The CPU will still be like it is in '10. You can get them to miss hi, low, inside, outside, late, early, etc.

Just think of this analog as being zone hitting similar to the hitting in the game now. You can not choose high or low, but you will be able to reach inside or outside, which is a good addition.

You can still influence grounders and pop flys with the pre-pitch selection of it... and like zone hitting is now, depending on batters eye, ratings, timing, pitch placement, vs pitcher, etc will all play a roll in your high/low contact. Just a much more intuitive feel of a true analog hitting system!

Ok thanks, that makes great sense.

They ripped off the exact hitting and pitching control schemes from MVP 07. Great idea!

I don't understand the term "analog" in this context. How is the stick part of the controller "analog" in comparison to pushing buttons?

Also, are there actually people that like listening to Eric Karros? If so, that baffles me.

March 8th can not get here soon enough......

Are there any improvements to rosters and franchise mode? I'm not looking forward to Joe Mauer having a lower potential than Diory Hernandez when he is the cover boy of the game.
