Pure analog...

Re: Pure analog...

That streamer could have been me haha, I streamed since Friday before release almost non-stop and talked about it all the time.

And it's not really already there, because power swing still doesn't incorporate stride timing. Just the pull back part if I'm understanding correctly. Motion but without having to time the stride.

There have been multiple double digit page threads on people disappointed. I'm not telling the dev team how to do their job, they're amazing, but I hope it at least gets discussed based on the feedback.

lol, it was you! I recognize the name.

Anyways... The tutorial tip showed right stick down then up for power swing, so I thought maybe the only way to cancel out auto-stride was to time it perfect for power swing. How it actually works did cross my mind though, but it just seemed so unnatural that I didn't even bother to try it.

I'm so use to playing with stride timing(since MLB2K8), that not having to do it just feels weird.

Re: Pure analog...

With the new contact, where you can swing left or right does it matter based on the pitch being inside or out? Or just the users preference?

Re: Pure analog...

Also just wanted to make sure I understand this fully, If I want a power swing I can just hold the stick back until I want to swing and then push up on the stick?

Yes that is correct

From my understanding it does matter where the pitch is and if you swing early or late. I think you can still try and pull an outside pitch but chances are it won't be a quality hit.

Re: Pure analog...

I played over 300 games using pure analog in 14. I'm only a couple of games into 15 but already getting used to the new analog controls.

Same here, I didn't think I would like the new way, but I have played 4 games now and I like it. Tried directional with analog but didn't stick with it long, seems to hard for me. I struggle hitting so Ill probably just stick with pure analog as it seems the easiest, and I have no desire to push a button ever again to hit or pitch for that matter. I love analog for both pitching and hitting.

This is looking like the worst decision ever in the history of sports gaming...

Re: Pure analog...

Hopefully someone can enlighten me. So i didn't play last years version; due to the fact I got my PS4 late in the season. I too was a guy that used Pure Analog in the past. My question is should I make the switch to button swing, or try to adjust to the watered down version of Pure Analog? I know this is a total personal preference question, but I'm looking for some light being someone who never used face button hitting. I would love to have some thoughts on this!

Re: Pure analog...

I personally stuck with pure analog...its not as fun as it was but its better than buttons IMO

Re: Pure analog...

Couldn't they just patch this in the game?

[BrianM207]

Re: Pure analog...

Could they? Sure I guess, I dont know how programing works lol...but they have already stated they aren't going to

Re: Pure analog...

I struggled with the new way at first but am coming around to it now. I used to struggle with my timing having a stride and swing but didnt like any other way of hitting.
Im sure I'll get even more comfortable with no stride now, just an adjustment but it's less movement and easier to focus... once you mentally time your stride.

It's easier than it sounds, try a couple HRDs to get a rhythm and it will become more natural.

Re: Pure analog...

I've pre-ordered in each of the last 4 seasons, except this one. I wanted to wait and see what people said about the new hitting. Well, now I know. I'm disappointed, and likely won't be buying. Shame.
