MLB 12 The Show Videos - Zone Analog Batting and Pulse Pitching

[nomo17k]

Don't know why people keep thinking that you MUST move PCI as they follow the pitch (that must be hard!!). Another legit way of using it is to move the PCI beforehand and wait for the pitch to come to the area. I think I'll try hitting that way first and see if I fare better than I do right now with Pure Analog.

It's because I did!

Also good to see the baserunner NOT patting his helmet rounding 2nd base after the longball.

I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking the exact same thing. It's not going to stop me from trying though. If it's as good as it looks, it will definitely be my favorite mode, even if it means batting on Veteran or All Star difficulty (down from HoF Zone in 2011)

If the circle ends up on the larger side(less accurate) you can see the pitch wander outside the circle.

I know I will completely suck at analog hitting this year, can't wait to try out the pitching though

Looks fantastic, but damn does the new hitting look hard hah.

I'm with you. I was on All Star Zone last year (I seem to be progressively going down in difficulty each year...lol) and will, without shame, bump down to Rookie if needs be. I'm going to give it a good shot.

Either way though, one of the best things about this series is how they keep their options in. So standard zone hitting will still be there for me if I fail miserably at the new mechanic.
