Swing Path and Timing Question

[cbyrd13_PSN]

Can someone explain to me how the timing meter can be so radically different from pitch to pitch? There are some inside pitches where the timing meter actually says it wants you to catch the ball late in the swing for "perfect timing." That doesn't make any sense. Also, some of these swing paths are hilariously bad. Some of them are so outside-in that it looks like someone with a broken golf swing that hits nothing but a monster slice. If a baseball player actually had a swing path like that, they would not make their high school team, much less make it to the MLB. I just really don't understand some of the logic that SDS put into this game. It does not really line up with real baseball. Disappointing to say the least.

Are you talking about the red-yellow-green gradient graphic that shows you're bat swinging through the zone after you swing? If so, they're fine unless there's some new glitch because of the recent update?
