Analog or Zone hitting? Why?
-
so you use a view that can see the batters body?
-
I used analog several years ago before switching to zone...Analog is fine on All-Star difficulty & lower but once you hit HOF it’s really hard to consistently hit because the timing window is much smaller. You’re better off sticking with zone, Once you get used to it you’ll be glad you did. Good luck either way.
-
Thanks man that’s what I’m wondering, if I can’t compete as good as everyone else at the top with analog then I’m not gonna use it
-
So is the vision stat basically meaningless if you are using zone hitting?
-
I chase the ball out of the box and swing like an idiot when I use zone. I have so much focus on getting the PCI on the ball that I lose focus on timing and letting balls go.
I don't like directional at all.
With PA I just wait on good pitches and hope my player is better at putting the PCI on target than I am. Surprisingly I'm doing better with PA than anything else. -
Yeah I feel the same, when I use zone I just lose all sense of the strike zone and swing at the dumbest pitches like you said because I’m so focused on getting the pci placed....so what stat determines how good a player gets the pci on the ball with analog hitting? Is it vision or contact?

No, It’s not meaningless. The vision determines the size of the center of your pci. The contact rating determines the size of the outer part of the pci.

Oh wow really....ahhh that’s exactly the info I was trying to get thanks a lot bro appreciate that. So vision is the inside and most important part?

Yes & no...The center of the pci or the “vision” is where you want the ball to be for hitting homers or perfect/perfect hits but when I get 2 strikes on me I contact swing & that encompasses the outside of the pci which makes it much more likely that you’ll put the ball in play.

Surprisingly I'm doing better with PA than anything else.Just stick with it, that will get better with time, promise. I used to use PA, switching to zone has been a life saver. Fight through the early frustrations, you'll end up being much better very quickly. And, it's a lot more fun to use.
At first, pick an area that the pitcher seems to go to often, swing if it's there, otherwise hold off until two strikes. Eventually, you'll find the place you like to start the PCI, and you'll get better at moving it to pitches as you expand YOUR zone. You got this.

Awesome, thanks guys yeah I basically wanted to know it it was worth the frustration of learning but I definitely will use it from now on

Zone is so RNG this year so it doesn't really matter.

Not quite; the inner PCI is contact and vision; the outer PCI is straight vision.

RNG? What does RNG mean?

I'll try from time to time, but last night in RS I beat a guy 8 to 4 (maybe 5) and I hit 5 home runs with PA hitting.

RNG stands for random numbers generator, its more or less a programming algorithm. Youll find any setting or option you can use that depends on user input instead of cpu input is going to give you the best consistency.

Ahhh I see

Unless the computer is better at placing the PCI than you are! In that case you're foolish NOT to use it.
-
For sure so do any super good players use analog?

No, It’s not meaningless. The vision determines the size of the center of your pci. The contact rating determines the size of the outer part of the pci.
You have it backwards... Vision is that lightly shaded outer part, contact is the heavier shaded inner part.
OP... If you pause the game and go into help there is a manual in there that explains all of this, not many people realize it's there but it does a great job explaining everything
