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.

It doesn’t matter what you do. Pci placement and swing time mean nothing. Rng decides if you get a hit
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.

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!
Wow! I had no idea he was that good. I played him the other day in the event and I actually beat him. I wouldn’t expect to do it again, but you know what they say? Even a broken clock is right twice a day

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

LOL, nice! I’m an average player online and have pulled out some event W’s against WS players. I need the little ego boosts like that in this game

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.

I 'm in the same boat. My first inclination is ALWAYS to move my PCI down. I focus on trying to keep my thumb on the bottom half of the control stick. I used to keep it middle/top and just drive my thumb down. This helps a little, but I still tend to shift down.

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
i went out and bought them yesterday... i dont know which one is best for MLB the Show though... there were many options but on the back of the one i got it said that low-rise is the best option for sports games so i got one with low and high-rise... does the rise matter all that much?
