Check swing has been ruined for Pure Analog Hitting

[CarrotJuice]

Just grabbed my PS4 today with "The Show" and dove right in with my old settings. I noticed stride timing is much different this year and I can deal with the adjustment, but check swinging has been changed to just letting go of the analog mid swing.

In the past versions you could mimick a real check swing by holding back and stoping the stick mid swing. It was perfect and it wasnt something I had to conciously think about to make it work. Now Im supposed to let my thumb of the bat. You don't drop the bat in real baseball for a check, you muscle up and stop your swing momentum.

Anyone else struggling with this aspect?

Can't say check swing is different this year...have no problem with it...i'll agree stride needs to be done earlier this time round but check swinging seems to be same as ol.

Still works fine for me and i've used pure analog since it was introduced. Stride is definitely much earlier this year.

Ya I will second that about the check swing. Works ok for me still and I have also been using it since it was introduced. Also correct on the stride timing. You have to load up much earlier.

No problems here.

Maybe it is in how the check is done? I pull it back all the way to check rather than just stop. Discipline ratings count to success of checking as well.

I'll say this: I switched from timing to analog this year because I could not check a swing on timing with the digital buttons.

Hmm....maybe it's me then or getting used to the PS4 controller. I just barley touch up to swing and seeming pull back in time, but my guys are still taking a full cut every time.

I feel it's actually easier to check this year.

Never played anything other than Zone + Analog since MLB 12.
