MLB 2K12 Developer Diary #1 - Gameplay (Part 1)

[queensbomber]

I wonder if the hitting system applies to button as well, I cant and dont see myself using the stick to hit, ever.
So pulling the left stick left or right doesnt influence the hit at all?
Like pulling and inside pitch or smacking an outside pitch to the opposite field?
Just curious.

If you get a PS3 does that mean we won't see your posts saying the same thing over and over in this forum?

Great read IMO... I really love the pitching in this game and it definitely sounds improved! I am really interested to see how the new hit variety looks as well. For me I love when I am early on a fast ball and pull it down the left field line therefore timing only is great for me. It gets too complicated and frustrating to use both sticks to hit IMO. I cant wait to play this game.

I think the focus on mostly gameplay is really refreshing! I'm actually starting to believe there is a battle going on between pitcher and batter!

If I'm not mistaken it's been said in one of the hands on previews that history of each at bat will be available throughout the course of the game. Don't quote me on it though.

I really want to see these ball physics in motion. As for Pitcher/Batter info I'm liking what I'm hearing. I'm also this means the Catcher Suggestions have been updated also. I love the concept, but sometimes what the catcher would suggest as a pitch was baffling
