Contact/Normal/Power Swing?
-
I just realized there are 3 swing types LOL
So, I typically press 'X' on PS, which is a 'Normal' swing.
Is everyone who is talking about 'Contact' swing being broken....are they pushing the 'O' button on PS?

Yes, and square would be power swing.

Interesting....I've never thought about the "O' button. Is it better than 'Normal' swing?
(I don't play online, just vs CPU)

I use normal swing 99% of the time. Sometimes I'll use power swing in moments or against the CPU on lower difficulties if I'm trying to hit a homerun since the PCI is already big. Contact swing I'll sometimes use with 2 strikes, or if I'm trying to bloop one in with a contact/speed guy between the infielders and outfielders. I feel like guys like 84 Dee Gordon with good contact and really lower power have a tendency to hit the ball right to the outfielders with normal swing when you square it up.
I think the main issue people have with contact swing is that it's supposed to be like you're fighting off the pitch. If you make contact, it shouldn't have much power behind it even if you square it up. For some reason this year the ball still flies if you square it up with a contact swing, which is an issue in online play since you can basically have a larger PCI and still drive the ball.

Do not use contact swing jajajajaja

Thanks! Appreciate the explanation! I don't play online and I can barely beat the CPU on Veteran LOL...so any help is appreciated!

I win about 10% of the games I play vs the CPU on 'All-Star'....I'd have no shot on HOF!

wtf only 10% against the CPU ?

LOL....might be a little higher. But it's definitely challenging for me LMAO!

lol i think i'd just quit the game at that point

Some people enjoy the game and don't find the need to be great at it. Why are you being needlessly rude to someone who is different and been nothing but kind?

i apologize if it is coming off rude as i don't think the op thought i was as he was laughing..
i guess its just me that i'd get too frustrated and just give up

Fair enough. If OP doesn't care I shouldn't either. Just came off that way to me and was more about your second response than first.

Against the CPU, honestly, get a couple speed guys (Milestone Lofton, Gold Strange-Gordon, Program Ozzie) and play small ball. People freak out about bunt cheese online but I'm an offline player so IMO, all bets are off. I play CPU like I would if I'm coaching my 14 and 15 year old players in a real game

I also play only offline. I use normal swing 99% of the time.
In theory, Contact swing makes the PCI bigger at the cost of power. Power swing makes the PCI smaller and boosts power.
Some online players hate contact swings but you are playing offline only so pay no attention to them.
