Do you only have to time your swing correctly (when the bigger reticle shrinks to the same size as the ball) or do you have to move your aim reticle over the ball as well (I'm playing with Zone hitting)?

Most likely it's gone.

Most people probably had no clue it existed, so their data showed nobody used it and it was removed.

You don't need to do anything. It will fix itself. I have seen this a ton and never had an issue.

Damn....it's too bad as that's something that really made RttS stand out for me. I don't know why they would take it out though, even if few used it. It can't take any work at all to move that from one game to the next can it?

About those new swing types, how do I tell what type of swings a player has and what button it's associated to? Or are the new swing types just cosmetic and the circle button will always be the one with the most contact, and square the one with the most power?

I'll never use a power swing with a lead-off guy, but if square is now a slap hit or something I need to know.

I don't believe your type of swing affects the type of animation you see.

I use the power/contact swing a lot and don't see a difference in the animation.

Oh ok. I guess it's not a swing selection thing, but more variety in the types of swings that each player can have.

That's cool I can dig it. Just a simple misunderstanding, thank you Speedy.

Can you turn the infield shift graphic off?! It shows up every batter
