Not this year.

That sucks. Sorry about the repost, hadn't refreshed my page since yesterday.

Well, I definitely won't be using either of these features. I don't like arcade-like look of the pulse pitching, so I'll stick with analog.

The zone analog hitting looks really nice, but to be honest I don't think I'll be ready for that challenge. I'll stick to the basic analog hitting as well so I don't have to worry about the left stick at all.

He got a concussion a couple years ago and opted to wear Rawling's ridiculously oversized concussion helmet for a bit before he got tired of the entire universe making fun of him (note that the real "ridiculously oversized" helmet is not quite as Dark Helmetly awe-inspiring as Brett's picture though...lol)

The whole league will be having to wear them soon enough (though they've apparently found a way to make them a little smaller). I believe a couple players wear a smaller version already.

Yep.
I believe the minor league player must all wear them this year. Then the MLB will eventually have everyone wearing one as well.

I'm actually looking forward to the ZAB alot! I instinctively tried to aim my swing with the left stick using Analog batting in 11. I actually found it difficult to aim my right stick towards the pitch (at the 11 and 1, so to speak) so this is a godsend.

Will minor league players be programmed to automatically wear these new helmets with double ear flaps next year?

I'm assuming that this will not be in this years game.

I love it when the roster editors do this for us, making all the minor leaguers wear the double ear flapped helmets, but its mildly annoying when you call a player up and forget to change their helmet to the single flap.

It's also annoying when you come across generated players that have the one flaps in the minors as well.
