A new developer video blog has released for MLB 13: The Show detailing the changes made to the improve the hitting experience. Given the somewhat punishing nature, and resulting frustration, things have eased up this year with widened timing windows. Beginner mode is an option for novices while the push-pull hitting trajectories will bring tendencies more into play. Also of note is an array of new batting cameras, reduced number of ground rule doubles, wider range of fielding skill for players, and the wind having less effect on the traveling ball.
