And since I miss them so much, I've got a Pulse-chise going with NYY and it's really been a blast. I've used Pulse quite a bit this year when I'm taking a break from my Braves and it's really been a lot of fun. From the option to turn the ants off, to being able to select my location/accuracy and watch my pitcher's windup and to it being deliciously inaccurate there's really nothing about it I'm not pretty much head over heels with. Now, it'll never be where my heart is (m'lady the Classic interface), but it really is a treat and a great change of pace. Since there hasn't been a Pulse thread on here in quite some time, I figured people might appreciate some feedback on the interface. I definitely recommend it anyone that's not captivated like I am with Classic with the other pitching options.

I'm playing a game right now, and I happened to see this post as I was preparing to take the mound in the 4th inning.

I thought "eh, why not..." and immediately switched over to Pulse (from Analog) mid-game.

I hadn't really tried Pulse much this year, though it was on my to-do list... It reminded me what wildness is supposed to feel like... and how far away Pure Analog comes to providing the feeling of inaccuracy.

I'm glad I read that post. Also nice to see Pulse is a lot easier on the eyes. I might give Pulse a serious whirl this year.

But while I'm at it, I'll just pitch with Classic for the last 2 innings.

Pulse has a lot of fun factor.

I've never been a fan of 'meter mini-games' in my baseball games, but over the course of this release I thoroughly enjoy how Pulse was implemented every time I use it.

Interesting read. I may have to give Pulse a look.

Like many others, I decided to give Pulse a go after reading your post, Heroes. And I was thoroughly impressed with the line it produced.

Ivan Nova: 4.2 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 4 K. 93 pitches, 59% strikes.

I don't ever remember being this inaccurate with Pulse ... and I love it.

I'm thinking I may take a page out of Nemesis' book and find a method of using both Classic and Pulse during my current Franchises.

He uses (and used last year) a Classic on the road/Pulse at home hybrid to keep things fresh. And honestly, the accuracy between the two interfaces are so very close (with Pulse being literally just a smidge more reliable) that it really seems like a fair way to go about it.

I had a game where I went 8 innings, allowing 2 hits, 2 BB's and 8 K's with CC immediately to a game where Andy Pettitte got shelled for 6 runs over 4 innings while walking 3.

Last year I tried Pulse for nearly 30 games and never had an outing like Pettitte's.

SCEA did a marvelous job with it this year. I definitely recommend Classic fans trying it, and Pulse fans trying Classic.

Well this game is great as usual. I love the updated scouting and training

I started a MoM and season mode and can't find training anywhere.
