Default Re: MLB 08 THE SHOW: Tips on Batting/Pitching/Base running/Fielding

Right Stick During BAtting...

The right stick controls your high/low influence on the swing. To use it, simply flick the right stick up or down before the pitch (right after your guess, if you use that). You *don't* have to hold it up or down while trying to hit the "X" (the manual is unclear on that but, then again, the manual is unclear on a gazillion things).

If you flick up before the pitch, you'll tend to hit fly balls, if you flick down, you'll tend to hit ground balls.

Remember, however, that it only *influences* the hit. So don't expect the ball to go in one direction or the other based on your right stick only. Timing and swing matter. Or, to put it another way, if the swing without the stick would have resulted in a popup, don't expect that flicking the right stick down will turn it into a ground ball.
