Pure Analog Stride 16

[joshjays44]

For the love of God Sony please bring back Stride with Pure Analog. I don't want to spend another year having 6 guys on my team hitting 40 home runs but then again i was playing the the Jays so thats not so far fetched. Hitting with a simple flick left or right for contact seems so cheap or half flick up for normal hitting takes away the fun of a challenging game. This is baseball!!...its suppose to be flipping hard to hit. I mean how am i suppose to check my swing with a flick to the right of left. Just please bring back the stride for 16..thanks.

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

The philosophy of a power swing is kind of iffy, maybe they could incorporate holding down R1 for a power swing to go with analog and bring back the stride

As oppose to pressing the square button of past?..That could be a good idea..more real time with holding down R1 just before you stride. In a split second you feel a meat ball is comming down the middle simply hold on R1 and stride.

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

Well playing real baseball when u walk up to t plate depending on situation and pitcher people already have an idea of wether or not They're gonna try and smash one far, hence why it would make more sense to have someone hold down R1 as opposed to tapping it on on fly when a meatball comes,

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

I want it to come back. Just press left or right for a slap hit and bring the analog stride back. I plan on taking next year off and keeping 15 for another season. If they brought back the full swing I would totally jump on 16. That's how much I like it.

Hmmm could be a little wrong there buddy..yes playing real baseball you might have an idea of how a pitcher might work you, if you've picked up a pattern first and second at bat. But pitchers are human..they can mislocate or leave a flat curve over the plate..this is where ur eyes light up and instead of taking it the other way or try to move a runner along you adjust and try to yank that sucker over the fence. That should be your approach at the plate not try and guess all the time.

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

I do miss the stride. Kinda wondering how it would feel with the less moveable space on the DS4 Analogs though.

Pulling back and running into the "plastic wall" before you swing might feel terrible.

I would like to have the option back though. I never played anything but Zone + Analog up until they removed the stride.

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

I feel they just dumb the game down a bit by removing the stride. I just hope that wasn't a plan to make the game easier cause a few cry babies complained the game was too hard. Please don't pull an EA on us Sony

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

They can do it like the old games where you press the square button if you want power or "X" for a contact swing. Not saying this is how you hit; you would do that with the right thumb stick.

Agree. I was glued to that game. This year I played it for about a week and was just kind of played it here and there randomly. I felt like I had to force myself to.

Yeah sorta similar to me this year..played all spring training games working on sliders to mimic a good balance using a the full stride motion with the stick. Couldn't really do it...still getting too many Hrs on HOF hitting. Almost everyone had a HR per 10 at bats. I couldn't bring myself to pushing stick side to side for contact swing...seems way too cheap. I just hope they put stride back in next year.

Yep, I've never played The Show less than this year.

I just couldn't get into it.

I miss the Stride, I miss the full length batters box animations.

I miss various things that they cut over the years, like the 3rd Base Coach, and actual punishments from the Manager in RTTS.

I love the card collecting because I actually benefit in RTTS this year, but it's not enough after losing so many things.

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

Its a weird route they took this years game. Instead of keeping and improving features they simply removed it. If it was up to me i'd make sure gameplay and simulation was first priority then graphics and eye candy second.

Re: Pure Analog Stride 16

I didn't get last year's game for the 1st time since '07 because of the ruined swing stick. Thought maybe I would get this year's even though I know they won't fix it, and then they showed the same last gen player models today.....
