    Miss perfect by 1 pixel...88 mph exit velo for a routine out. PCI misses the ball completely...no doubt bomb. This isn't wrong feedback, these are my results.

    This just happened to me, look at how stupid this is

    This problem is very bad, it needs to be addressed asap

    I got more, two RBI hit with Tom Glavine... I quit because I honestly feel like I’m making great pitches and being punished for it.

    Great job beating the shift lol. Tommy could swing the bat back in the day.

    Looking at the picture since the dark oval is the sweet spot. Depending on location a major league batter would have hit a opposite field line drive. Possibly for a hit depending on the shift. I’m curious is that what happened?

    No, he just got lucky, I don’t use the shift to avoid that. Still I get beat with this BS. I’m beyond frustrated with that BS. I’m off Ranked until they patch that [censored]. Pinpoint pitching is so good but hitting flukes with bad pci is better

    It's because contact swing is broken and everyone is abusing it.. It allows for crazy tip balls on very late /early and rewards bad pci and timing.. Free swingers are not striking out.

    I’ve been complaining about this since the tech test... this is annoying, people being late/early with their pci away from the ball are getting too many bloop hits... can we address this?

    Where you see your opponents PCI has been incorrect for a couple years. They mentioned it last year.

    They changed it this year to supposedly show your opponent's accurate PCI placement. Whether or not it works I'm not sure but last year every single PCI placement was dead center. This year it is supposed to reflect what your opponents user input.

    How bout they fix forced hangers first. Almost all the runs I’ve given up are off forced hangers. Get that out of here. I have like a 1 whip but half of the hits are bombs off forced hangers.... that’s dumb.

    ICYMI, the opponent PCI displayed on your console is inaccurate.

    Play a few friendly or custom league games and you will see for yourself.

    Sometimes I give up hits tHat I know were bad pci, I agree that sometimes it’s “bad pci” but very good contact

    Meter and it shouldn’t matter. My input should matter not the method I choose for input. If I throw anything other than very late or very early it should never hang. Pinpoint should be the same if not, if you don’t perfect it, then it should possibly hang like the other methods or fix it where only poor feedback causes hangers

    the green area is where the pci is but the yellow and red are either above it slightly and to the left slightly or below it and also to the left.

    it also depends on the location of the pitch as the location of the pitch determines the swing path and the timing window. you will notice on high inside pitches the batters yellow and red areas are aimed towards the opposite field and up the middle so if they were outside the ball with the pci there is still a chance they could get a good piece of it and hit it up the middle or over one of the corner infielders.

    lower inside pitches have a narrow swing path but longer timing window and late and very late usually are foul balls depending on the pitch.

    there is a lot of variables and getting the pci on the ball is only ideal if you are in the good timing otherwise if you think you are going to be late or early then you might want to sit outside the ball or inside depending on your timing habits:

    say you are always early, even on fastballs with righties vs RHP. it would almost be better to have the pci slightly on the inside of the ball and that way you still get good wood on the ball.

    it's not unrealistic it's just not explained properly on SDS part.

    Because the pci doesnt translate to where the bat makes contact at the line, Its the swing path so if your early the bat may square a ball up on the lower ball with the bat swing moving upwards towards the pci the only time a pci shud reflect where the bat hits a ball is when its a perfect hit.

    I wouldn't trust my opponent PCI it's always been controversial whether to have in oppent screen or not so I doubt its very accurate...I'm more concerned when I hit homers on balls in the dirt or over my head even if it's perfect swing this shouldn't be be able thappen for sure haha

    Who ever said that the PCI had to be perfect to hit the ball? It has never been that way. It is just usually an out, but not 100% of the time. Hitting seems good this year. A hitting patch is a scary thought.

    This. The PCI is too powerful imo and it doesn't simulate anything. The problem is that I do not know what they could replace it with. Directional hitting is too weak so most people do not use it.
