It's ALLLLLL about Major League Baseball Feat. Ken Griffey Jr on the N64. That game was the all time greatest in baseball gaming. The Hitting reticle had been done several times before but none did it as good as ken griffey junior baseball.
With the reticle, getting a hit was really in your hands. You could see where you missed the ball, or just got over it, under it etc. With games nowadays, i can't tell you how many times i've sworn to hit the ball perfectly only to hit a duck fart or chopper. Hitting was not only challenging, but fun in that game.
If MLB the show would only include an option like that to turn on or off, they'd not only be appealing to the hardcore baseball fans, but to the casual arcade baseball fan as well. I miss it and want it back.
Overall that game was just really well done. There weren't game altering glitches. You could tell where the ball was off the bat and get a good enough jump to make diving plays or big plays. There wasn't lag, or pre-rendered animations where the computer takes over your player as he gets close to the ball.
That's one thing i don't like about THE SHOW. Sometimes i miss judge a ball and dive when i shouldn't. But by that time my character has already started the pre rendered animation and nothing happens. I WANT to have control over my players. I WANT to miss the ball by diving past it. At least i'm responsible for any great or terrible plays.
I remember playing griffey with friends and often it would come down to one or two plays in that game that meant winning or losing. It was so well crafted that each player was really in charge of whether they won or lost. I miss those days.
