HR Tag

I am curious thoughts on the HR distance tag

I don't hate it but I certainly don't love it either. I mostly just don't think about it. I can see why a video game maker would want to add things like this each year, to keep things fresh but I would also like to see this as optional. I imagine I might wind up toggling it off eventually if I could. It's a hard line to straddle for developers to satisfy people who want a baseball experience and people who want a video game experience. Making it optional would have satisfied both. I feel like they dropped the ball on this one, when it should have been an easy no-doubt 500 foot homer.

Not a fan at all in its current implementation. I’m very much a ‘replicate a broadcast’ type player. This detracts from that and is very arcade.

You might as well add flames to the ball too IMO.

If it was done on a replay, it’d be much more tasteful.

I chose delay, but would love for it to be on a replay and not on the first view.

Careful you may just give SDS an idea to do that for 26.

The HR distance is already on the HR overlay that pops out of the scorebug.

So I say remove it and leave it on replays though.

I love it. I love when sports games add new things visually.

I think the arcade aspects should be left for DD , that’s just my opinion. Let there be a DD presentation and a Sim Presentation. It’s like the HR replays at the half inning where all it shows is the hitter swinging not the actual HR. Like let Broadcast presentation be a Broadcast presentation. When you do the swing only replay or the HR distance tag ? You kill the immersion, once again just my opinion
