MLB 11 The Show Video: Pure Analog Hitting Tutorial

[davewins]

So that's what the PCI is showing if you don't swing? That is about your timing of your stride?

The PCI won't show up if you only pull back and you don't push forward. After pressing L3 it will only show how good your timing was with your stride. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here...I've been using this method and it's helped making the stride feel more natural, allowing me to focus more on the pitch.

I've been doing the same.
But are we supposed to do that? I didn't find the answer in this video, unfortunately.

But the thing is, what you are saying goes against the tutorial.
So if you are right (which you very well could be!), then the tutorial is not.

I'm confused.

e. Well, technically the tutorial would still be correct, except that it wouldn't apply to batters with longer strides.

This is probably the most disappointing tutorial yet.

#1. Leaving out how to hit inside & outside pitches
#2. Not pointing out that some players have larger strides so the timing looks confusing.

Im starting to think that Russell's "learning curve" was more of a way to tell us that the hitting is not fail proof so far and everyone needs to figure it out for themselves.

I don't understand how this is so hard? You use the L stick to point the PCI and then swing with the right stick.

Yes, some guys have different strides. Big deal. U figure it out as u go through the lineup.

Except you don't use the left stick, and it is unclear as to whether or not the optimal stride time is static.
