Similar to when EA added analog control to its Fight Night series and 2k added it for the NBA 2k series, Sony is going to add analog control for pitching and hitting in their upcoming MLB 11 The Show.

ESPN's Jon Robinson, getting the first preview of Sony's genre-leading baseball franchise, says the analog-based pitching will transition to a gesture-based system that's somewhat similar to the new batting controls. Both involve pulling down on the right analog stick - which starts a batter's step or initiates a pitcher's windup. The player then drives the stick to the top. In pitching, the direction of the final thrust will affect the pitch's placement in or out of the strike zone, and the force you put behind it will impact its velocity.

Unlike EA, Sony is also keeping the traditional controls as an option and not having to wait for a patch or DLC for button controls. Analog controls however will be set as the default control setup for the game.
Also announced was 3D-capability for the game, Move-enabled control setup, and 2-vs-2 or 2-vs-CPU modes.
