Analog hitting changed or not?

[ScouserHUN]

Last night watching the twitch stream I found something interesting and it's driving me nuts...

Ramone and the other devs talked about how they changed the hitting interface, simplifying the analog hitting controls. However this is a big, unwanted change for me.

I've been using the analog hitting & pitching exclusively since it was introduced a few years ago and I'm so used to always pulling back the right analog stick for a stride and moving it forward for a swing. Now, they say, you don't have to pull back (stride) for contact and normal swings.

Do you think, or have there been any indications, that the previous system is still in place and this is just another option to use, or they completely changed the analog interface and you can't go back to what you are used to.

This is the biggest question for me regarding MLB 15 The Show and this needs clarification BIG TIME!

I would appriciate Ramone to give us a word (I know this is gonne be the topic in one of the streams, but an earlier answer would be nice)

Thank you!

It has changed. You do not determine the stride portion anymore. So for a normal swing you just push up from idle, flick left or right for a contact swing and down then up for a power swing.

This is bad news then... It is going to be a real pain in the *** to get used to the new system.

2 years ago I remember Ramone saying to be proud of having all the control options from past years. He also said, that they always tried to add to it and not taking away options.

For me, this is a letdown

They did not take analog away they changed the process. I understand you are disappointed though.

I'm still going to buy the game, and it's still going to be the best sports game as always. It's just dissapointing

I know, that analog hitting was not used by too many people and maybe they wanted it to appeal for more players. It just s*cks for those who liked it as it was.

Still hope they gonna bring it back

I thought it was just an option to use the one-flick analog system... maybe I misheard

Me too!
No more stride seriously?!
Man that felt so natural. I don't know just flicking the stick up doesn't do it for me. 2K had that (tried it in a demo few gears ago) and really wasn't feeling it!
Total bummer if this is true

There is no stride performed by the user.
