Check Swings all the same!

[mike75]

Is it just me or are all check swings the same in MLB The Show?

What I mean is every time I do a check swing the bat seems to go the same length. And sometimes the ump calls it a swing and sometimes they don't.

I feel there needs to be more variety in the check swings.

Check Swings in 3DO High Heat Baseball were a lot better then in MLB The Show.

Sony should really look into fixing the check swing system.

What do you guys think?

I think MVP had the best check swings of any baseball game I have played. They need to get it like that.

I've seen the bat checked at different angles. What appears to be completely random is the call that the umpire makes. I've seen umpires call a ball on a swing that clearly broke the plane. When we are the fielding team we should have the option to have the catcher check the base umpires at will to appeal weather the bat crossed or not.

Sounds like real baseball to me.

I seen them call it when it didnt break the plane either.

This is what I've seen. I've slow motioned it over top of the batter many times just to check this. It does appear the calls are random, or a really lousy umpire.
