In the video streams I remember them using directional hitting and talking about how it really helps certain approaches. Like, we've said, say you've got a 3-1 or 2-0 count, you can sit on that fastball inside, or wherever. On the videos it showed them holding the analog down in a particular direction, basically looking for that location. If it wasn't there, they didn't swing. I guess my question is this, why would you EVER do that? Why not watch the pitch and try to pick up on where it's going and THEN move the analog stick in the correct direction? It seems completely useless to ever move in a particular direction until after the pitch is thrown. I'm going to tinker with directional some more tonight for sure but as it stands I think I'll be turning the camera shift and the yellow indicators off. That way it's practically MVP's hitting engine. Recognize pitch, adjust, and swing.

Because of its a 3-0 count...you don't just swing at any pitch in the strike zone you want YOUR pitch. So for me depending on the batter I would probably expect a fastball and would want to pull it so I would move the directional hitting to my pull side and if it's in my zone that I am looking for I'm taking a hack at it. If not I'm not swinging even if it's a strike. Players do that all the time, just like when they are looking for a certain pitch in certain situations. But of course you don't use this for every pitch
