Just for clarification purposes, I have no problem hitting in The Show 09, so that is not why I wrote what I did about batting. If anything I find the hitting system to be too easy- currently batting .415 as a team in my dynasty on the 2nd hardest difficulty. With a tweaked slider set in MVP I always felt challenged when stepping to the dish, especially with scrub hitters.
SCEA can post as many facts as they want about their hitting system- the bottom line is that in my opinion, I feel as if user control is being removed in an effort to create a more statistically realistic experience. It's almost as if I can tell I am playing against cpu logic telling me what I can and can not hit as opposed to me making the adjustments on my own. I have run into multiple games where I am able to initiate the exact same hit variation/animation 4-5 times in a row just by nailing swing timing at a certain location.
My point was that MVP's system gave the user far more control to do what they wanted through the zone. The MVP system felt completely organic in that mid swing adjustments felt completely dictated by the users actions. When I play the Show, I feel like there is some kind of disconnect from my virtual batter. It's a difficult feeling to explain, but I think there are a lot of MVP 05 hitting fans out there who know where I am coming from.
