I had to turn off Check Swing Appeals because of the "roll of the dice" outcomes. Thankfully so, too. I would have so many more strikeouts if they said I went around all those times that I did not.

I wonder with the DS4 has the check swing functionality been adjusted because with the DS3 it was via pressure sensitive and completely random.

I tried the DS4 with the Show 13 and could check swing with it. I am sure it will not be an issue.

I curious on the check swings myself

Wait, what? You can use a ds4 with the ps3? I did not know that.

I think it has to do more with timing as opposed to sensitivity because the buttons on the vita are not pressure sensitive and you can check swing.

Some games you were able to use the DS4 not all the functions worked but the majority did.

That is awesome, too bad my ps3 is broken, because I like the DS4 way better than the DS3, I never would of guessed it would work.

Check swings were never based on pressure sensitivity. It was all timing based.

This year's title will emphasize the three announcers in a more interactive, conversational style, yet will also continue to mine the world of baseball to find intelligent, timely and compelling commentary concerning today's teams and players

I really hope this includes Matt, Eric & Steve mentioning career and prior year stats of pitchers and batters during the broadcast to give it more of an authentic feel.

The one thing I loved about listening to a 2K broadcast was the wealth of stats that the commentary team utilized during the broadcast to inform me of things that I didn't know which really gave it that broadcast feel.

Hearing things like "Adam Jones batted .325 against lefthanders last year" or "Kershaw was 7-2 against the NL West last year" really kept me entertained and wondering what stat I would learn next

Check swings were never based on pressure sensitivity. It was all timing based.

Nope several discussions here and over at Show Nation, check swings meant for analog and not zone or timing hitting

Pressure Sensitive Button pressing really didn't pan out. Pretty much a majority of user's that command their thumb are not thinking about the amount of strength they'll use when playing a game with a controller. Hence the word "Button Masher" and the inclusion of Meter Velocity, Accuracy Overlays and such.

Personally it ran more of a user hindrance rather than a accuracy technology standpoint. Basically due to many took to form as a button was typically a On or Off reaction. So I for one am truly happy of seeing it's removal as it was already tried, tested and came up very short in manifestation.

On a Side Note:
I Can't wait till the days when Analog Controllers and Advance Usage of L & R sticks/Triggers learning curve makes the Next Generation a gaming a mandatory one. Cause until then owing Super Graphics and Sheer Power of a machine with the simple method of ancient & over simplified A & B easy button kind of muddles the saying "Welcome to the future of Console Gaming"

No thats not what that means.

Currently the DS3 controller face button are pressure sensitive.
This allows us to check our swing by lightly pressing the buttons or swinging through by pressing them harder.

With the DS4 controllers, there is no pressure sensitivity on the face buttons.
A light push and a heavy handed push will register as the same.

So then why does it work on Vita?

So when using Timed hitting it's confirmed that it's a completely random outcome??

If this is the case then I'm turning it off

What they should do is make it where you only select the swing types with the buttons but actually swing with R2 which would utilize the pressure sensitivity of the trigger fully on check swings

Using the contact and Power buttons feel really awkward because I rest my finger on the triangle button and slide it straight down fast to X like a timing mechanism

That kind of stuff needs to be on the screen too, not just spoken.

Totally agree but I personally like hearing them say it without an OSD cue always popping up while the player is in the box. It makes it seem more like a live broadcast format but a mix of both would be a very welcomed addition especially on home runs, doubles, triples & stolen bases where OSD's should appear as soon as it happens

As long as player stats are utilized throughout the broadcast I will be happy
