Guys, one thing I don'd understand. In the control section it says that both guess pitch and influence ball are done R2+L. Now I'm confused, what should I do to guess pitch low and influence a fly ball?

Overall I'm really really digging analog controls, very well implemented, especially fielding where it puts you in control of your throw.

I found an ERROR on the demo and wanted to bring it to attention....


- broadcast view (while pitching) "on the backstop" RIGHT side I see this: SFGIGANTS.COM

***obviously it's a misspelling!


The left side is right - shouldn't it be SFGIANTS, not SFGIGANTS?

{I just wanted to bring it to the attention of the DEVS - they may already know this OR this may ONLY be a mistake in the demo ONLY...just wanted to give them a heads up.}

That's all!

guess pitch is done with the left analog stick, influence with the right

so left stick down (guess low), and right stick up (influence fly ball)

I am really liking the feel of the game. It feels so much smoother with the analog controls. The pitching and fielding is great but I am having trouble with batting. I keep getting ready to wind up, but cant pay attention to the pitch, I just swing. This happened to me in 2k10. I feel that the normal controls might be better for me or I just need to work on it more.

Oddly I get a ton of balks and Ive only used the meter itching....but I like that. My pitcher has to come set before I start chucking..nice element added..I had like 6 balks in one game becuase Im use to hurrying..this will slow me down in a good way

As well I feel I can make at bats last longer with the new swing type that is a defensive swing..I love the new added stategy..

I think Sony has really nailed it. The new pitching scheme is more fun than the pitch meter. I don't know if I will stick with the analog hitting. For me it takes a lot of practice to step, indentify the pitch and swing. I am finding that I am over thinking stepping (pulling back on the analog stick) and thus not able to concentrate on pitch selection. The graphics continue to be excellent. Although players will pass through each other. The analog throwing worked once I adjusted the slider. I was overthrowing just about every throw before adjusting the slider. I am so happy I purchased a PS3 two years ago just for this game. Last year's game is even great on my psp Go.

It took me about 2.5 hours last night. The demo is almost 3 GB (!), and the servers were probably busy with everyone downloading it.

Game is fun but way harder this year. I had to drop the analog hitting down to veteran just to make contact. I've had 2 hits in 3 games.
