why make bunting on the swing stick?

[JJT21]

why have clickin the right stick bunting?

When you get really into the game and can feel the power and you just press down and then up quick for the bomb, but wait since your pumped you press the right stick down abit and what happens? Guy bunts. This was stupid, there should be nothing but swinging on the right stick. Anyone agree?

Yeah. I just tried the demo, and that screwed me over a couple times. Still a good game though.

I can't stand how it is right now. Half the time I'm bunting because I accidentally press down and click the thumbstick. You have to be so gentle the way it is now. There better be a way to turn that option off. If not this is a huge obvious mistake by 2K sports.

I don't think there is a way to turn it off, i tried to change it in the options but nope. Maybe in the game tomorrow we will be able to or else it sucks. I gotta hold the stick like a joystick kinda now so that I don't press it down and that sucks.

I dunno...only had this problem once. I personally think the swing stick is much improved over last years (although not as responsive as MVP). I also like that you can push up to protect the plate and slap hit. good little touches IMO.

Its like real baseball u dont grip the bat and try and smash the ball like pushing in and up instead like real baseball u line up ur fingers on the bat and swing letting the bat do most of the work.
This really isnt an issue ive played the demo 7 times now and havent had this problem you guys just need practice.

I've had practice. I was ranked 25th or near that on regular xbox for mlb 2k6 for a long while (not that I'm bragging, just saying), so I know what I'm doing. I played mlb 2k6 for a year and really liked how the swing stick worked. It's the way I like to swing, there should be an option to turn the bunting by clicking the thumbstick off.

exactly. I had the problem once, like I said. I got a bit too excited on a fat pitch down the pipe with pujols up to bat...lol Since then, batting has been a breeze.

yea it's getting easier as I go on but still, shouldn't be on the same stick, the last minute pushing up thing is cool cuz it has to do with the swing stick. The bunting I don't think does and can have it's own button (which it does i think as well). You don't think in baseball when you get up and see a fat pitch you over swing sometimes? Yea you do, just like when ur using the stick u kinda use to much force sometimes and do the bunt animation.

Try sliding your thumb behind the stick on your up swing. Hopefully that will help you out when you get a little jacked for a big hit...lol

[JJT21]

Haha yea I will try that for sure, like I said it is getting easier.
