Wow, that's almost a gamebreaker for me. How do you promote the signature stances and not even give us the option to choose stances for created players or even to change existing players'?

What was VC thinking?

360 full version is much more smoother than the ps3 demo I played. The smoke trails are a bit over done.

u know what, Imma create a player and continue through with it. Maybe there's another screen that comes up with more options? I'll check now

Interesting. We can tone down Inside Edge for CPU and player hitters.

[~Guru~]

yea you cant edit batting stances and you cant create a player and give him one..

ohh well...

and messing with the ratings for improve pitch taking is not going to work

i just went over the ratings and none are for hitter pith selection tendency or anything that resembles a hitters patience or take a strike or ball tendency...

is all success vs lefty and right and power vs lefti and right and draw walk and running...

[Jetsfan44]

Is there an option to use regular button pitching and hitting?

I do not like using the right stick method?

I have hope two tweaks will, at the very least, tone down the number of balls hit into play.

Inside Edge sliders to zero (to reduce the number of swings) and turning down CPU Contact (to reduce the number of times it makes contact).
