    These last couple comments are a good laugh lol

    Still at the mercy of RNG and the cpu big guy, I actually like to be able to control where I’m swinging 🤷🏽‍♂️

    In baseball, your control of your swing and where you want the ball to go is based on timing.. if I get a low and in pitch, I need to be early and get the barrel through the zone to pull it. If I get a high and outside pitch, I can wait for it to get deep before pushing it oppo. This is something the show has moved away from and it’s obvious if you ever feel like you timed a pitch perfectly but just pulled it foul, pause the game and go back to the replay. It happens constantly that your barrel is perfectly square with the pitch making it look like an easy hit to CF and it ends up going foul. The devs have made this game fantastically, this is just something that is very hard to put in, and that’s why they use things like PCI to distract you...

    Timing is one part of swinging. You can perfectly time up every pitch, but you’ll be screwed every time if the pitch is in the upper or lower parts of the strike zone and you don’t move the bat to it.

    You have to move the bat to the ball. Hitting irl isn’t 100% timing based.

    I understand that, but PCI is not correct. A barrel is 2-5/8 inches wide, and maybe 12 inches long, a strike zone is roughly 17 inches wide by 24 inches tall. Having a circle that you can move at any given time is nowhere near realistic for “placement of the bat” to make solid contact. If you wanna keep pci fine, but make it realistic instead of a huge oval that doesn’t truly represent where the bat needs to be placed to make solid contact.

    I don’t use pci, I use analog hitting and see where the ball goes.

    Thank you for being a man and not cringy 🙂

    This is a video game. I highly doubt many people would actually want the pci to be the exact size of the barrel.

    The only way to truly make an authentic hitting interface is in VR. Until then, PCI is the most realistic we have. In the context of pci vs no pci, pci is more realistic.

    All hitting interfaces have the same size oval. Just look at your swing feedback.

    The difference is with zone, you can choose where that oval goes while at the same time, timing your swing with the x button. With the other hitting interfaces, you only time your swing and cross your fingers the huge oval is on the ball.

    You can't make sense to these button pressers PCI aiming people, let them be...if they want to play games in an acrady way let them. Prolly most of them play DD and Conquest of whatever the new online thing is, let them give SDS more money so they can keep improving on The Show from year to year.

    No way, pci is not at all realistic to how true baseball is played. I’m not placing some giant oval where the ball is pitching when I’m playing ball. I’m timing the pitch and putting the less than 3 inch barrel close to it and hitting it where I want it to go

    So you’re saying just timing a pitch is more realistic than timing + placing the barrel on the ball?

    By all means, I’d love to hear how your preferred interface would work, and how much different it is from zone+pci.

    A baseball bat has a 2-5/8 inch wide barrel.. not a 15 inch wide by 10 inch tall barrel. Ik y’all played with those orange bats as kids but this simulation baseball.. not your backyard

    I told you earlier, if you want pci that’s fine, but it needs to be a 2-5/8 inch barrel by about 12 inches. Not a 15 inch by 10 inch oval. This would make it so much more realistic to you pci lovers..
    And as for a better system, right analog hitting along with timing. Except, where you push forward the analog is the direction of your swing. Pull back to stride, push forward left for left field, forward center for center field, and forward right for right field. As for grounders down on the left stick simultaneously, and for fly ball$ up on the left stick simultaneously

    You just sound ignorant, man. Are you even sure what you're saying? Pure analog, zone, and directional all have the same PCI. You just choose to not have it as a movable interface with pure analog.

    Ok, do me a favor. Make sure swing feedback is turned on, choose a lower difficulty level, go into a game or practice or whatever, swing at a pitch, and look at the swing feedback. Is the yellow buckshot 2-5/8" in diameter? Or is it much bigger?

    Now do the same thing with the other two hitting interfaces.

    The buckshot is the same size. You're not better than anyone.
