FIX CONTACT SWING!
-
The comments are funny... the developers have acknowledged during their 2nd team affinity stream that they are working on a fix for contact swings as they are not working as intended. Now they did not say exactly what that means... but I have noticed that upwards of 90% of my opponents only contact swing now. I was wondering how they were getting such nasty exit velos on contact swings that weren't even squared out... It does appear that there is little to no velo reduction penalty for using a contact swing... so it pretty much gives you the same exit velo as a normal swing but with a much larger PCI... I started using it in the HOF event right now.... dingers galore... even with guys that don't have much power and playing at low elevation ballparks.... Again, the developers have acknowledged it and are going to make it more inline with the past few years..... but considering they said this weeks ago and they haven't patched anything is telling that they are confused what the exact issue is. 118 exit velo on contact (protect swings) is absurd. There is supposed to be a give and take with each swing type and right now there is no reason to not swing contact unless you want to put yourself at a major disadvantage. I think they should disable contact swings until they sort it out....

Day # 4. FIX THIS GARBAGE
Dude just go play a different game. Seriously, There are so many great games on Playstation. You’d be ALOT happier. This stuff here...It’s just getting weird & creepy.
How on earth is it creepy?
Why do so many people run into any thread criticizing SDS and get offended?
-
The issue is that perfect perfects act the same as normal swings but you can foul off everting until you get good contact.
Even with normal swings it can be an issue but contact swings make it worse. I’ve hit 110 mph exit velo with trout in contact swings…should not happen.
-
I agree that hitting needs to be tuned tremendously. In my opinion it starts with the foul balls, there's far too many opportunities to record an out per AB for the perfect/perfect or good/good swings to go for a free out. At least make a defender take the hit away
There's really only 2 swings in regular baseball, when a guy wants to make contact or he's going for launch angle..
I literally had no idea that's why everyone's PCI was huge. Circle swinging until they fix it, thanks guys.

On the bright side there are a lot of trash players in division and championship series that abuse it. I find even with contact swings they are easy wins. A lot of them still have trash discipline and you can get bad contact just out of the zone.
The issue is when you run into a good player that contact swings the whole game.

Well this just turned me into an elite player because all of my swing-and-misses have turned into foul balls. I can't believe I have been missing this.
I am 3-0 in the event and 2-0 in ranked seasons since making the switch to circle swing(contact)

You’ve won all of 5 games and now your elite?

I love your sarcasm but since you can barley read English, it says I turned myself into an elite player with the contact swing because now all of my swing-and-misses turn to foul balls.
I stated that I won five in a row, but since you care,
I went 12-1 in events yesterday and now I'm rated like 850 in ranked seasons.I am elite now BECAUSE I TURNED ALL MY SWING AND MISSES INTO FOUL BALLS BY JUST USING THE CONTACT SWING.

DAY #12. SDS YOU ARE SLOW AND LAZY

The summer of contact swings is upon us

850 doesn’t make you elite.

Such a clown. The contact swing makes me Elite. I have the record since taking it up that proves the point. This is a simulated baseball experience anyway, so there is really only so good any one human can get..

So you call yourself elite because you contact swing your way through a win streak, and me a clown because I point out the obvious that this hardly makes you elite?
Let me guess, you’re 29-35 and single?

Good hitting from my opponent I guess… contact swing is the new bail out…
he dashboarded my walkoff double btw…

@buddyhightower_xbl said in FIX CONTACT SWING!:
You guys are full of it. I ran my tests last night and contact swing sux.
Even on legend difficulty the PCI is no bigger than a normal swing and I didn't get a single hit using it.
I went back to normal and power swing and was crushing it.Did you try it in ranked seasons [censored] cheese?

I was 974 last season without contact swinging and I don't consider myself elite. Elite is people like pitching_rebel. CS you are a very good player unless you are taking advantage of a broken game mechanic to get there. Looks to me without the broken game mechanic you are a 500 rated player with really good cards. Nothing wrong with being a 500 rated player but far from elite.
