      Patches are mainly for bugs not adding features so it would be 16 before you would see possibly something addressed if they were going to do anything at all.

        So since the pre load isn't coming back anytime soon what are you guys using as your "trigger" to start your swing? My timing is all jacked up right now. I got no chance at that plate right now.

          Well I've at least managed to find a brightside. I play with no menus or overlays whatsoever. All that's ever on the screens is ticker scoreboard and the pitch meter. I turn everything else off. The game looks so good I just want it to be as close to watching a game on Tv.

          Basically the brightside of the new analog swing mechanic is that it's pretty fun to hit from the broadcast view instead of the usual catcher perspective. I tried it before but it was nearly impossible when you had to time your stride.

          Don't get me wrong I'll gladly switch back if they add it back in But the writing is on the wall that i highly doubt its coming back this year, so I'm gonna move on and enjoy this new way of playing.

            I'm not. I'm using Zone like I did in The Show 10 and every year prior. Not at all what I wanted to do, but I've used this exact analog control scheme in the MLB 2K series and have zero interest in replicating a button press with an analog flick.

            What makes some of the best analog controls as good as they are is there not being any way to replicate those controls with button presses. NHL, NBA even the TW series of golf games, have fantastic analog control schemes. But The Show's Pure Analog system circa 2011-2014 is unrivaled in its ability to replicate an action in a sport with a controller. Pure genius.

            The devs created the equivalent of the organized chaos and intensity of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture that we call batting and turned it into Rebecca Black's Friday.

                I might as well use the buttons this year. Very disappointed to see they removed pure analog hitting.

                  I like the new pure analog hitting without the stride. The stride in MLB 14 was nearly impossible to master with my batting stance. In my opinion it was much better in 2013. I will not miss it.

                    I think what your saying is you're a fan of timing hitting. That's what the new pure analog is now. As far as I'm concerned, there is no "new pure analog", pure analog was removed from the game so Not sure why they even kept the name. Just have timing as a hitting option then let people pick "buttons" or "analog".

                      The new pure analog isn't all timing only. You still have horizontal control of the pci, so you can aim your swing inside or outside like it was last year.

                      And you can still do pure analog plus zone. It's all the same as last year... just without the best part, obviously.

                        You sure about that? I was browsing the other thread on this where ramone commented and people were saying they not only took out the stride but also the PCI placement from pure analog mode. So essentially making it timing.

                        I'll try to look through that thread again and confirm. But either way, like you said, stride was the best part about the pure analog system.

                          Zone analog is virtually zone with buttons, just now the buttons are the right stick. There's no swing mechanic involved with the right stick anymore.

                            I've been using Pure Analog for a few days now and I can confirm that he's right. Pure Analog works exactly the same as last year just without the stride timing. That and I'm not sure if there is such a thing as contact swing when using it because you can't preselect using the O button like in the past.

                              Contact swing is just flicking left or right on the right analog stick. Have no idea how you can control the PCI with contact swing then.

                                Ok, Ive tried the "new analog" . Given it a chance for 6 games. The new analog is like playing slow pitch softball. There isn't that rewarding feeling when you have success like in hardball. It's just a boring system.

                                I'm gonna try zone with buttons as I haven't used that system since the PS2 years. What do you veterans suggest as the next best thing to the old "true analog" batting?
