This game is everything I could've asked for in a vr baseball game. The hitting engine and mechanics are very realistic, responsive, and accurate. Anyone looking for a baseball vr game, this game is your best option. The price is very reasonable, and I have gotten my moneys worth for sure (over 500 hours recorded) and strongly recommend this game to anyone.

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. (btw don't buy pitch-hit vr baseball it is boring)
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 ...
Big Hit VR Baseball is generally one of the big things I wanted in a VR baseball experience: Batting practice. Homerun derby and homerun smashing all the way around is real fun. First day I got it I probably swung at 800 or so pitches and my arm won't be feeling too great tomorrow. PROS: -Hitting is pretty smooth -6 different pitches, 5 different difficulty (speeds) each, and the ability to spot pitches means fantastic variety -Can change ball size for a little help or general fun -Can change how hard the ball is hit and flies for REAL fun... Get to see balls soar over buildings and hit 800ft on a line -Simple controls CONS: -Price: $25 is not really reasonable for the content provided in this game. I paid becuase I was willing to give it a chance so I could give feedback in HOPES that the developers add new stuff or change a couple of the bugs I found -Bug 1: So people have been saying the ability to refresh a pitch and reload the pitcher bugs out on them, some say they have to rese...
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 th...
It doesn't look like much but in this game I can put the baseball size to 1.0, track it and hit it. And the batted ball physics feel right most of the time. It feels like the ball goes where you hit it. And hitting the ball is sufficiently challenging. Too bad this is the least visually appealing baseball game I've seen. I wish somebody would just give me a batting cage that works. So far this is the closest I've seen.
Still worth 12.99. Content wise it's literally a batting practice simulator. But honestly it has enough features to keep you coming back and honestly is insanely addictive. You got different baseball sizes, different pitches that can be set to different speeds, and an option to juice the balls on how far they go when you hit them. games a 10/10. super simple and insanely addictive.
YES THIS WILL WORK ON OCULUS. Because my review will be pretty lengthy, I will include my verdict right here so you can read and go or read my entire review. VERDICT: Great game and a great way to get easy to access BP before a game and probably the best way to really mentally prepare yourself for a game. If you don't really play, then it's a great way to experience baseball at the plate and really hone your skills. BUT, I think $25 is just way too much this game is asking for. I understand that developers (Especially for VR games) spend months and years making these games, but $25 for a game with literally the sole purpose of batting is just too much to ask for. It is definitely a game you should pay for, just not $25. Drop this in your wishlist and wait for the devs to put this on sale. Not worth $25. REVIEW: I have just finished my final year of High School Baseball. In preparation for college and having summer vacation, I have not had the chance of getting BP anywhere, and have ...
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.
2 words: very realistiic. Especially when you turn the baseball size down to 1.0 (real size) and turn the pitching to average or starter. Really awesome way to take free BP at home. Very addictive. Make sure to supersample if you make the baseball normal size, cause it is small! Very rewarding to hit home runs as it is not easy, but for those who don't want the realistic experience, you can make the ball huge and juice it :) Great little VR batting simulator.
