Dustin Ackley

What needs to be updated: In-game he has a one-handed follow through; he actually follows through with two hands. Also his feet need to be closer together, here are some pics:

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Without having the game on and looking through them all, the first 2 that jump out are Buster Posey and Aaron Hill. Both have open stances in real life and somehow haven't been updated to have open stances either of the last 2 years. I'll look at more soon or I can help you out like I did a few years ago Ramone

For one, Jonny Gomes' stance and follow-through should probably be looked at for an update/improvement:

In real life, Gomes' stance involves alot more movement of the arms and rocking back and forth than what is reflected in-game.

As for his swing/follow-through, I'm not sure if you are capable of giving players unique swings (like giving Jack Cust a big upper cut), but if possible it would be cool to add Gomes' flat two-handed swing and follow-through.

EDIT: Something within the MLB links is being regarded as a curse word so the links won't work. I'll try to figure it out.

EDIT 2: This is the best I could do.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Player Name: Jose Bautista
What needs to be updated: Needs to be crouched lower with the bad waggling directly above his head, rather than way up in the air.

Player Name: Yunel Escobar
What needs to be updated: Needs to be not closed, with his foot sticking up in the air, with the Pujols foot turn, and a two hand follow through.

Player Name: Adam Lind
What needs to be updated: Needs to be slightly open, not completely open, with foot in the air, and slight bat movement, not fast.

Player Name: Brett Lawrie
What needs to be updated: Needs a little more bat movement, up and down, and no high leg kick

Player Name: J.P. Arencibia
What needs to be updated: It'd be perfect if he weren't open, and more often then not he finishes with 2 hands

Ike Davis- Drastically changed his. Dropped his hands down, and no longer has an open stance

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Player Name: Ike Davis
What needs to be updated: Hands, feet and movement. His stance his very different than it was in 2010(the batting stance that he has in MLB 12 the show). His hands are way lower, around his belt buckle, and he has them about a few inches outward. Also, his feet are very spread apart and his front foot is about 4-9 inches to the right, both of his feet are not even with each other. He usually moves his bat up and down a few inches while batting, I'd say about 2-3 inches up, than down.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Player Name: Jason Bay
What needs to be updated: Bat movement, feet, hands, and crouch. He went back to the stance he had from his Pittsburgh and Boston days. His legs are about a foot apart (the front foot is about a foot apart from his back foot), his bat his held about head high, he has a little bat wiggle, and he is crouched a little more than slightly.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Player Name: David Wright
What needs to be updated: The stride, and hands. David Holds his bat about letter high(where Mets is on the jersey) now, he switched this this year and it's helped tremendously. Also, he doesn't have a leg kick, he has a minor toe tap just before the pitch gets to the plate. And another thing on the bat, he moves it up to his neck and then back down to the letters on the jersey once to twice per at bat..

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Player Name: Daniel Murphy
What needs to be updated: feet, hands and bat movement. The stance for Murph in MLB 12 the show is the one he had from 2008-2009, he has changed it a lot since. His legs are now spread apart, about 5-8 inches. His bat his held at the shoulders and his outward from the shoulders by about a foot. And finally, he moves his bat slightly to the left and then back to position.

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Phillies that need updating:

Shane Victorino: now he has a bit of an open stance and the bat rests on his shoulder with a bit of movement.



Jimmy Rollins: basically his stance is closest to AJ Pierzynksi in the game. Just make it closer to that, but a bit more Jimmy-like. Must have two-handed follow through.



Placido Polanco: everything is good except for his bat movement. It needs to be more circular than back and forth in front of his face. Movement similar to the old Scott Rolen from last year, just a bit slower.



Domonic Brown: needs to be like old Ryan Doumit from last year, but one-handed follow through.



Chase Utley: needs his signature two-handed, chopping follow through. A must! Also, his bat needs to slowly alternate between resting on his shoulder and not.



Juan Pierre: needs to be almost just like Jose Molina and a one-handed follow through. Please make his head as small as possible, the man has to wear his cap under his helmet for God's sake.



John Mayberry Jr.: needs to be like Greg Dobbs, but with bat movement.



Roy Halladay (Pitching Motion): his follow through needs to be more upright. This is also a must! Everything else is good.



Cole Hamels (Pitching Motion): during his follow through, he needs to have a high leg kick, also a must!



Side note: great job on finally updating Ryan Howard!

P.S. I need a job doing this stuff for a living...

Re: PLAYER BATTING STANCES THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR MLB 13

Another thing is a lot of guys that finish with one hand, finish with 2 hands more often then not, like Bautista, Pujols, A Rod, and others i'm sure.

It's the follow through wear the players that have a one hand finish normally finish with 2 hands, and twist their body kinda thing, it's good for a lot of players because some players finish with 1 hands sometimes and 2 hands other times, but its not good for guys like Bautista, Pujols, and
A Rod.

Justin Upton

What needs to be updated: His stance in the game is too closed. His front foot is entirely too close to the plate. In reality he lines the instep of his front foot with the front of his back foot. Hard to explain but you can see it in this video.

Player Name:
Jose Bautista

What needs to be updated
His stance is open, with his left foot pointed with heel off the ground. His hands are close to his head with the bat waggling from back and then towards the pitcher. Much more crouched as well.

P.S. I know there was a recent interview with Bautista where he said he needed to come in and do a mo-cap with SCEA of his stance which would alleviate the whole issue with his stance. Hopefully he does it at the end of this season.

Player Name:
Derek Jeter

What needs to be updated:
I think what has been done to David Wright's stance was great, and I think the same attention to detail for Derek Jeter's stance would be great! His stance now has very little movement where IRL there's quite a bit of movement with his hands. There's also a toe tap.
