icon equals a sinker pitch which immediately lets gamers know that their fly ball swing isn’t gonna’ work unless the ball floats up in the zone. Even knuckleballs get their own color which doesn’t matter as much since these are highly unpredictable pitches no matter how early you know it is coming

hope this helps
