MLB 11 The Show Video: Pure Analog Hitting Tutorial

[shaunpatrick]

I'm glad there's no aiming with the left stick. You should also be able to hit the ball wherever you want if you time every swing correctly.

Right about now the Analog concept is the bain of SCEA's existence...

Well for me and I'm sure many others it has breathed some needed fresh life into the series, so I think your comment is a bit off base.

Hitting inside or outside pitches, perhaps?

yeah i would think for guys who have big leg kicks you would needa pull the stick back before release...any advice Russ?

That's what I'm wondering about too.

So we should start the stride just before the pitcher releases the ball, but we shouldn't swing until the batter plants his foot? That only works if the batter has a short stride.

For the batters that have more involved strides I start them a little earlier then guys with the shorter quicker strides. To me the swing looks more complete with those guys being able to finish. Just my observation from playing.

For people struggling with different strides and the timing: go through the entire demo only pulling back on the analog on every pitch trying to get your timing right with each player. After each "swing" hit L3 to check how your timing was - it will tell you exactly what you need to correct. This has helped me alot.
