Pure analog...

Re: Pure analog...

I believe so.

And pushing the stick left or right is a contact swing intended for fouling off pitches more or less.

what do you me by left or right, like flicking the right stick diagonally?

I mean instead of pushing it up, you push it to the left or right.


Power: down then up
Regular: Just up
Contact: left or right

So lets say you're a lefty, if you have 2 strikes and you're protecting, and they throw on the outside corner you would push left, if they throw on the inside black you would push right.

I haven't used contact swing at all yet though. Still trying to get the hang of this new analog which is tough enough as it is.

Re: Pure analog...

I have been a pure analog user since its inception as well. I am still trying to use it this year even with the changes. I do not find simply flicking it up very natural at all. The power swing is kind of odd too. Can I hold it down before the pitch and then move up for a power swing or does it all have to be done after the pitch?

Pure analog is a big step backwards imo.. Everything else greatly improved but pure analog is ruined.... I know they wouldnt listen but please patch this cause it's no fun

Re: Pure analog...

This is the biggest mistake Sony San Diego has ever done. I love the game, but the new analog hitting mechanic is just bad.

Help us, Ramone Russell Kenobi, you're our only hope.

Re: Pure analog...

Well, I'm glad that I'm not losing mind about the stride......but

I really can't believe they did this to the hitting.... Who thought it was a good idea? It's not nearly as fun or intuitive a way to hit. OVerall the game is great, but this one of those fundamental things that should've been left alone.

Re: Pure analog...

It's so uncharacteristic of Sony San Diego. They usually add things not take away. I read an article a few years ago and someone from there said they were keen on leaving things so people could play how they want. That dude must have got fired lol.

Re: Pure analog...

Yep, they lost a customer in me and I have bought it every year on release day since 08. I don't get why they couldn't just leave it in as an option. Absolutely baffling to me. I will stick with 14 and update the rosters the best I can. This is literally the worst change they could have made IMO.

Re: Pure analog...

OMG sony why why why!!. This was such a horrible decision to take out stride hitting. Youve completely dumb down the hitting this year. Some of us want to play on HOF and Legend cause we want the challenge but you've reduced the skill level in hitting. Are you guys catering to caual gamers now?. Ugh so disapointing...i use the pull back as my timing mechanism now every swing i make is now a power swing. You've got the PS4 to work with now so you should have more memory/resources to work with so why remove a key feature?. How am i suppose to make a check swing if i'm just flicking up?. Just really dissapointed...youre suppose to ADD not remove features SONY!.

Re: Pure analog...

In all fairness the check swing actually works pretty good when you flick up I've noticed. (I'm trying so hard to be positive)

Re: Pure analog...

The swing mechanic is the same as the one that 2k baseball used. I'm not surprised no one else knew that seeing as I'M THE ONLY ONE EVER THAT PLAYED THAT GAME!!!! LOL

seriously though they knew that game blows why steal their swing mechanic? If your gonna jack an idea from them take the analog pitching motions that was actually kinda cool.

If you're online I suggest grabbing the OSFM roster with the off-season changes before Sony shuts down the servers, which I think is happening soon.

I haven't had a chance to play 15 yet but I'll be going to a buddy's place to give it a try tomorrow. I've pre-ordered this game every year since 06 buy I held off this year after hearing about how they shafted those of us who loved the pure analog hitting. Sounds like I was right to be cautious. I'll make my own judgements tomorrow.

Re: Pure analog...

My swing timing is just so messed up without this.

I've been using the stride as a timing mechanism for like 4 years, probably 15,000 at bats in this game, it's literally wired into my DNA at this point lol. Muscle memory and whatnot.

Trying to swing without it and I'm just early on almost everything, and I'm flinching and swinging at stuff I don't want to because it just FEELS wrong. It's like my body is rejecting it like a bad transplant lol.

I carried over my RTTS and picked up in the middle of a season, 104 games in. My slash line at the time I carried it over was .330/.402/.636. I've played 9 games so far on 15, and over these 9 games I've hit .162/.225/.324 lol. Just submarining my MVP campaign.
