Cant wait to hit from broadcast view!

[SickDL]

Im sticking with catcher view for batting mainly cause I like to switch the view, so I can see more of the stadium and the field. Having them both on broadcast you only see the stadium behinde the batter. And I like to see both

Thats why i am always pissed this game never allows you to see where the ball is going after you make contact in this view.

The catcher DOES put down real signs, corresponding to the pitch button

1 finger=X button
2 finger=O button
3 fingers=Triangle
4 fingers=Square
5 fingers =R1

I love the view it's great but I can't hit that good from it. espsically the ones where the angle is tricky to pick what pitch it is

Yup. Turn on API and watch what the catcher's calling - he'll put down the number of fingers that corresponds to the pitch API is telling you to throw. He'll also give you a left or right sometimes with his hand after he's done making the pitch type signal.

He has one for Pitchouts and intentional walks too, but I don't remember them.

hmm, never knew the catcher signs were right. i've been hitting from broadcast view since i can remember. glad i find it easy to not pay attention to the catcher. i'd hate to have to call in the MIB guys to flashy thing me, as i've just read the previous posts in this thread.
