Thanks, Pared. I'm stoked for the new physics.

This right here made my day.

My man Trues! The fellas still over at MVPMods really have to check the game out.

Yes they do. I've been hooked for a few years now. This game is amazing!

Nice writeup, Pared. Thanks for taking the time.

I was wondering if you played with analog hitting (RS only) and still witnessed good ball physics - your up and in example?

I thought '11 did a great job of making the user work the count to make good contact on the ball - I always had great success in sticking to a zone and waiting for a pitch. Do you find that '12 has amplified this because of the new ball physics? For example, do you find yourself taking more pitches in the zone in '12 than you did in '11?

Can the size of the pulse be modified?

It pretty much sums up the benefit of such an event as gave examples back and forth as to how the change can benefit everyone. This still will allow for hits down the line to fall into the corner, something that was a concern. Fielders were also slowed up a bit to allow hits to drop in over fielder’s heads – late game defensive substitutions are especially key now more than ever.

Gappers! 10char

Pared, good write-up, although as a fellow Mets fan, it pained me to see you write that opening. While the Rangers-Cardinals World Series was no doubt exciting, you (and I can't believe you overlooked it) failed to mention the awesomeness that was the 1986 Playoffs.

Both LCS series were off the charts and we all know what happened in the World Series.
