Does the PCI still show up in the swing feedback though? I use a clean screen when I hit but have swing feedback turned on as I like to see that. It would show the size of the PCI. and where it was on the swing even on timed hitting.

Thanks Nemesis!

I am going to say no, if I recall just your timing feedback.

You said gameplay was slowed down, but are there still animations that take so long to develop that it can cause a runner to be safe? There were times last year where a routine groundball to short would be a base hit because it took the fielder too long to get rid of the ball.

I'm sure nemesis can reply, but I believe even in the fact sheet it mentioned that this has been cleaned up, where the animations are more closely related to the situation they are appropriate for. (IE, no longer getting the casual throw animation when a speedy runner is running to first). Let's hope this is true.

Can you talk about the hitting and pitching interfaces? What is changed, remained and removed? How new possibilities work?

Might as well drop the bomb, there is no swing influence in the game anymore. Actually it has been disconnected for some time apparently. We all were having a dose of Placebo for the past few years.

Blzer I have not forgot your question just need to put my thoughts together.

Is there a delay when the player gets hit by a pitch?

This is annoying. There should be a way to preload directional hitting for those of us who use zone so that we can take advantage of situational hitting situations (avoid dp, sac fly).

What is the point of making directional hitting only on timing only?

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

Did you feel as though there were more doubles as that felt like it was lacking last year (except for in the gaps, there were none). Also, what do you mean by the batted ball speed being "more organic"?

I did not have issue getting double last year so,it would be hard to point you in. Direction if it I better or not.

Organic=natural

I am primarily a analog batting guy, but I tinker with the other options from time to time. If Im not mistaken, I saw that you can use analog with timing this year. Timing is my preferred secondary batting option.

Nem, did you try this option at all or have any input on exactly how it works?

I guess we can pretend that it still exists!

lol, true.

I suppose in the scheme of things it maintains a certain balance between hitting modes, because if you get really good at zone hitting it's easy to generate unrealistically good offense compared to timing (which is much more stat based), so to compensate they let timing have more control over situational hitting.

The basic analog in the game was really only timing. You were using a stick instead of buttons. Analog was being worked on so I did not get much play time with it.

EDIT: the analog mechanic has changed, please see my post below on how it works now.

Re: MLB 15 The Show (Community Day Gameplay Q&A Thread)

Is the traditional Zone plus analog still an option? If it is, has it been altered?

Here is what I wanted to ask- any improvements to the CPU's decision making especially in choosing relievers
