Pull it back whenever you want and then just push up. Whooptee doo... PS Can't wait for the game...

to a point you are correct but they use analog in more then just hitting, and you can switch back in the retail version so the timing of your step makes a difference, all I was saying is the analog controll is more next gen 2k brought it about and now a lot of people really like it in more then just baseball, all i was saying is it gets old seeing somebody say why did they add analog in like 85% of their posts it was a waste of time, but a very large majority like analog controlls

It's a thread for people to post what they are seeing with the demo. Mr. Jonah Falcon is gracing us with his presence here. We should show him the respect he deserves! Talkin' Yankees rules, Jonah!

i agree he has every right to give his impressions good or bad, but saying the same thing in 85% of his posts(why have analog controlls it's so stupid they are so dumb) gets old after reading it twice, give me all the impressions you want just say what you say once and move on to the next thing

does that make more sense to you now?????

I disagree with that. It doesnt even need to be a "meter" but there must be some type of user error that creates an actual error on the field. Obviously in real life if a player throws the ball in the dirt or 5 feet over a 1st basemens head his mechanics werent PERFECT.

Something needs to represent that on the video game baseball diamond. 2k chose meters.



As for the demo. I liked it a lot.

Why are the controls impossible to figure out? I have no idea at all how to hit.

Hold the right analog down to get ready to hit, and push up to swing, as if you're swinging.

Use the right thumbstick, pull back and then forward. "Swing" at the pitch.

For the guys repeating themselves, find something else to do. Do yourself (and us) a favor and delete the demo and move on and find something productive to do. Either that or put all your posts in one. Posting 43 different times how the CPU won't do this, so and so looks stupid and the controller won't work when upside down is a disgrace to baseball gaming is getting old.

This has to be one of the worst impressions thread in OS history and it isn't because of the game.

Have any of you press the directional button down arrow when you're up at bat or pitching?

It brings up the batting order and you can pinch hit for any batter batting with pressing the player to substitute and then hitting the right button to the bench for the batter to bat.
For pitching it brings up the batting order again and then you hit the right button and it takes you to the pitchers and you can either warm up or substitue the pitcher. When you warm up a pitcher, you can view the bullpen too.

This is a neat and fun game.
