I know, I know....they stated it was zone in the "unofficial" feature list. This got me thinking they were going back to Left Stick + Push a Button to implement zone hitting. Then the official list comes out, which doesn't list "zone hitting", but Swing Stick Advanced which let's you "influence and aim". My first thought....AWESOME, Swing Stick + zone hitting. But then I read the language and the word "zone" wasn't there.....

And I don't know what the alternative would be if it's not zone hitting. Zone hitting has been defined in numerous posts here over the years and I hope they are close to that model, not some goofy new hitting mechanic they came up with. I guess we'll just have to wait to see how they implement the new swing stick.
