MLB 11 The Show Goes Analog, Includes Balks and More Control (IGN)

[Jr.]

I've been waiting for The Show to use the hitting system from the MVP NCAA series (although that got a bit easy once you got the hang of it). I'm a little worried about the analog throwing system if diving/jumping catches are used with the analog still, too. I can see diving for a ball with the right stick and holding it a bit too long and immediately going into the throw meter to the wrong base. I guess I'll have to learn to just flick the right stick rather than jam it in the direction I want

Also, and I'm sure this will be covered in the aforementioned blog, I wonder how analog throwing will work in regards to outfielders as far as throwing to the cut-off.

oh man i hope they have variable start times.
its long overdue.
and with full day/night lighting, why not.

i have one question about the analog fielding as i have only played ncaa mvp 07 once or twice cuz i didnt think it was as good as 06 but. . .When throwing from the outfield how do you hit the cutoff man if need be? Hit L1 as well as flick the stick or?

More than likely you will hold a shoulder button down when doing the analog throw.

You held a shoulder button and pulled straight down on the right stick. That does not necessarily mean that is what is going on with the Show though. Just so people do not get confused.

Ramone said there would be a blog on this and hopefully will address all your concerns in great detail!
