I'll stick with the pulse pitching for now because it's not terrible and I can see the potential in being able to use it properly.
      I think being a guitar player helps me. I can tap to the beat. In fact, i think it is easier as the speed increases

          I like analog pitching just fine, but analog fielding and hitting can die in a fire. I roll analog pitching + zone hitting + buttons.

          Analog pitching is the only one of the three "TOTAL ANALOG" modes that makes any sense, and is intuitive based on the action you are performing.

            I agree that is they way to go...I need to practice more on it. Sometimes I just want to throw a strike and I just fucking cant!

              Yeah it's really hit or miss. Sometimes I just aim at the middle of the strike zone and try to just let it move naturally away from the zone to induce whiffs. If you try to get too fine with the corners you'll end up throwing a ton of balls.

                I think I'm just going to stick with analog-everything again this year. Lack of velocity control for Pulse Pitching is a turnoff.

                      What is pointing to that? I played one game last night and it was smooth as silk. Others are saying the same thing. The connection issues are much improved this year.

                        He read some posts somewhere and that apparently defines the service this year.

                        Complaining for the sake of complaining if you ask me.

                            I just had my first game. I did a quick connect and it was Dodgers(me) versus Nationals. I won 4-0 with 8 hits and one error. I hit two doubles and one triple. No home runs, but then I was the Dodgers. Kershaw was my starter and he only gave up one hit. I struck the other guy out 23 times and walked him twice. He struck me out 7 times and committed 3 errors.

                            I like the pulse pitching better than the meter, but then I didn't really have to pitch under pressure much. I could really notice when Kershaw was getting tired. Overrall, I'm happy with this game. Lag was not an issue.

                                It's funny, you read some online impressions and some people complain, some don't. I guess if you ignore the ones not complaining you would think everyone is.

                                Nobody here is really having an issue either.



                                You go to the Show forums and the complaints, I mean yeah? There's a few threads with like...5 replies. Wonder where all the other MLB online players are? Probably enjoying the game and not bitching online?

                                I don't doubt some people are having issues and such, but to say it's the same as last year couldn't be more wrong. But don't listen to us, we've only played the game...



                                Do the EA NHL forums not have people complaining about disco's and freeze issues starting from NHL 08?

                                Do the Madden forums not have people complaining about lag and connection fuck ups?

                                Meh.
