What ? I've never seen that. You first hit did it ?

And after that one, fluke, glitch, you were done?

Yikes...

I think Pared answered everything in your post except this... I did check this, and YES they actually and accurately grip the ball for the selected pitch. The ball just popping in their hand from the glove is pretty much gone too.


Another cool thing, that don't think anyone has mentioned is the "force feedback" when you make contact with the ball. It is very noticeable and accurate for the different types of hit. It's also present when using the Move controller. Feels great, especially in homerun derby.

Are you talking about vibration? The only reason I turn it off in-game (especially with a regular controller) is because I don't want it turned on while pitching, because I think it starts to vibrate when I'm reaching the edges of the strike zone. If the two vibration types could be separated, then I would consider it for hitting.

However, how does it work for hitting? Does it vibrate more for solid contact? Because technically, when players hit the ball sweetly, they feel it less. Likewise, when you get jammed and break your bat, it stings like a... well, you know.

That is so cool!

I always thought this would be a good way to use the rumble feature.

Just like in real life if you were swinging a bat you would feel it so why not with the PS3 controller also

Thanks for the info.

100% agree with you on this!

I hope this is how it will be for the PS3 controller too.
