    Re: should the show go to right analog controls

    HELL NO. I just threw down $400 last Friday for a PS3 and The Show in part due to 2k forcing the R-stick down my throat. Listen, maybe I'm too old school, but among other things (the game being considered the greatest) I am in part doing this because I want to go back to the controls I've been using for years.

      Re: should the show go to right analog controls

      I really need right stick controls because the ligaments in my thumb get strained from constantly pressing the X button. I am now using my index finger instead of my thumb until it heals........I can play NHL 09 without pain with my thumb but not the Show. By the way, same thing happened to me last march when the show came out. I played it too much and strained my thumb lol.

        Same, I really hope they don't add it because I think it will somehow screw up what they already have, but if they do add it, it should be optional.

        Just like kev, I felt that since MVP NCAA right stick hitting is oversimplified. My thoughts were reaffirmed when I played 2k9 and never swung and missed with the r stick hitting.

          Absolutely, it should be an option. It's the direction sports games have been going and MLB 09 feels a bit behind the curve when it comes to controls. Also, the option to remap buttons would be very welcome as well. The more options the better.

            Hopefully not.

            Awful gimmick in my opinion.

              The day The Show goes to right analog only is the day I don't buy it. Nothing sillier to me than the right stick in sports games.

                It may not be EXACTLY like swinging a bat, but a darn CLOSER that pushing a BUTTON. Take a break.

                  I don't care what they do next year...

                  ...just leave the option how this year is.

                    Yea, it's closer like those mini finger skateboards are close to actual skateboarding. It's a video game controller, not a bat. If you want to swing a bat get a wii, or go play baseball.

                      As long as they don't take away the controls as is, I don't care.

                      Personally, I hate the swing stick and will never use it and will never buy a game that uses it as the only option.

                        umm, ultimately it's a video game controller so neither is "closer"...

                        i guess pushing the buttons to throw to bases is unrealistic to you too, huh? If you're aiming for that, then go outside and play real baseball

                        your logic just proves that it's nothing but a cheap gimmick

                          Absolutely not. They would have to spend serious time to get it right and there are far better things they could be working on. Just a gimmick.

                            Yes but only if the controls are as tight at MVP college baseball was.

                              100% Yes.

                              The controls are incredibility boring and old.

                                I didn't use the swing stick too often as I couldn't get used to it, but I really liked throwing to fielders with the right analog stick. I think as long as it's an option, it would be cool to see. I think if the swing stick were implemented in a better way, I could be persuaded to try it.
