These games keep getting worse and I sure hope this is rock bottom.
Hitting is completely unrewarding unless you have perfect PCI placement and swing timing every time. I understand that not everything is a hit. But not every good PCI placement with good swing timing should be a lazy fly ball.
The game is still scripted. You can be in Competitve mode against the CPU and throw a good pitch to hit the corner and somehow the pitch ends up down the middle. Your fielders with good Reaction time can just decide this time they don't want to move until it's too late. Don't make the same mistake I made in purchasing this game. I love baseball, but avoid this game at all costs.
