Holy cow this moment is literally impossible. Hard enough to get 8 totals bases in one game, but the pitchers don’t throw strikes and when they do they are on the black in the bottom of the zone which equals ground balls. Then, it turns out the Braves have 9 gold glovers on their team and any ball that is hit and doesn’t leave the yard is an out. How in the world am I supposed to get 8 TBs when pitchers don’t throw strikes and the defense doesn’t allow any hits.

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?

Doesn’t matter who I play, who is hitting for me, where the pitch is located, or how good my timing is, anytime I get a runner on first i ground into a double play. I seriously had 6 (SIX) freaking double plays turned on me against the Fernanado Valenzuela Showdown boss... on Veteran. I think when Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell, Yordan Alvarez, Max Muncy, and Jose Abreu square up pitches with good timing they hit liners or home runs. NOT ground balls right to infielders for easy double plays. The hit timing logic is so bad. Hitting .200 with perfect timing and .125 with good timing probably.

I used Pure Analog for about 10 days, just getting my timing down and learning to lay off bad pitches.
So after getting comfortable with that, I switched back to zone but stuck with the right stick on flick mode (instead of using the buttons to swing).
So now I'm using zone+flick and I love it.
PA is good against the CPU, all you do is wait on a meatball and swing, but against other humans who put the ball right on the corners and don't throw meatballs, zone is required and kind of easier.
If I noticed the guy that I am playing likes to go back to a certain spot often, I'll just sit on that spot and wait....BOOM.

I’d like to be able to use Zone and Analog, but I just can’t do both at once! Props to you for the masterful Hand-Eye Coordination!

Pure analog is so bad right now I almost feel forced to switch it.

Stick with it friend!! don't move to the button mashing PCI casual side cause soon after you might be tempted to play DD and then its all over for you!!

I’ve been using analog since way back with 2k. Definitely not switching. It’s just frustrating.

2K is what got me started on using the stick to hit too!
