Power swing is the move this year. If your still normal swinging you are falling behind the times

Uh oh conflicting posts lol. I’m gonna have to do some trial and error and see
-
Normal for anything expect home run missions with crappy cards.

Same here.
-
I use contact swing every time now. Idc I’ll drink and dunk all day. I can’t get hits any other way lol sometimes I’ll even hit a no doubter with a couple of the high power guys

Definitely makes sense

It’s an exit velocity boost why would I say no?
The ball goes further, you get more homeruns, it lands in the gaps quicker, it flies past outfielders and beats them to the wall, it even bounces up into the air off infielders for some ground ball doubles.
One day people are gunna figure it out and fly threw showdowns instead of flying to the warning track.

Certain cards perform better utilising power swing. I use that with them, and normal otherwise. I think I've used contact 1 or 2 times.

Yep. This right here.

I always use normal. Sometimes to avoid striking out with my pitcher I use contact so the pitcher doesn’t gain much confidence
-
In moments if I have a non-power hitter and I need extra base hits, I'll sometimes switch to directional and hold the stick up and use the square button
-
I see better power results with normal, since day 1
-
Normal swing. For these Brandon Phillips moments I was power swinging
-
Offline I use power for rookie or veteran and normal for harder difficulties. Online I almost always use normal, but ill start mixing in some power swings if I notice that my opponent is getting predictable with his location. With two strikes I use contact, because I have terrible plate discipline and it allows me to foul more pitches off which hopefully increases my chances of getting something good to hit.
-
Contact on 0-2 or runner in scoring position and down a run
Power on 2-0, 3-0, or 3-1 or in moments requiring XBH
Normal every other time..it's worked for me decently so far

See it was my understanding that using power swing shrinks the PCI. Are you saying thats not the case. Also for power swing to work can I assume that the players need to have atleast 80 power vs LHP & RHP?

Your thinking is actually backwards. Power swing with low power guys and guys with over 100 power can actually homer with contact swing. I use X 99% of the time, only on Veteran and in moments/showdown do i use square. My PCI placement is not good enough to use square on AS so H2H is out for power swing. But will contact swing more H2H.
-
Normal unless tough pitcher with 2 strikes or with power hitter like Judge where Contact helps you square it up and still have plenty of power.
Used power in Phillips missions with great results. Nerf bat otherwise.

I do the same. However, I did hit a HR in an RS game with my all-time favorite 2B, Brian Roberts, with a contact swing. In 200 AB's with him, I have 3 HRs total - 2 with "Regular", one with "Contact". SMH.

Power in Moments, normal for everything else.
