It gets very frustrating, I know I can lower the difficulty but I do want a challenge, I don't want to be one of them guys who puts it on rookie, dominates and claim I am great at the game.
What camera view do you use? I have tried Fish Eye and also made my own custom view to see if that viewing angle could help me. I also wanted to ask when you are using analog hitting with stride, when do you begin to push down on the analog stick to begin your stride as I believe that could play a big role in getting a hit or getting cheap groundout/flyouts.
I watch the CPU on replay to see when they start to stride and typically it seems they do when the pitcher is at his release point or he has just released the pitch. I do use guess pitch but mainly to guess fastball high. If you guess wrong is the penalty so big that if you make contact its pretty much a guaranteed out?
Sorry this is so long, I am just desperate to be able to hit and enjoy this game as I have gotten pitching down pat. I know there are some intelligent folks on these forums who have helped me in the past.
