Just wanted to see what others who use Pure Analog Hitting are thinking of the game so far this year. Seems to be a lot more difficult to get solid hits. Double plays, mile high fly balls, and pop-ups to the catcher are very common occurrences for me this year. How about you guys?
Pure Analog here for me
... loving the gameplay but not having the issues you are in regards to solid hits. I used to use stride hitting as well but I grew tired of having to memorize everyone's strides and try to match it with the pitcher's delivery. My biggest struggle hitting is going with the outside pitches and being patient enough to wait on them. -

Its so much better than button mashing X and moving a bullseye target around like I'm hunting birds.

Pure Analog Stride hitting is always the way to go when playing The Show, it seems more natural and doesn't involve aiming at a target like its Duck Hunt or button mashing X like its a baseball game from the 90s. Its an actual swing of a baseball bat but I'm sure you know that already, its just that causal PCI noobs don't understand that. But to get to your question..no, once you practice for a while and play about 20 games you'll get a feel for the hitting and you'll realize when you hit a high fly ball or hit into a double play its your fault...don't be discourage like a casual noob, just keep practicing and take swings and it will all come together.
Here we go....another 400 ranked player giving his expertise
Dude I'm not an online casual noob....I'm a simulation player. Why would I play some casual online that has no idea how to work the count and have no idea how a baseball game is suppose to be played?

@joshjays44_PSN @xMarTiiniix_XBL im telling you try out Zone-hitting with Analog to swing but turn PCI off and it will be invisible but you can still control with left analog where to flick it and will still show in window after where you placed PCI...ever since I’ve been using this I been Mashing..I’ve always used pure Analog since 2k and MLB too and switched to zone hitting but with swinging with Analog then eventually I turned PCI off after mastering it ....I feel like it’s so cheezy to just hit a X button to swing the analog def has a true life feel to it and I’ll never go back from using it

Yeah dude, I know the PCI will become invisible if I do your method but I want the hitter's ability stats to determine more of the outcome not only me..I sorta want it 50/50 so that's why I do just Analog Stride...again I'm more of a realistic player not a casual noob DD kinda guy that plays these games in an arcady kinda way. That's why playing this way Sliders play a major role, and a lot of time is spent perfecting it. And yes, I agree with you..pressing X is such a silly way to hit in the Show, its almost like playing a racing sim but you're using a controller instead of a wheel...soo nooby.

How much do you get paid to throw the word "noob" into every single one of your post? Plus I think you should look up the definition of it because I think you use it incorrectly.
Noob, duck hunt and casuals in a rotation; I think he keeps a notepad/word file and copy pastes the same posts all year every year

I agree... I still use the analog to hit just without the stride. So it's either just up for a normal swing or back then up for a power swing and left or right for a contact swing. I just got away from stride the last few years I have played due to just wanted to make my gameplay more efficient. I wish I still had time to go back in and learn each players strides but I just don't anymore. Basically I'm just lazy now lol.

Analog hitters get the shaft in this game

Do any other analog online players feel like it’s totally changed in the last couple of weeks? I was killing it and now I’m lucky if I get 3 hits in a game.

No. I do not use pure analog.

Its totally fine for me, get realistic results hitting on Legend like a real man.

Josh, until you play online you will remain ignorant. Hitting on legend offline is like hitting on all-star or low tier hof online DD. It’s a lot harder then legend offline. Plenty of us who know the game just as well as you do. Plenty of great players who would destroy you and I promise you are not as good as you think and we all know how good you think you are. I respect that you use stride analog and I use it too but playing online DD is a different beast. If you are Canadian your ignorance is astounding. I am Canadian and I’ve humbled myself to realize these Yankees boys know their game and there are some [censored] good players who you can tell play real baseball year round their whole lives. Until you play online you are the noob who doesn’t know his place. If you are gonna brag make a video or something otherwise you just sound like some cracked out part-timer with some serious Rob Ford vibes. Get over yourself Man. -

Here's why online DD stuff is noobish, now I haven't played online but isn't there a default settings for all players to make the playing field is even?..so I'm guessing the pitch speeds for fastballs and offspeed is at default 5?. See to me that's way too slow so that's why it will be too easy for me..basically a fastball will seem like a changeup to me. Legend at pitch speeds max gives you .4 to .5 seconds to react so basically like in RL, that's the pace I wanna play at not at a snail's pace.

The pitch speeds on HOF DD are faster than legend default plus you have human opponents who can dot consistently which makes all the difference. But nvm that because you still haven’t shown any proof that you are the beast you say you are. You are a noob to reality. Come to DD and you will see...

I used to use pure analog but stopped once they took stride timing out. Don’t think it’s back in, or is it? Obviously, loading a stride then having to literally “wait back” on off speed pitches simulated an at bat better than clicking a button, and provided a greater challenge. That said, I mostly play online these days and use PCI+button as it gives me the most control which is best for competitive play (ps please don’t hate me)

MLB the Show is an arcade game, and while there are styles better suited to simulation, it still relies on user input, so it will never be a true simulation. If you’re interest in realism and simulation, you should check out OOTP. I got burned out from offline the Show since all my players had similar stats and tendencies (as I was controlling them), and have been satisfying my franchise itch on OOTP, while using the Show to compete against others online. I enjoy both games for what they offer!

I'm not sure if I am ready to put it on a change in the game yet, but I have definitely felt that for some reason over the last few days my hitting has really gone south. I am having a much harder time hitting my spots with my analog stick stroke than I was before and just not making any contact. Again, not sure if it's the game or just my eyes, but it's something.

I don't play anything at default dude, my sliders are work of many hours of tweaking and I play at Legend maxed out pitch speeds.
