Do you need the navigation controller or do you use the Dual Shock at all with the Move controls?

Sounds like it will be good. Of course the Show always is. I kind of wonder with all the Move talk if there will be much improvement for those of us that don't use the Move? Time will tell.

Pretty sure that it was said that the Move batting is timing only. I could be wrong, but I believe Pared mentioned it.

jpup is correct. I triple checked this.

But as I mentioned before, you would be hard-pressed to tell. Naturally you're going to swing at the ball anyway and the game does an incredible job of giving the correct hits/misses.

I will definitely check out the move controls...don't know how well it would work but I personally would love for it to track high/low and inside/outside swings in the future...

Same here. With timing only I'll just prefer to use the DS.

I missed this video before, but I've gotta say that, even though I'm not a big fan of motion controls, they make it look and sound very intuitive. I've been contemplating getting the Move for my son since he's starting to like the "cooler" (his words) games on the PS3 but loves his Wii controls. If I do, I'll definitely give these a look, despite my fairly rigid preference of a traditional controller.

If what happened with Pure Analog batting is any indication, we may have a chance on having the "Zone Move" batting mode in future!!

I hope so!!

I preface this by saying that I neither own nor have tried Move and have no idea what it is capable of, but I suspect that impelmenting a level of move and read that would allow for zone batting would probably be very very very difficult to get working correctly.

I'm in the exact same boat as you. I'm not a fan of motion controls (and Russell feels the same way by his comments at the end of that video + yawn prior to it lol) but this intrigues me and my kids would have fun with it too. I wonder if they will offer a Move bundle with MLB The Show 12 at release. They did it with Tiger Woods last year and with full Move support for the Show this year it would be nice to get a deal on it.

I still don't completely understand how pitching works. Like if you have to use a different motion for breaking balls or if your release point indicates the location of the pitch. It sounds as though you still pick your pitch and location prior to the pitch and then it's just about timing the trigger release right to hit your spot with your own arm speed triggering max speed.
