    Just warning everyone who upgrades to the series x to keep one of your old controllers and use that instead. I'm surprised not more people are talking about this because it's so ridiculous that xbox is selling a next generation controller that glitches out on a key part of the only baseball game they've had in almost a decade. Are you on this SDS? I think you've got more sway to influence Microsoft than I do...

    I use a wired xbox 1 controller for this game.
    Everything else I use the new series x controller.

    What happens? It's only with PinPoint?

    I haven't noticed it myself but you aren't the first person to bring it up. What's happening? I use stock series X controller off and on but I almost always use my Elite Series 2 controller. If you have the extra money I would strongly recommend buying yourself one. Each stick has 3 different setting for tightness and dead zone adjustments. You can remap any button to any paddle or button you want. Its a game changer in my opinion.

    About 10% of the time it stops the follow through motion way short of the target reticule like it does when you're really late, and says you're like .15 to .25 seconds early, resulting in a pitch that goes no control somewhere like right down the middle. When you're battery's low it does it like every time.

    I’ve had no issues with the Series 2 Elite controller. But I’m also still playing on the One X.
