MLB 12 The Show Preview - Pulse Pitching, Zone Analog Batting, Collision Awareness

[ryan36]

oh so you're saying you're a PBU? LOL.

I turn off the visual PCI but I DO hold my L-stick just a little bit off center in the direction I think the ball will come pre-pitch. I usually cut the plate in half. and look a hair lower than the belt line

When exactly does the PCI lock in with zone hitting? I don't think it should freely move mid-swing, but while you can still check, some adjustment should probably be allowed.

I guess this can be an issue with zone analog hitting. I hope it doesn't lock-in during take-back.

I agree, it shouldn't really move mid-swing. As far as I know, it locks the very instant you press the swing button. Ideally, the game should give you some time, at least until the actual swing animation begins, before locking the PCI.

A random thought I just had: many users felt that bat speed needed to be increased in this game. I'd imagine if 2012 brings faster bat-speeds/quicker swing animations, then this whole PCI-lock thing pretty much becomes a non-issue.

Edit: And no, rest assured, I'm not a previously banned user, lol. I'm actually looking into that matter right now, since I literally just realized what the previous account was.

Don't know if already answered but does anyone have more info on Franchise.
"new contract logic, improved trade logic and an all-new free-agent signing process" ?

Besides this not running on a PC I cannot think of a whole lot to improve anymore besides all those tiny things we all appreciate and THE COLORS OF THE GRASS, DIRT, AND WALLS a bit. This year is ACTUALLY looking to be almost definitive in my mind. It is pretty clear these guys took all criticism, I think, to heart and brought the guns. Animations were one area the game was lacking and they went full throttle on that. Damn fine job. With the usual improvements made to fans and sounds I think this year is going to be special.

Now as a Twins fan I have nothing else to look forward to so I hope I am right.

any chance the show will ever have a build a new stadium or relocate team feature?

[Skyboxer]

Guess it's a little too early to start checking stores for early release.....

Seriously though when The Show releases is pretty much a "reboot" for the year as far as mental state goes.
Love seeing the info but it really makes the wait tough.
