Pulse pitching is much more realistic than analog imo (and I was a huge fan of analog). Google it for a proper description, but its pretty much a pulsating circle after you select the pitch and you have to time the cicle to be as small as possible. The rate and size of the circle all depend on the pitcher ratings. In 11, I could still pitch very well against major league batters with a minor league pitcher that was much lower rated. I have tried that with pulse pitching and I get rocked. Also with analog, it was way too easy to paint corners and have cy young-like outings, but with pulse pitching it feels much more realistic without feeling like you are getting cheated. Another thing I will say for pulse pitching is that with analog, I would never walk a batter unless I wanted to......with pulse pitching, it feels more like a battle to make good pitches and I have walked a few already.
