Another Year of the Show Completely Wasted

The other provided the hitter a hint, which was the type of pitch and the general location. Just as the pitcher released the pitch, you would see the top, bottom, inside, or outside border of the strike zone flash. The pitch may or may not be a strike, but it helped you focus on location. It would also occasionally flash the entire border of the zone, which meant that I was going to be a strike, regardless. But this happened randomly. It was half to 3/4 of the pitches Pujols saw, but a lesser hitter might be lucky to get the warning once in an at-bat. It really worked to give you the feeling of confidence when using a great hitter, and the struggle of having to work harder if you were an average to below average hitter. The lack of this is one of the reasons I tend to just not enjoy hitting in The Show as much.

It's been so long since I have played MVP05, but how did they structure their clutch system? Do you know?

I may be wrong but I think mvp had an extremely similar attribute setup to the Show, but no clutch, or vision (they did have discipline) and no catcher block IIRC
