Now I hope for a foul ball slider at least.
This 100% false. A flick to the right or left on the RS was always a defensive swing, and could be executed as the ball was on the way. It helped if you were just trying to make contact, but it was very doable.

And the check swing was perfectly implemented. I had several check swing every game I played. I do wonder if it was easier to pull off becasue I used contact swing most of the time. It should be near impossible to hold back a power swing in contrast. It might have affected the defensive swing, too.

But both of these features were tuned perfectly. All i can think of is that you didn't know how to do them.

Yeah it's about freaking time. It's only been about 4 years that I've been asking for this stuff. Oh well I guess I can finally be happy.

Best info so far...so much to like about this (namely pitch control being better tuned and a slider to further adjust)

Agree. This sums up my experience last year as well.

I like that whole pitch count. If it is done the way they say it, it can make the games so much more intense. Especially the next day game with the bull pen.

I'm surprised to hear that, did you keep your pitch speed slider too low (50 or less)?

Re: MLB 2K11 Developer Diary #3 - Pitching and Hitting

I can't really remember where I had it. But I know that i had no problem executing check swings and defensive swings on default settings. I played a ton of games that way in order to unlock cards and achievements.

Were you using the analog hitting? I know that folks that were still using buttons were left out. But check swings really make no sense with buttons.

Yes analog, I had pitch speed quite high to make fast ball look really fast both when batting and pitching. Maybe my reflexes are too slow....
