Great game just like the first. The only thing that irks my nerve is the last few second of each match. The last game recorded your last swing even if the timer ran out. I don’t care that it doesn’t on this one but when it takes 2 seconds to get through a “CRITICAL” hit animation, it takes away from my score. I’ve lost multiple games because of this. Still a good game though

This second hrc game has a much different feel than original game. it has much of the same content, with the addition of some new features also. challenge mode is very different, yet still very fun. it is a much shorter session of challenging gameplay than the 10 minute or more sessions that you have to play for a high score in the first hrc. the red ball challenge derby is an excellent new event that is a 24hr event where you can compete on your own schedule, instead of requiring you to play at a specific hour of the day. 2vs2 battle royale is another fun implementation, and it is an idea i had suggested to Haegin over a year ago, so i am happy to see it put into play. i would love to see it evolve into a more competitive and consistent game mode, where players can select a teammate of their choice and register the team for a ranked season. Many of the differences are for the better, in my opinion. I like that the trophy count dictates the 1vs1 stadium you queue for, and it will prevent the issue from hrc1 where highly skilled and players with very progressed, high level accounts are hanging back in low stadiums bullying newer players with lower level batters/items. I don’t particularly like the difference in the game clock reaching 0:00 meaning the score is locked and balls in flight are not going to get credited. it is something that i am not used to and it makes a big difference in the overall outcome of many matches.

I hit a ball right before the time runs out. The game was real close and I got a called home-run which would have won me the game. The last game had it if the pitch made it out then the score would count making clutch hits a factor. But now even if the pitch goes before time runs out, you can’t even hit the ball anymore. This is an annoyance cause I believe that if the pitch is thrown before the time runs out then that hit should count for the final score.
