Analog hitter question

Re: Analog hitter question

I agree, I really am trying to use Zone plus Analog, the biggest issue I have is not timing the stride right and then when I push up to swing it doesn't happen, if that make sense

If you start with the zone up about 3/4th of the strike zone, this will enable you to get to the high fastball and also get to the low pitches. I also had trouble getting to the high fastball until I started this method. I picked it up from another thread so i cant' take credit for this method, but it works wonders.

Yeah, that's how I've always gone about Zone hitting.

Imo, starting out up in the zone like that helps out dramatically.

Re: Analog hitter question

analog is the best hitting method for me, on the Vita I'm getting great results..

Hitting View is WIDE
Pitching Speed is 2 from left

never been having so much fun.

Re: Analog hitter question

Is pure anaolog as simple as starting the stride by pulling down on the right analog stick and up to swing? Is it essentially the same as timing but using the stick instead of the buttons? Am I requried to push the right stick up to match pitch location? For example push up and to the left if the pitch is inside on a right hand hitter? I'm tempted to try pure analog as button mashing is growing old for me. Thanks!!

yup. its pull all the way down for power swings and straight up for contact, and you can aim to the left or right.
IMO, the best set up is zone analog swing. where you use both sticks.

I gave up the button mashing once 2k implemented it in their game. that was a drawback for me with the Show until last year, even though it was a bit awkward. This year The SHOW's analog controls feel great and spot on.

I felt the same way.

The 1 thing I would suggest is that I just recently switched over to is not using "guess pitch"

once I got used to it, it seemed G.P. really handicaps the hitters attributes. i couldn't hit a lick b4 using g.p. Now, without it much better . if a pitcher hangs a breaking ball? now buh bye! b4, chopper or pop up because I didn't "guess" that pitch

I used to use the guess pitch feature as well, then I figured out it was causing me to over think things too much. Once you just focus on the ball coming out of the pitchers hand, you can usually figure out what pitch it is. Of course, it helps to lower the pitch speed if you use Zone-Analog since it requires a lot of stick twiddling.
