Directional Hitting is more fun

[LuvMyXBOX_XBL]

I had been a zone hitter since the ps2 days. then like 5 years ago switched over to directional.

For 25, I went back to Zone using the Strike Zone camera as majority of ppl recommended. Just to change things up since every year the game tends to be the same.

I enjoy Zone and am learning the nuancies of it. Played some online games with it and it was decent.

Then out of the blue I went back to Directional last night in an unranked online game. Switched over to catcher camera too.

Wow it was so much more fun to play! Maybe it was the camera since you actually feel like you're playing baseball since you get to see the entire field and the position players and the entire stadium! Instead of that strike zone camera where you're only concenrating on that small strike zone box.

Also I was doing a whole lot better. Was able to jack some HRs out too vs the opponent. Maybe it is eaiser as some say but it can be challenging at times too.

I'm not sure now what to do. Continue with Zone or go back to Directional.

You must have like a 300-400 rank

I'd say do whatever feels good to you. If you are having fun, keep doing what you're doing.

I play directional with, catcher near, zoom, catcher far, catcher or custom 3 depending on how I'm seeing the ball and it's so much more fun and just better in every possible way for me. I'm 57 and the game resembles what we grew up with and, frankly what I prefer. I don't want all the extra [censored] on my screen and I don't need some extreme form of input to make it more fun. Harder does not always equal more immersion or fun or enhance game play. What it's good for is bragging rights and some form of bravado ...I prefer to chill out, relax, and play a game that resembles a baseball game not a carnival game of swing the funky looking quotation thing with dots in the middle and have that dot hit that dot and squiggly line and that equals a hit! Sweet...not to mention every single "new" method has been done over the last 30 years...pulse, pci, timing, directional etc...none of this is new...it's just been adopted as "meta" because it's sweaty. Enjoy...you're not alone in your thinking.
