    This is good to hear, Nemesis.

    Except, since I'm Mr. Indecisiveness, it'll probably take me a month now to find the right pitching difficulty for me.

    Great...just GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

      This is a great news...

      If you remember from CD: Does the CPU actually check/twitch more when it takes pitches? Reason I ask is that it helps to see what CPU is looking for by his (or her, LOL) reaction... I felt that was something missing that I could use as a probe against HUM.

        I did not see a twitch but I did see the CPU getting rung up on a check though.

            I use classic exclusively. I probably will try to use pulse a little this year as well.

              Classic pitching on allstar level for me. As Nomo said, I like the realistic numbers that classic pitching provides. I did try analog pitching for a few games and almost stayed with it, but ended up going back to classic.

              Based on Pared's info about pulse pitching, I will start with that option this year and give it a try. One thing I love about The Show is all the batting/pitching options available.

                Been using Classic on All-Star for most of my playtime. The beauty of it is it gives the game a nice clean visual without meters and stuff cluttering the screen.

                The new Pulse feature sounds awesome, unfortunately I wish it was implemented differently. The circle is just too large, distracting, and has an arcade look to it.

                I'll still try it out, but I'm OCD with that kind of stuff.

                  Yeah, count me in the group that will try out Pulse Pitching. I always hoped that SCEA would make a pitching mode where they combined Classic and Meter, and Pulse is exactly that. Can't wait to try it out! Meter seemed too easy for me, I could just pick my spots with the worst control pitchers in the league (looking at you Burnett!) and be all Greg Maddux-like. Not cool.

                    This is where I stand with this I just wonder how much control you will have when you get the pulse down so your always hitting X when its at its smallest and what will be the odds of not hitting your spot regardless of user input. Can any of you guys chime in on this?

                      From my understand, no matter how small the circle is, it only gives you a better opportunity to hit that spot. It's not a guarantee though. Also, bad control equals the pulse is faster, I like that.

                        ...and difficulty ramps it up!

                        It can get quite difficult.

                          Sounds like exactly what I thought classic pitching with a user twist. I agree with Nemesis I wish I could determine effort but I can get by if it's realistic ya know. These guys are smart their not gonna throw in a fourth pitching option without targeting some population of players. They must play the game alot cuz its almost like a group of us who play sitting around trying to think of an alternative.

                            I also like to vary effort with Pulse Pitching if possible... may not need another pitching interface though. Perhaps the duration of button hold for pitch selection/location for Pulse? Or how many pulses you allow before hitting X (the earlier the more power would make sense, since you won't have more time to time the pulsing...)?

                            I think Classic's sacrificing accuracy for more power made sense to me.

                              The first month that I had MLB 11, I used the analog pitching but I never used the left stick to locate the ball. I always located the ball with the right stick (sort of 'gaming' the meter).

                              If you missed one way, the pitch goes high. If you miss the other way, the pitch goes low.

                              ALWAYS!

                              So I had to go back to classic pitching because it had the radial randomness that I crave.

                                I hate change so I'll probably stick with classic (I have played in both rookie and veteran mode) but I might give pulse pitching a shot.
