big hit vr baseball

Thinkin I'm about the only one playing this game. Never tried to hit a live pitch when I started playing, now I can make contact with about 80% of regulation size fastballs in the 80-90mph range. Still working on incorporating breaking balls into my at-bats, but uh. Thank you, This is my favorite thing to do with my vive and I haven't exercised this consistently in years.. After many hours on this game with homerun derby tournaments vs friends, and many more challenging myself with a all HOF pitcher (hall of fame) (very difficult by the way but I like a challenge) I have found this to be by far my favorite sports game even over rec room and many others. It feels very consistent and smooth and although it can be a bit FRUSTRATING AT TIMES if you just step back and take a deep breath you're back in homer land. Don't get me wrong this game is great and is one of the more fun vr experiences especially for a high school b-ball player like myself, but. it would be nice to have some sort of progression (some different bat skins or ball coverings etc.) or some new pitches like maybe a impossible to hit knuckle ball or a two-seam or something along those lines. SHORT SUMMARY: This is a good game for anyone who is passionate about baseball and wants to see how it feels to be in a major league batters box.. New Review: In much faster turnaround then expected, the bugs listed below were fixed or greatly improved. While there is still some room for improvment (like additional game modes) I can now feel like I just suck instead of the game not working correctly. Still a high price point for how much content there is, but it keeps feeling better every patch. Old review: I have been looking for a good baseball game for VR but this just wont do. I think tracking on the swings is a bit messed up, but even if it isnt and I just suck there are a good number of game breaking bugs. Not the least of which is that after a few pitches the ball will start to stand still where it should have connected with your bat, allowing you to swing again, almost guaranteeing a homerun. The ball also likes to get stuck in the 'catchers' mitt with no hitbox but the pitcher will refuse to throw a new ball. Aside from that, it also doesnt like ending the game after a round of homerun derby is over. The good parts about this game are the customizable options to make the game match your skill level. But the core mechanics are broken so I cant reccommend this title. For $20+ I took a huge gamble and struck out.. I've put in about five hours into the game and am happy to report that this is the best VR baseball hitting simulator to date! The inclusion of 6 different pitches adds an extra element that makes batting practice that much more realistic/enjoyable. Don't believe me? Set the pitcher to lefty, HOF, with nothing but fastball and slider (hello Aroldis Chapman). The HR derby mode is great and allows for customization. There are definitely a few kinks to be worked out (sometimes the settings don't carry over when you reset a game), but overall this is a great product if you're looking for a baseball simulator. I would love a "story mode" where you go up against pre-programmed pitchers with different pitch sets and your job is to score a certain number of runs off of them. Have them move pitches around and intentionally throw balls and strikes. If you don't love baseball and going to a batting cage, then this game may not be for you. But if that's your cup of tea, you'll love this simulator! Update - 5/15/2017 The game as it currently stands app
