Classic controls were the fundamental controls from 09 and 10. Batting type is zone, which means you line your plate coverage indicator (Transparent Yellow circle)to where the ball is hitting the strike zone. Then you hit with the face buttons. This year they added a contact swing (circle) and moved the bunting command to triangle. Square is still power and X is a normal swing.
Pitching is simple with these controls. Select the pitch you want, select a location you would like (remember to account for the break of the pitch) then press X to throw. Theres no meters or timing based requirements. Just pick, place and pitch.
Fielding is simple as well. Your face buttons are set up just like the infield is. Circle first, Triangle second, and others alike. If you play road to the show these controls are backwards to them so i recommend that you practice in exhibitions or change the controls of RTTS. This is optional.
I understand we all likely use different controls. I myself prefer the new Pure Analog system as it helps with timing my swing, but i want everyone to be able to compete and i feel these controls are the easiest way for that to happen. Anymore questions please ask.
Thank You
