You move the stick towards the base.

If my SS has the ball, I press to the right for first base and up for second and left for third and down for home

Isn't that the way it is?

I think it's realtive to the diamond. So yes your directions would be the correct case, but for every player, not just the ss.

Well yea, I was just using that poss as an example.

But that is the way I have been throwing my errors. LOL

I dropped down from HOF to All Star for fielding and is much easier

But I keep my hitting and pitching on HOF

I've been playing the finished version of the game for two days straight and I've seen at least 5 errors by the cpu in three games during the playoffs.

Ramone, the blurriness of the crowd behind home plate in the demo...graphically has the demo taken a hit simply due to compression etc?

I am glad I did write-ups on all these analog features! I see they are being read really well.

Pitching is no big deal. I think it feels great and is done very very well and so is the hitting.

The only question I have is when using analog hitting, can I direct my hit or is it just down for start of motion and up for swing?

When conflicting info is out go back to step 1!

I did... I guess I would've preferred it be built around the true position of your base, instead of just true left right up down. It seems more intuitive...probably impossible to code.

You are throwing me off by saying direct your hit? Do you want to aim your bat in the zone or try to produce a particular type of hit.

I think there's some good conversation going on around about analog hitting. Some are wishing you could have true-zone implemented along with the analog swing. But I think as it is it's just up and down. Although I've read it's a three part swing.

I hear ya! When I first used the system and would go to field a squibbed hit with the catcher and I would keep pressing UP to throw to first because he is above me and kept throwing to second, lol. For ease the system has to mimic the diamond as much as possible.

I meant, if I start my motion and press up to swing but in an angle to the right as a right handed batter, can the ball go to right field. I am not sure of that because if that is the case then I will go to zone hitting.

I tried a few AB's with analog and the pci didn't do what I thought it would with relation to my stick controls. I just went back to zone hitting. Which is by far, in it's best form with 11.

You can try to influence a hit by holding R2 and flicking the right stick before the pitcher deals. You cannot mid swing try to influence a hit by angling the bat in a certain direction. On the push up you do need to angle the stick towards either the inner, middle or outer third of the zone depending where the pitch is.

Even if you were to use the true zone option you need to move the PCI to where the ball is. You do not move in a different direction to where the ball is to try and hit it in another direction. The system does not work that way.

Is zone what we had last year?
