OS Roundtable: What Do You Think of The Show's Move to Analog Controls?

[shigogouhou]

The fear remains that once you implement analog controls, you'll start phasing out button controls.

Normally I would say I hate analog controls in baseball games and not even try it. I'd be fine that they added it (since it is an option) but I wouldn't use it.

However, with the fantastic track record that SCEA has earned, it's probably fantastic, and will make me rethink analog controls in baseball games. So I will give it a shot.

Adding options is never a bad thing. I loved the analog pitching in 2K10. If that's not your thing just use the old methods. The truth is I wouldn't have bought the Show this year without analog controls. They have added quite a few new things - analog controls and extra camera options that will really add a lot to the game this year imo.

Hey rudyjuly.......you forgot to mention slider adjustments for pitch speed.

( I would also like to see the sliders have a greater impact range)

if the analog batting this yr is anything like the swingstick in the 2k series than it will actually be harder to check swing than if it were just the x button...for me at least...but of course it doesnt matter since its only an option

The good thing is that its an option. SCEA can't go wrong. I personally don't like it much but that's probably because I really never used consistantly so, I will give it a try and I actually hope I like it. It will be something different and a change. And change is good.

Totally love the addition. I'll use analog certainly for pitching/ fielding....
Options = always a good thing

I believe the Check swing will happen if you let go of the stick before your swing is finished.
