ezdriver Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I was curious as to what the most popular player views are in this game. I know that there are quite a few different options available, but I think these are probably the most popular. I myself use the KSM Pitcher view#6 and Abhall's Batter view#5. When batting, I seem to have a heck of a time picking up high or low pitches when using True's view 4. I'm always flailing away at bad pitches. I have started to use abhall's HH low batting view#5, and get a great view on pitches coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I use hitters eye (view 1) EA's default both on offense & defense. (but I basically don't play against the computer anyway. I play against friends, both hotseat & over the internet in peer to peer games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezdriver Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 I use hitters eye (view 1) EA's default both on offense & defense. I played with that view for awhile and found that I really liked it. But, I also saw something really strange with it as well. It seemed that there was a different perspective from a right handed to a left handed batter. For instance, I had my first 3 left handed batters come to the plate and all was well and good. Then, a righty came to the plate and it looked like the pitcher was moved back about 10 feet further. I tried it in several different stadiums with the same effect, and just couldn't get used to it, so I switched to BV#5 when batting. Really strange. ez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 wow... I never noticed that before. I will keep a lookout for that. Edit: I just tested it out & the pitcher looks the same distance to me with both right handed & left handed batters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett67 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I use Iggybod's (or whatever his name is) camera mod with the fisheye view.. I think that is the best batting view... but to answer the question, I use Pitching 6/ Batter 4 with the above mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Unit Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Stocks here play the best by far for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is to similate the lefty/righty, righty/righty, lefty/lefty match-ups. You get a better angle when you have a left handed batter facing a right handed pitcher or a right handed batter facing a left handed pitcher, where as you have a worse angle when you have a lefty on lefty or righty on righty. You're not further or closer, it's the angle that changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralysis Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 True's datafile and cams with 6 pitcher and 3 batter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The H Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 For me, it varies... one game it'll be 'Pared's Pitcher view#6, Abhall's Batter view#5' and the next will be 'Pared's Pitcher view#6, Trues' Batter view#4'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenDammit Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I use the hitters eye stock view...seems ok to me, although I would like to try out some datafiles, I'm weary of these different cams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not further or closer, it's the angle that changes. I found out what was causing that strange effect. I had modded the datafile by importing some of KSM's camera views, and one of his batterview 1 camera angles was causing it. I just reverted it back to the default view and all is well and good again. ez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhall Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 For me, it varies... one game it'll be 'Pared's Pitcher view#6, Abhall's Batter view#5' and the next will be 'Pared's Pitcher view#6, Trues' Batter view#4'. Ironically, I do something similar. I recently just came out of a long slump where for about 7 games I couldn't hit the ball to save my life. So I decided to mix up my camera views slightly. Now, I use abhall batting view#5 and a modified version of Trues #4 (I zoomed out the pitcher some more to my liking). I'm better at picking up pitch location with #5, but better at picking up pitch speed with #4. I usually go with #5, but if I face a hard fastball pitcher I go with #4 to keep from getting blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezdriver Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Abhall: I just gotta say I love your batterview#5. It really gives me an excellent view of pitches in or out of the zone as well as any breaking balls. I believe you had said that it was an old HH view that you had modded. The only problem I have when using it, like you stated, is picking up the speed of some pitches. My question to you is...what settings would I mod if I wanted to pull back another foot or two from it's present view. I think that would allow me to see "speed" a little bit better. Otherwise, it's excellent. Thanks. ez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin_Joe Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I like ksm's pitcher view 6 and ea's default batter 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxscpo Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I like the default center view from behind the batter. Seems I get more hits and less strikeouts per game using this view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
