Will there be batting cages?

Will there be batting cages in RTTS or any other mode so we can practice taking swings with a player in franchise. I know that we can take swings before a game but it would add to the experience if we could go to the batting cages and practice a new batting stance. NBA 2k does something similar with shootaround where you can practice when you change your shooting form or just want to take a few shots around the court you don't get any attribute bonus but it is very useful when you are not sure if its the right form for you. This could help with timing and help those new folks new to the game having trouble with hitting.

I think this could work well in The show

I would like to see a pre game batting practice for the player lock feature in franchise mode. Plus the option to wear the practice jerseys instead of the full uniform. And even better have a coach do the pitching from behind the L screen. Too bad we're never going to see any of this though.

Maybe I misunderstood this, and if I did I apologize, but don't the coaches already do the pitching from behind the L screen every game..? Unless you are referring to something different that I totally missed.

I would like to see the practice jerseys before the game, too. Just added details. Batting cages would be an amazing addition as well if done right. I can't imagine it won't be in at some point down the road.

Re: Will there be batting cages?

For some reason, reading the title of the thread reminds me of the beginning of the World Series baseball commercial with Pedro Martinez from the DreamCast. Not sure why, but that commercial has stuck with me through all these years

I wouldn't say never, just maybe not the 1st year on the PS4.
