Also, do u have control freaks? Those help out a ton with pci placement.
what is that?
It’s an extension to the analog sticks basically. Allows me to have a lot more control over the pci. Most top players use em. They’re generally around $15
o wow i didnt even know that was a thing... ill look into it... what does it do? it just makes the analog stick longer?
Have you tried without a pci? Some players are better that way and just hitting pitches down the middle. This doesn’t work well above all star though.

It doesn’t matter what you do. Pci placement and swing time mean nothing. Rng decides if you get a hit
If you actually believe this, you’re just bad. The game is too random, which is frustrating, but having the best pci placement and timing possible gives you the best chance of getting hits.

Highly recommended focusing on the pitchers release point as well. I generally sit fastball and react to offspeed
When it comes to dropping your PCI, I think almost everyone has that issue...myself included at times lol. Try to focus on having your PCI still at pitch release and react from there. Relax, anticipate and react
Also, batting practice on HOF or Legend will help as well

If his problem is moving the pci down, he doesn’t have great control over the pci. Making the pci even more sensitive is probably only going to increase his problems, not help them.
Control freaks allow you to more accurately place the pci wdym lol. I had problems dropping my pci before using them. That’s their purpose.
Actually, from their website it says their purpose is to help make smaller, more precise in game movements. Good players use them because they have excellent pci control and benefit from even more precise input. OP has said he isn’t a very good player, so I would assume it’s safe to say he has poor pci placement and control and would not benefit from the increased sensitivity. By all means, go ahead and try them out, if they help, awesome. But from what I’m gathering it’s only going to throw fuel on his fire.
It’s hard to not flick the pci without control freaks. With control freaks, it’s easier to get more precise placement, despite skill.
I’m glad that has been your experience and they helped you. It’s more precise because it takes less movement. OP has stated he flicks it too much so he struggles with precision. Making it more sensitive would be the opposite of helping him. Can’t hurt to try them out tho.

Actually those kontrol freaks don’t make it more sensitive, in actuality it makes the pci less sensitive and more smooth. It simple physics. The further away from the base you get the more pressure is needed to make a movement. So if you raise the analog stick the more pressure you’ll need to move the stick. Hence they will help a person who has a problem over correcting (dropping pci) .

I don’t know what ‘simple physics’ you’re referring to, but if you’re under the impression that the further away from a base you are, then more pressure is needed to make movement, then you need a refresher. See...any torque wrench or any other object designed to reduce work by extending an object away from its base.

You’re absolutely correct. The cheater bar is another example. But you are actually applying more force by doing that that’s why the adjustment is smoother. The force however is be applied at the base of the object. That is what I mean by applying more force.

Well then that makes a lot more sense. But it still requires less work/pressure on the person applying it to apply the same/more amount of force. I’m surprised you had 3 people agree with your statement tho lol. Anyway, I’m done arguing this. Makes no difference to me whether I’m right or wrong, but from what I’m reading, small movements with a KF would be more sensitive and require less pressure, but it would take more movement to get to the edges of the strike zone, so in all actuality, these could be exactly what OP needs. Have a good day. Took me back a while to the old university physics classes for a minute. Kind of enjoyed reading up to be honest. Geez I never thought I’d say that

I’m hardly one to give hitting advice (I’d listen to Mitch) but if you’re dropping the pci, maybe just try to be more selective and only swing at fat mistakes until you’re down in the count.
I’ve found moving the pci as little as possible helps me a lot.
Obviously there are players who can get the pci on everything, but that is not you right now. Start by trying to not miss the good pitches to hit and leave the dots alone.
Eventually you will get better at reacting to other stuff too, but that takes time.
-
I had the same problem with dropping my PCI. I would recommend watching “MLB 20 hitting tips” by YourFriendKyle on YouTube. I’m a much better hitter after watching it a couple times . Kyle is da man!

Think about it like this. A torque wrench is used to make a small adjustment much easier so as to to not over torque the object that is being measured. A torque wrench is a cheater bar with a specific measurement calibrated into the adjustor. It’s easier for the user because the force of the torque is being spread out over a leveraged instrument ie the bar. The longer the bar the further the handle has to move to make that adjustment. The KF uses this principle in the same manner. The higher the stick is the further you have to move the stick for the adjustment on the screen to be made. If you were closer to the base any movement happens quicker and much more sudden so someone who has a problem over correcting will find KF to be a great way to help with that adjustment just like the torque wrench helps the mechanic torque your lug nuts on your tire rims or hubcaps.

I can say that the control freaks have helped me. I'm still not very good at the game but my hitting has improved a great deal this year over previous years.

yeah but im not even getting the pci on the ball at all... i always drop... i dont even make solid contact most of the time... if i was hitting balls hard left and right then i would understand thats it not me
Hold your controller upside down

I think I’m in the minority here. I’ve tried out Kontrol Freeks and they made me a much worse hitter. I’m not quite sure why, but they just never clicked for me. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

@BostonSlugger33 said in ok i suck:
con. ALWAYS DROP MY PCI. Please give me some tips to be a better hitter. how do yall do it? please help!
To curb the pci drop I put the left analog stick Just below the first bend in my thumb so the tip of my thumb is not touching the stick at all just the first knuckle joint resting over the inside edge. This feels really goofy at first but it is very effective in limiting the range of motion of you pci, basically it’s not easy to “drop” the pci below the strike zone because of the position of your thumb on the stick. It takes a couple of days to get used to it but you will notice an improvement because your pci movement is limited to a much tighter range

i am really bad at hitting. like reallllllly bad. my pitching is pretty good i only let up like 3-4 runs max a game.
My lineup is:
98 Kenny lofton
99 Roger Hornsby
99 Acuna
99 stanton
99 miggy
99 steve pearce
99 carlos correa
99 travis d'arnaud
now my lineup is ok but that is not the problem. its me. 100%. i suck. what are some tips for me to be a better hitter? i see people hitting bombs left and right and i just cant. i have a hard time reading the ball andJust my observation but I suck too so take it as you will. You have a bunch of dudes with long swings, Travis, Pearce, Miggy, Stanton. I do much better with guys who don’t have that long swing

Yeah I agree. Seems like that’s all that’s left is guys who are 150-60 and that stuff so it definitely feels good when we can take one home lol.

I was in the same place as recently as early last year and I’d now consider myself a very good player (probably top 200 maybe? Idk). Here’s what helped me make the jump:
Spend a few games just tracking the pitch until two strikes. By this I mean start the PCI at the release point, and try to “catch” the pitch. Don’t swing until two strikes. With two strikes go crazy - but with the same technique, only swinging now.
Many top players don’t start their PCI at the release point, but that is because they have crazy reaction. Not everyone does. Eventually you’ll be able to read pitches well and you’ll be able to move your PCI to where the pitch will end up instead of tracking it.
Now I will warn you your timing might suffer with this technique. So when you get used to getting the PCI in a good place yet maybe you’re late on the pitch TURN THE PCI OFF. This allows you to use the muscle memory you’ve built up but also not be distracted by the PCI.
Those are just my two cents. It’s what helped me become a consistent WS player (I think my RS record is around 190-60). I still use these tips when struggling - if my PCI placement is off I’ll track pitches for a while with <2 strikes. If my timing is off, I turn the PCI off and it helps me get back to where I want to be.
