MLB 11’s New Pure Analog Hitting System

This will be the last MLB entry, as this Tuesday, we will finally have it in our hands.
Ramone Russell // Community Manager, SCEA San Diego Studios stopped by the official Sony Blog and dropped a video, and some last minute info on the new hitting system.

To use the new Pure Analog Hitting system, simply pull back on the R-stick to stride and push forward in the direction of the incoming pitch to drive through the ball. Be sure to time your stride just as the pitcher releases the ball, a poorly timed stride will result in a less powerful swing. Don’t try to hold your stride back just waiting for the pitch — you’ll lose power! Time it like a real swing and begin your stride as the pitcher’s getting ready to deliver.
With a little practice, you’ll be piling up the RBIs in no time! And don’t forget, there’s only a few days left to pre-order MLB 11 The Show on PlayStation 3 for a FREE 30 day trial of Premium MLB.TV.
Welcome to The Show!

That is it for the MLB videos. Hopefully I have sold you on what appears to be the sports game of the year.
