    Zone hitting with Strike Zone view. Make sure your TV is in game mode ?

    Man, I've tried that EXACT sequence. Zone is the best for me currently but NOTHING is consistent. I've gone through all the camera angles.
    Why is it that I have the zone hitting marker directly over the ball location when it comes through the strike zone, swing perfectly (timing) and still miss?!?!?! It's maddening...

    The main thing he mentioned was make sure TV was in gaming mode. Or if you play on a monitor some monitors have a gaming mode too. I have had my TV go out of game mode before and I tried to play and it is night and day difference.

    Also if you havent played the game before you will have to practice some. Arent gonna pick it up and be good in a week.

    I've played every baseball game I could get my hands on since RBI Baseball (Nintendo) waaaay back in the 80's, I'm 37. I've NEVER had issues hitting till this game, on any baseball game I have EVER played. The zone hitting is exactly like Ken Griffey Jr. in 1998, which I loved, but it's [censored] near impossible now.
    I get the fact I'm old, but I still have perfect eye sight 🤣.
    Something is up.

    I am also old like you. I had trouble on day 1, but now I am getting several perfect perfects a game.

    Hitting has been good. One of the parts of the game that’s actually working. Gameplay is good.

    Xbox or Playstation? Camera angle? Type of hitting?
    I need more than "Hitting has been good". 🤣

    Zone PS5. Gameplay is good so far. Stub issues, servers, and XP amounts are wack. But gameplay is good.

    This. It was funny seeing a streamer last night complaining about hitting. See, the problem was he was used to getting cookies served up to him on a platter in 20 . This year you can actually pitch and he can't hit pitches on the corner.

    Last year's pitching was the worst I have ever seen in a video game. It is much improved so far this year.

    I'm an 'old' XBOX guy and new to The Show. I had the opportunity to be a part of the Tech Test and have been able to play around with game. The hitting is just plain difficult. But that is true of the actual game of baseball. It is said that hitting a 95 mph fastball is the most difficult thing to accomplish in sports. I agree with most here that it just takes practice to improve and while I still don't consider myself good by any means, I have improved. When I get frustrated, I switch to Dynamic Mode for hitting and let the game show me where I am (it will increase or decrease based on your performance). If I get dropped down to Veteran (or sadly sometimes Rookie) I play there for a while to get my confidence back and then level up to take my lumps!

    The main thing is that I am entertained and that is (IMO) what a GAME is supposed to do, Entertain!

    I've been waiting for a baseball game of worth to come to Xbox for a long time. I'm currently playing on Veteran and have changed camera angles, types of hitting (from zone, to analog, to directional) and used power, contact and normal swings but NOTHING is consistent.
    95+ mph fastball requires you to guess, you can hit the ball PERFECTLY and still dribble it, fly out or line drive out to a player...
    Help me to understand why I suck soooo bad at hitting.
    What Camera to use.
    What hitting type (zone, analog, directional)
    How to hit consistently.
    Cause I just don't f***ing get this man. Is frustrating the heck out of me to the point I'm about to put down the game till it gets fixed.
    RTTS is amazing but it's soooo frustrating.

    nah dude hittting is just fine - don't whine it is an unattractive quality in a man, just practice and remember - practice makes perfect

    Same here, in the process of refunding. Something is wrong with the Xbox ports. I’m guessing you’re on XOne too? I don’t want to pay 100$ and lose every game on Rookie with Perfect-Perfect swings 70% of the time and perfect PCI placement. Should have skipped on this, first-time releases usually sucks and ports from PS systems even more.

    Since I'm not a casual noob, I always find the hitting on The show on point on Legend with pitch speeds maxed out on Analog Stride with adjusted sliders for my Franchise every year.

    Lmao... I've played baseball games more than likely before you were born 🤣.
    Analog does the work for you... "but you aren't a casual noob".
    Anyone else hate kids like these? Nothing helpful.

    He’s not a kid he’s like 60 and hasn’t been able to find the franchise section for 2 years now. Also wouldnt use his hitting method, it might work on bronze level CPUs but not much else.

    If you're not playing multiplayer, just use the sliders.

    Every time something like this gets posted the user needs to upload a video of it to YouTube and drop a link here. I’m not buying what people are selling with these hitting is bad posts

    If you’ve never played it before, hitting can be hard.

    Are you hitting perfectly according to the game? Because if you are, there’s no way you’re hitting a dribbler.

    What do the results of your swing say? Are you keeping the marker where the pitch is when you swing or just aiming it there and letting go? Not trying to ask a dumb question.

    Roflmao... I see the PS4/5 kids got on. This forum is useless, just about as much as the commentary for the most part. I look at the commentary and the PS users are perfectly content while the Xbox users are suffering and they find joy in that 🤷‍♂️. Most of you don't read the comments either and your personal bias is showing BAD.
    JUST TO RECAP:
    I've been playing baseball games since before most of you were born... there IS something off for the Xbox port, period. I've had several of my friends say the same as well as scrolling the comment section to see the same.
    Get off your high horse peanut gallery and read the comments.
    Absolutely ridiculous. 90% of the posts are useless.

    I agree that some of these posts were kind of crappy. But you started this thread seeking help. Most of the responses were people clearly offering to suggestions.

    You got to find a camera you like. I personally like fisheye 2, but others like strike zone. I like seeing my batter though.

    You are playing RTTS, correct? There is a cross hair, you have to align that with the location as quick and accurately as possible. Then you hit RT.

    In the process of refunding 🥴. Way to give a game and a company a whole four days to fix what “might” be wrong. I have a feeling what you wrote is just a bunch of noob bs.

    The Xbox One, yes. But if you're not playing DD, just lower the difficulty level of hitting if it's really a problem.
