Haven't been around the forum much and haven't had time to play unfortunately. What's the consensus, Should I download this latest patch? Thanks.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

since the patch my game freezes on post game hightlights one out of 4 times ((( before the patch I had no problems and also restart my franchise doen´t help, any one else with the same issue ?

Me too. It only seems to happen though when you watch the highlights to completion and it asks to save them. I just click out of the highlights before it gets to that point. Happened to me after a beautiful comeback win and I had to restart it, man I was pissed.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

I don't use analog hitting, but this is not my understanding...

The left stick is not functional in analog hitting in everything that I have read about it.

When you swing forward with the right stick, you are to go inside or outside (left/right) with it to determine what side of the plate you are covering. The up/down aspect is automatically determined by the CPU based on timing and batter attributes.

May I ask how one swings right or left if they are swinging up? I don't understand how this is done. It seems to me that this is sort of like saying that if I am walking forward I should walk sideways at the same time. How is that physically possible?

You are moving the stick up towards the left or right diagonal, for instance (right stick motions, assuming right-hand batter):

To swing inside \.

To swing outside ./

To swing regular !

I hope that makes sense.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

Anyone else having a really difficult time hitting via pure analog post patch?

In the patch notes I had read that the patch had made analog hitting "easier". Not sure I'm really seeing this--if anything it's harder. I'm routinely missing pitches in the strikezone with "normal" and "perfect" timing--balls that I would have crushed post patch. On top of this it seems like I am hitting a ton of dribblers and weak pop outs even with solid contact.

Am I an isolated incident or is this happening to anyone else? Had finally nailed pure analog hitting prior to the patch release and was loving the game. Right now after 4 days I am about to throw my controller through the TV screen.

This was happening to me as well. I tried everything I could think of but couldn't get back in the groove, so I switched to Timing.

I really haven't noticed a difference. I guess it might fee just a little easier.. But to be honest, if they hadn't told us they increased the timing window, I probably wouldn't of noticed. My stats are right in line with where they were pre-patch.

I'm on HOF, btw.

I also haven't noticed much difference in hitting pre and post-patch. Though I do have to make sure that I'm moving up the stick in right directions often enough. I actually hold my controller slanted so that the straight up corresponds to my natural thumb movement (which is bottom left to upper right). When I don't do that PCI ends up missing pitches laterally and results in poor hits even with great timing.

Yeah, I heard quite a few people here doing it that way. I hold the controller normally, and go about it a little differently...

When I pull back on the r-stick, I favor the opposite direction of the batter's handedness. In other words, if I'm using a LH batter, I pull the stick down between the 4-5 O'clock mark. This really helps me get around on inside fastballs. Not only does the stick have slightly less distance to travel, but since I'm already holding the stick in a little, the PCI is already inside.

Don't know if anyone else does it this way, but it really helps with my left to right pci placement.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

Count me in as one of the guys who is NOT seeing much, if any, difference with analog hitting since the patch.
I'm hitting the same terrible .245(actually...I might be hitting slightly better!) as before.
One thing analog has done for me....made me play games!!!...(rather than just manage them)
I'm still only playing about 1 game in 10....but last year ...that was probably 1 in 20.

Believe it or not I am just the opposite. I couldn't hit much pre patch but now it feels easier. I have played two league games online using pure analog. It appears to be easier to me but I think it's hitting in general that's easier. Proir to those two games I played two "play now" games using zone hitting. That also felt easier to hit. I am not sure if it's the timing window "fix" from the latest patch that is the reason or that (atleast to me) it seems that pitch speed has be reduced for online post patch that makes it appear to me that hitting is easier. My last game before PSN went down I was no-hit. A few games before that I was one-hit. Many games, again all online, I had no more than 5 hits. Plus many of these pre patch online games were league games that had sliders adjusted to help hitting. Right now I am pretty happy with hitting in general.

Me and a couple of other people on this forum have noticed this as well.

I was just starting to become a very good hitter before this patch with analog hitting.


I get the patch and I notice on just about every 4 seam fastball I am way late and hitting it to opposite field and I seem to be swinging slow and unresponsively.



I went into practice mode and used the default rosters and choose David Wright vs Oliver Perez, at the practice field and I noticed something which leads me to believe they either A) Only changed the timing against 4 seam fastballs or B) Glitched the timing on analog hitting.


I was trying to pull every pitch and hit it to left field, with a 4 seam fastball I would be late on it about half the time and hit it to right field half of the time, and for me to pull it I would have to swing right after it released out of his hands. Perez 4 seamer went about 89-92 mph if I remember.


On a 2 seam fastball going about 85-88 mph, I would be early on it pretty much every time, I swung faster and quicker and I was swinging later but still was able to pull it easily.


Now, sure the 4 seamer is going a little bit faster ( about 4 mph ) but does 4 mph really make the difference in pulling the ball down the line and hitting a ball to right field?



I wound up switching back to zone hitting, which I am enjoying but I liked analog hitting.

Yeah bro it has changed big time. Currently I'm on Hof using jgainseys sliders. I've had to put pitch speed on three and now I have to pull back on the stick way earlier then I used to just to have a chance to get normal timing on a 4seem fastball.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

There is definitely something going on with analog hitting.

I just played 3 offline games where I had multiple instances where my batter would not swing after I did the motion on my analog stick.

At first I thought my controller was broken, but as this happened a few more times it's almost as if there's some sort of weird lag in certain situations when you swing, sometimes completely locking the swing up and preventing it. This is causing me to be severely late on fastballs, and is forcing me to start my swing earlier than I was pre patch.

Not sure if it's a system issue (I have an older bulky PS3), or what, but the swing not registering is getting really frustrating.

Has this happened to anyone else? Thinking of deleting and reinstalling the patch.

Re: MLB 11 The Show Title Update 1.16 Fix List

And to touch on 4 seamers...I'm in the same boat. Everyone I hit heads oppo field.
