Ok. And?

This was going somewhere, and you did not finish.

So in that case, it's not so much a free-roaming cursor as it is a snap-back/re-centering radial kind of cursor, correct? Like I remember when 2K3 had the kind that would not re-center and it just moved as you would move it, and Power Pros had an option for either kind.

Thank you.

Ugh...I'm gonna need some practice!

It's like SCEA is Santa Clause...

"It see's you when you're sleeping, it know's when you're awake...It write's down every suggestion everyone EVER has EVER made and implements it over the course of one installment!"

Do you guys ever sleep?

And you expect them to say what? That they decided to give up on the online portion of the game?

They're doing whatever they can do to get it fixed, I have complete faith in them.

Agreed.

As apposed to some other developers/publishers that do not admit there is issues, and leave the community out in the cold.

Their honesty is greatly appreciated.

With true zone, in order to make contact the ball will need to be within the PCI. Currently you can have your PCI in one location, the ball in another outside the PCI and contact still being made. Basically you need to be right on with your left stick aiming to hit successfully.

Well, having been to two Pirates games, I can't agree with that. With the way the lighting is inside the stadium the city backdrop is very visible. Im wondering if they could cheat a little bit..It is a videogame afterall

Jesus. And I thought I sucked before.

I'll be using the old option. Or whatever the default analog swing option is.
