Changed Swing Stick

[slickkill77]

Am i the only person that doesnt like the swing stick anymore but liked it last year. Whatever they decided to do with the bunt thing really screwed the hitting up. It seems like if you time it wrong it automaticaly goes into bunt mode and your screwed. Am i doing something wrong or is it different from last year?

your not the only one, sometimes when I push up for power swing, boom bunt mode which is some bull, please someone help

I never played mlb 2k6 but was a huge mvp 05 fan and I dont like this swing stick thing at all. Its one think if I just sucked at it and needed practice to get the timing down, but I can never, even when alertly paying attention to how im doing it, make a contact swing to the left or right. Whenever I push the right stick down and the batter brings up his leg and I swing the stick either left or right for a contact swing, at least half the time the batter doesn't even swing. The only way I seem to be able to swing for contact is to let the stick go and not direct the swing.

As for the power swing, I'm much better at it, but I do have problems still, especially with the bunting automatically showing up. Anyways, I think Im going to change it to classic swing when I get the game tomorrow and see how that is.

Or I could just totally suck at the swing stick, who knows.

with the swing stick u dont direct the swing with contact. u pull it back and let it go and direct the swing with the left joystick

It is gong to bunt mood because some kind of way you are clicking down on it just swing back and fourth and you won't have that problem.

It's a problem because you have to be very gentle as it is.

Yea i figured it out. You have to time it with the pitchers leg kick and make sure you dont click the stick. I have made up with the swing stick

[JJT21]

still dumb about the clicking but yea will get used to it.

no thats wrong. They have in-game instructions in the demo and it says to make a contact swing and direct the ball, to roll the stick left or right after pushing down. To fight off a pitch just let go.
