MLB 12 The Show Videos - Zone Analog Batting and Pulse Pitching

Re: MLB 12 The Show Videos - Zone Analog Batting and Pulse Pitching

I think we are only seeing the first phase of pulse pitching. It sounded like they wanted to get it introduced, get feedback after using it and then developing it further based on feedback. I think we will see the speed/effort implemented into this mechanic just like all the other pitching options have as well.

I understand 100%. I would never expect a new feature to come with every conceivable compliment or option during its first year of existence, nor would I be bothered by its absence. They are definitely doing this in the most logical way, I was just throwing in my 2 cents.

I actually take Classic pitching to be a strategy game of calling pitches. Pitch selection, where to locate it... because it matters. In that sense it isn't as boring as it sound.

It's not boring from a baseball standpoint, but when I play a franchise, I play every game. I don't sim a single game, and the only time I ever even think fast forward is when I'm losing by more than like 6 or 7 runs late in the game, or when I'm in a rush to finish playing (ie when a real life game is about to start, or I'm trying to go to bed [notice how those extra inning games always seem to happen at like 11 pm?]). All that considered, I don't know if Classic Pitching will hold my interest for 162 games.

I'll be honest though, I've never really given it much of a serious try. I did try Timing hitting, and I kind of assumed that since I don't enjoy that, I wouldn't enjoy Timing Pitching, so I just kind of ignored it. I was so caught up in how amazing The Show is, and the fact that January 2011 was the first time I'd played video game baseball since MVP 2005, that I never really got around to stepping outside of my box. This year I'll make it a point to do just that.

Exhibition games until the Opening Day Rosters are released.

I totally agree with your comment on it not being boring, the thing that is boring to me is mastering a meter and knowing exactly where the ball will go each time.

That is why I always wanted the meter stopping point at release to have varying degrees of skid based on how his stamina/confidence was and how good his control was overall. That way it was not always money that you could hit the release point.

*cringe* I didn't until you said that. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume it's just because this video was take quite a while ago. We already know it was before CD, but we don't know how long before CD.

Lol yeah they probably made Tulo to lead off just for the sake of time.
