Enhancement Request---Drop the Graphic in Pitch Placement

I am a HS Baseball coach in Virginia and I Love the iPad App----EXCELLENT!!

One thing really bothers me though------and I think it a simple correction…

In the pitch placement----I find the graphic of the Catcher----or the graphic of the Pitcher (depending on the “View”) needless and just plain confusing…..

I place pitches assuming a head on view----as if they were coming from the pitcher towards the batter….

Having the graphic of the pitcher in the background just confuses me greatly….. (I am not throwing to a pitcher---I am throwing to the catcher----but if I use the one with the catcher “View"----it places the pitches backwards----at least to me.....

Is there a way to eliminate that graphic entirely??? Or option out of that graphic?

I would simply eliminate that “View” ability----and just have an area with a strike zone and a larger zone---or at least be able to oprion out of the graphics in the background.

We will be allowing more customized "skins" of the scoring screen in the future, and you will be able to have a skin with no graphic or any graphic you would like in place of the catcher/pitcher images. You can always just ignore the graphic. If you press the little "3 circle" icon, it divides the pitching area up into a grid, and you can use that for your pitch placements and just ignore the graphic altogether.

Thanks----good tip----and I look forward to the enhancement....

My feeble brain just doesn't process well with that pitcher image...seems "backwards" to me...

In my mind I should be seeing a catcher----or a batter....in the image from a head on view

The grid will work----a little messy with all the pitches on it---but your tip will work in the meantime.

Thanks again-----great product!!
