But did they really remove the 3-step pitching process? I totally get what people are talking about because 2k8 was all analog in the 3 step-process.

Right now the Pitching Mechanic is STILL a 3 step process, what VC did was remove that 1st analog motion (pitch selection) & replaced it with the face button.

As for the Analog Hitting Process, the reality is the Step-Influence wasn't done very well even with a slider for it. To the point as Jayhawker said people would 0 the slider out.

You can say VC has tried to appeal to a broader audience & I will agree with that. I also will say they may have scrapped stuff that was already in place to try & re-do the whole series & put their personal stamp on the title.

I agree that some of the things that were in the series before VC took over should have stayed & been refined. But we also should consider stuff may have needed to be taken out due to code, when they decided to take over.

EDIT: Sorry Pared just saw your message after posting this.
