Swing Analysis Feature - Missing with guess pitch off???

[dmbfan1970]

The title says it all. Why would the people including myself that like to play with guess pitch off be penalized and not be able to use this GREAT feature?

I know what some will tell me is to just don't use guess pitch and then you have it. But I like to play in online leagues with guess pitch off and this feature would be a great tool to have!

Devs, couldn't this be an easy fix to let us use before game comes out or possibly a patch?

Thanks.

Maybe I'm mis-interpreting what you are asking, but in the options screen, just below "Guess Pitch" is "Swing Analysis". You can set "Swing Analysis" to ON, even when "Guess Pitch" is off...

It doesn't appear to be working in the demo, but the simple fact that the option is there would suggest that it might be something in the final release?

You can easily turn swing analysis to "on" after selecting guess pitch to "off" but try pulling up swing analysis during game and it won't happen.

hmm...maybe it's a demo thing? I can't think of a reason it wold be disabled like that. Odd.

Ummm, yeah that was my point. It's there as an option, so I'm going on the assumption that it will be activated in the final release...?

I'll play a little devil's advocate here. When you do indeed select guess pitch off, the swing analysis feature automatically changes to off as well. Maybe it's just a demo thing where you can turn it back on in the menu when you aren't supposed to.

Well, bad news fellas. As someone who doesn't use guess pitch, I also wanted to know about this. I PM'd Kolbe about it and here's what he had to say about it:

"It's a design flaw that we just didnt have time to fix. I personally hope that we will get it done correctly next year" -Kolbe

I also asked him the posibility of a patch and it's a no go. Unfortunately it's complicated due to the way it's implemented in the game's design (or some such technical stuff...as I told him, my programming knowledge is basically crap). It's DEFINITELY VERY MUCH on his radar for 2010 though. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there you have it.

I guess for now, just play with "guess pitch" on but don't use it if you want swing analysis.

-sigh- Oh well. No game can be perfect or suit everyone's needs. I was praying for a simple fix here. I'll just have to practice offline with guess pitch on and when I go online I won't have this feature. Not a big loss I guess. We didn't have the feature last year so I'll be okay with it. I sure hope it is implemented next year.

thanks soxfan for finding out. least now I can get over it before game comes out.
