Check Swing With Xbox 360 Controller?

[aceshigh]

Hello people! Does anyone know how to check swing in MLB 2K12, using the Xbox 360 controller? If I remember well, in 2K11, all you had to do was stop the analog stick around halfway through the "swing", but this seems not to be working on 2K12, and I find myself swinging at really bad pitches all the time, even if I slightly push the stick. This happens both on contact swings and power swings. However, I once happened to notice that, during a power swing, I "swung" so fast that my thumb slipped off the stick and it accidentally pressed either the A or the X button on the controller (I don't remember which one) and the batter actually checked his swing! Since then, I have tried numerous times to make it happen again, with no results. So here I am, wondering if anyone else has an answer to this, because even the game's instruction manual doesn't help. Thanks in advance to whoever will chime in!

At best it's a random thing. I've had it happen a few times and it's just happens when you least expect it. I use the simplified batting, just push the bottom button and at times it will happen if I stop it, but maybe 5% of the time???maybe that much.

I use the analog stick. You have to quick pull back on the stick mid swing and the player will check. It does take some skill to get used to it.

Awesome, thanks for the replies! At least I know there is a way, no matter how hard it is. Raidersbball20, I use the analog stick too, but it has happened only once in the 2 years that I've owned the game. It's gonna be kinda hard to master, as apparently I tend to "swing" too hard on the analog stick. I had to change the left stick twice, because of the cover coming off of it or the rubber wearing out. Thanks again!
