The Contact Swing Conspiracy is Real
-
The home runs are only part of the problem. I was playing an event game the other day where my opponent would use contact swing and foul off every off-speed pitch in the dirt or slider that's far inside. Then once I actually put the ball in the zone it was an easy hit. This shouldn't be the case - it can't just be a tennis racket bailout every time you fall behind in the count. There's no skill involved.
Glad it's supposedly going to be addressed because this has gone on for too long.

This right here!! I had a guy spamming contact swings. I started putting curveballs in the dirt and he still fouled them off until my relief pitcher got down to red and was only on his second batter. Eventually your pitcher puts one right down the middle once they get that low energy and you better believe he smashed a homer 320 feet to right field. Lol

Well they acknowledged the problem and said it was going to be addressed in the 2nd inning stream. Still nothing done, so don't get your hopes up.

Played a few games of conquest at hall of fame difficulty and even the cpu spams contact swings for homeruns.
If you are on HoF the cpu will have VET size pci

I mean, imagine using Contact swing. Guaranteed these kids sub to Jake Paul, hold R2 religiously and wish they had a coach plush doll

You can definitely tell when someone is doing nothing but contact swings...wish they could find a balance...in past games contact swing was useless...now it's completley overpowered

And it's ridiculous.
I have only used contact in 0-2 counts in the past, but in an event game, I just hit one 450 ft with Anthony Santander.
I can't imagine the number of HR's I've given up via contact swing.
They aren't going to fix it, so might as well use it.What year was the infamous "everything I hit hangs in the air as if I was playing on the moon"?
Contact swinging is useless in CPU. For players like Johnny Damon or Kenny Lofton who specifically have "CONTACT" under their card, they suck at it. But good results for power swinging. Not sure how that happens.

I’m playing against one of these weirdos

Crazy how yall swear batters just trying to make "contact" haven't went yard doing so irl give it up gitgud
-
They need to make it were power hitters you have to hit the square power swing for HR's, doubles,hits. Doing contact swing with power hitters will basically do nothing. guys like Betts with some pop but also good contact normal swing and guys like Kenny Lofton need to swing with contac to get hits etc
