I just played and lost a 14 inning 3-2 game with the Giants. 154 pitches with Lincecum lol. I saw Young, Blanco, Murphy, Davis, and Treanor off the bench and O'Day, Feliz, Rhodes, Francisco (should be on Toronto), and Oliver out of the 'pen for Texas. Any questions? And has anyone else gotten this many innings? I was pitching on all-star and batting on rookie. I'm god awful at hitting, but pretty good at pitching.

I can't wait to see the posts after you get the hang of it. Until then swallow your pride and drop the difficulty level. Has anyone had the gonads to try Legend fielding?

I'm currently in the 7th inning of a 0-0 tie where i've done all the batting and Lincecum has 15K's and C.J. has 9. This is beyond struggling. I'm lucky to make contact. Oh joy.

Damm I am killing myself on HOF analog fielding. I barely move the stick and is always errors. I committed 4 in one inning. LOL

I am good with the pitching and to some extent the hitting on HOF. I get smashed at times but I can handle it

The fielding is hard. I had to drop it to All Star.

I hate buttons...LOL

I really wish they had included an option to use the Left Analog Stick for batting with Analog.

HOF batting? Analog?

If so, congratulations. Seriously, I can't imagine HOF hitting right now.

I think that may be something SCEA could expand upon in later versions - I'm sure they've already thought that out and tested it out. This is their first year ANALOG, so don't be surprised if that's in the years to come.

I can now smash with the Rangers, but struggle with the Giants. Doing nothing but hitting I won the last game 4-0 with Texas.

I really think the key to hitting with the stick is getting down the strides of your players. May just be, but when even I got comfortable timing up with the Rangers hitters I started hitting it with solid contact consistently.

I rake with Kinsler.

Looks better and better the more that I play

I am using HOF level for everything now (Analog hitting, pitching and throwing) and am able to win on a pretty consistant basis (won 3 games in a row). Didn't take me long at all to get used to the new controls. Analog throwing took me the longest, but i've got it pretty much down now. Only make an error once every couple of games. I've played about 25 games are so now. Took me a good 10 games to really start to feel comfortable with the new controls. Thinking of trying Legend pitching, mind you Lincecum and Wilson are both #1 pitchers so it may be much more difficult with #4 and #5 starters once the full game is released. I played HOF level for batting and pitching last year too.
