The check swinging was better (buttons) on last gen...

[cardinalbird5]

I actually liked check swinging on PS3 with the buttons and could do it pretty well. The new analog controller doesn't seem to register correctly when I barely tap the button, but the PS3 one worked well.

Not a huge deal but it can be annoying when I am clearly trying to check swing and my guy swings through it.

What is everyone else's experience so far with check swinging?

I have no issues checking with the DS4. I actually like the feel of this controller with the game, everything feels more precise.

I always wondered how this would possibly work with the Dualshock 4 having no pressure sensitivity in the buttons. Unfortunately I haven't played yet on buttons for hitting to find out for myself

I've had mixed results. There's been a couple times where I try to check my swing with a quick tap and my guy fully swung and got me a solid base hit. But I liked it better on ps3 myself.

the 2 controllers are fundamentally different, therefore they have a different feel. PS3 buttons were analog and pressure sensitive. PS4 buttons are digital and not pressure sensitive.

I know and that is why I was worried last year when they announced this.

I was complaining about it because I knew I check swung a lot with success on PS3. PS4 it works okay...but not as good.

It isn't a matter of the umpires appealing my swings and calling them strikes either. It is a matter of the game not registering my check swings when I want them.

Its interesting that you would say that check swing was better on last gen because on last gen I felt like 70% of the time that I checked I would be called for a swing and that like 40% of the time I didn't check swing it would say that I had checked. I found it to be a told toss up on last gen ever year and felt like over all I got the wrong end of the call to much. I havnt played enough on next gen to realy say if I think it is better or not yet.

I've actually had a better experience on current gen than I did on last gen. I was worried when the news came down that it would be a different system, but surprisingly I've had very few instances of wanting to check and swinging or wanting to swing and checking. I had a bit of an issue with the latter on last gen so I'm happy with the changes.
