MLB 11 The Show Video: Pure Pitching Tutorial, Along with Tips and Tricks

Re: New Video

One thing I'm concerned about (and perhaps CD guys can answer) .. But it said it clearly labels where the edges of the plate are in the analog meter .... When you are aiming on analog are you aiming to where your pitch will end up or where your pitch will be aimed?

For example, say you where throwing a slider and you wanted it to paint the black of the outside corner. Would you aim to the outside corner, or would you aim even farther outside of the corner of the plate to compensate for the break?

One of the things I like about MLB 10 pitching is turning off vibration and turning off the ball marker, so I don't have an indication of exactly where I am aiming .. is it now impossible to not really have a more 'blind' release point and to simulate how in real life a pitcher has to kind of find the 'sweet spot' of release to make a pitch ends up where he wants it to? I hope I have made this clear. If not, let me know and I can explain further.

In the show you are always aiming where you want the pitch to break, not where it ends up. So if you want a slider to hit the corner of the plate you actually have to set up outside the zone quite a bit. You can still hide the ball cursor and turn off the vibration to challenge yourself. Matching the ball icon up top is not overly easy so you will not be painting.

..and make the marker tiny and put it in the corner!

I will remember that Nemesis when you attempt to get that 1-2 slider past me.

Re: New Video

looks great, im realy pumped for analog controls as i never played ncaa baseball 07, just 06. This looks great, fwiw, i got my preorder all set up and ready to go. I just wish i could cough up $60 for the new controller to use with the new controls.

To late your "BOOKED", in regards to the video the analog pitching looks real good. I will definitely use this mode, no doubt.

Re: New Video

This looks very natural and promising.

With analog, does control ratings (e.g., BB/9) of players matter at all on pitch accuracy? I've been using classic because my command of pitches is too good with every single pitcher if I use the meter pitching. Hoping erratic pitchers remain erratic with analog control.
