    Anyway to turn off strike zone, but still have batter's eye?

    Anyway to turn off the squares inside the strike zone? Or do I have to turn the whole thing off? and if I turn the whole thing off, anyway to keep to where they will guess on? I am really struggling hitting and I'm on Pro, been shutout for like 3 games in a row. Thanks! Also, any other tips on hitting? I'm really struggling and its starting to make me get frustrated whenever I play the game. I go to extra's because I dominate at pitching, and get straight dominated while I'm batting.
    (Note: I understand I'm doing good pitching because of the level...I will up it once I get ahold of the batting).

    Edited, didn't mean batter's eye, meant the thing where they guess pitches.

      I don't think so, unfortunately.

        Dang, because I love having it off, but I also like having it to where my better hitters will be able to pick up on pitches. I did notice that if before the at bat, I go in and change the strike zone to on, and the outside K-zone(what does this do?), will make it to where I can only see the edges of the strike zone, all that tint isn't in there, and I like it, but after one pitch it goes back to the other way, not really worth it to go in and do that every time. Anybody know how to keep it like that?

          Why does everyone like the strike zone off? I don't think I'd be as good at drawing walks if I had it off. Does it really make it easier?

            It just makes it much easier to pick the ball up out of the pitcher's hand, which in turn makes it easier to time your swing.

            In my opinion, it makes a world of difference.

              It makes the hot/cold zones appear when pitching.

                Molarmite- like nuggett said, it helps to pick up the ball. I tend to lose it on the top of the strike zone because of the tint. I am experimenting with the camera angles though to see if I can get one where I can leave strike zone on.

                Gilgamesh- thanks man! was wondering what it did.

                  Well, you never know until you try

                  And I actually find the hitter's eye (or whatver it's called, that tips off pitches) to be too distracting and it's often misleading. It's much easier for me to work the count on my own when I don't have all that junk in the way. I have no problem drawing walks and it feels more realistic with all that stuff off, and it is easier to concentrate on the ball as it leaves the pitcher's hand.

                    I don't like the strike zone on while I bat. I can see better without it and the 'tip' was way to distracting as well. Problem is, I like the zone on while pitching. Why is there no option for this? There is on, off, batting. WTF, how about on for just pitching? If is wasn't for that distracting 'tip' I could almost deal with the zone while I am batting because then I would at least have it for pitching but the 'tip' is just way to annoying so I have to turn the zone off for everything :-(
