Aftertouch looks absolutely pointless for anything except multiplayer based on @passwordistaco video.

it’s a feature that you use to put the ball left or right of where the ball marker is.

absolute zero utility for anyone not an online bro.

Aftertouch looks good if you’re bowling on arcade controls. That’s what I’ve noticed

Unless I missed it, it didn’t effect length, just line. And even then didn’t seem an obvious correlation between the input and the amount of difference between marker and landing point.

haven’t played it, this is all just going off the video, so I’m likely missing some nuance. But it looked like a sucker’s gimmick to me. Something to make people go “oooh” but adds zero depth.

Streaming it now if anyone cares xo

Where’s the nicks???

Any update on when it will go live on steam

yeah fair enough, the video I saw he liked it but its probably still be in development. The only time I sort of noticed it was some inswing and yes didn’t effect length. Hopefully they can refine it and make it more useful. If by release it make a difference to in-swing/out-swing etc then could be good. However could be one of those things that Big Ant add to the game but just can’t get the refinement right. Happened a lot with AO tennis specially when they patched and adjusted things like difficulty, player movement and ball speed. Sometimes would go from one extreme to the other and visa versa.

From what I just sure it purely just adjusts the line. Unless the length was marginally changed on the classic controls they seemed identical to 19. I mean the online crew will be turning in their graves when the ball is meant to be pitching middle and lanes foot outside off! How’s the bros meant to helicopter that!!

yep. I can’t see how it would benefit vs AI in single player or career, so it’s only really gonna be a multiplayer thing and you just know it’s gonna cause absolute scenes online

It's on the PS5 store, just gotta go down to pre order and dig through the games

So I've just played it for a couple hours, my initial thoughts.

• Cut shot way better, batter actually moves feet.
• Advance shot is sensational when timed right, advancing and playing an aggressive ground stroke is awesome, probably my favourite shot
• Aftertouch doesn't seem to do anything on Pro controls, works best on Arcade. Not sure if I'm missing something when using Pro.
• Overall, batting seems more fluid, smoother. There is still that uppercut shot off a spinner which I've never seen in real life though

Might be a while for subcontinent to have PSN loaded. Gotta wait for few more hours... Probably a day I guess

What about the unorthodox shots mate?
