analog pitching is fine and quick to get used to, Maybe I'm used to it after playing 2k all these years. Hitting is tough for me. I played on veteran not all star. My game went scoreless into the 7th lol. I had already stuck out 11 times and only 4 hits. Then I hit a walk off homerun with Miggy

haha very fun. Oh and btw graphics were amazing.

Love the pitching, ball physics is improved a lot and ball breaks more natural. Only problem I have is the sound, when i pitch there is a skipping when crowd noise is on and when i bat there every once in awhile there is a clip that sounds like the ocean rolling in or a airplane cant figure it out. Love the feel of the game though !

Catcher camera #5 is the ****. I've been waiting for The Show to have something like it forever.

Sweet demo.

Anybody got any tips for hitting? I try to pull back on the stick right when the pitcher's letting go of the ball, but that feels like it's too late. I hit a ground ball up the third base line, but I think that was an accident, lol. Most of what I'm doing is just fouling pitches off.

Really love the demo so far... analog stick is nice for realistic baseball and analog pitching is not easy for me right now but i'll get used to it.

The game looks awesome again this year, can't wait!

Wow... I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the new analog controls. ESPECIALLY the hitting. This is the first time since MVP 05 that I've truly ENJOYED hitting in a baseball game. Just hit back-to-back home runs off Lincecum, and I could just "feel" that I made solid contact. I'm am just absolutely ecstatic about this.

I can't WAIT for March 8.

I think pitching analog from the catches view is best because you get to see the arc on pitches and I do not have to see how horrible the crowd looks behind home plate. LOL

Loving the analog. feels great

the crowd looked terrible in '10 from the outfield view, but looked up to snuff when using pitcher view, interestingly enough. sad to see this is still the case. also sucks what the other poster said about 1080p not being fully supported. ah well, not game killers.

Loving the demo!

Love the abundant camera views for hitting and pitching.

Analog picthing is awesome, so is the analog hitting. Bunting feels just about right with the new analog controls.

Players animations, commentary, presentation, new stat overlays etc.. I can go on and on. This is my early pick for sports game of the year!

A big thank you, to SCEA and the team for making another stellar baseball game.

Just one quick blurb about the new controls before I get back to more games(only played two so far..). The analog controls are sooooooo much more intuitive than I expected. I was already starting to get the hang of things by the end of the first game, and by the second game it really started to click.

Personally, I don't find the analog pitching to be any harder than the meter, but it's just so much more fun. I love how it feels as if I'm almost in complete control, even when I miss with the stick... it goes exactly where I missed with it. I'm still getting the feel for nailing the exact velocity I want, but overall, it feels very natural. I'm looking forward to trying it out on the harder difficulty levels soon.

The Hitting isn't going to be as easy to master as the pitching, but I think I can already tell that I'm going to prefer it over zone hitting. Though it's definitely way too early to tell. It's extremely responsive, and it leads to more natural feeling at-bats. Mainly because the check swings are just about perfect, which helps in working better pitch counts, as well as really waiting on the perfect pitch.

I'll post more after I get a few more games under my belt.

I cheated and messed with the sliders a little bit

Damm you are dead on with that. For hitting it is amazing because I can see the break on the ball

Try it fellas for analog hitting.

seems like a lot of errors in this game

Re: MLB 11 The Show Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Sorry for the poor quality. I recorded this with my phone, so I was controlling the video in one hand and holding the phone in the other. Also, the picture lost some crispness when I uploaded it to YouTube.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny. The ball just rolls back and taps Posey's foot, but he goes down like he took a burner off the shins, ahaha.
