    I mean no offense but this seems like an incredibly stupid statement. What is it then? Are you going to imply the PCI doesn't have any bearing on the outcome of the swing lol? Also why don't you go ahead and cite your source on this.

    The PCI is where you are expecting the pitch to go. Sure it has bearing but obviously better cards are going to be able to compensate for PCI being guessed wrong.

    He is correct, PCI is not the bat. As stated in streams it gives you a higher likelihood of making better contact with the ball. Just with anything it's a numbers game in their system. I do not know the numbers behind it but let's say if every condition is met perfectly then a perfect PCI is going to percentage wise net a better outcome than a lower PCI placement. However, that doesn't mean it always will.

    Yep. Kind of like baseball in real life. Of course I know I'm not supposed to say something like that because this is a video game and if your user input is perfect, then you should always hit like a million foot homerun.

    OP failed to mention that the pitch was a hanging slider and the pci was underneath the ball and the swing was just late… resulting in a home run down the line that barely went over the fence.

    Of course. There's never any context provided in these complaint threads. Not all pitches are the same. Not all locations are the same. Therefore not all swing timings are the same.

    I thibk the problem is less that people without many games are telling you about the game. The problem is that people with less games than you know more about it than you. We get it, you think you know everything because of X number of games played but noone cares. The best of the best know you can learn from new people just like you can from experts. Quit being such an arrogant knob

    That still doesn’t change the fact that the entire point of the game is to get the ball as close to the center of the PCI as possible. Why reward someone for the ball being outside of it? I guess I could MAYBE wrap my head around a no PCI HR if it’s like Piazza Vs a common-silver pitcher because the ratings are so skewed; but no PCI HRs vs like Degrom, Hader, Ryan are ridiculous. Like, let’s get real.

    we are not talking no PCI HR's a PCI rating of 9 out of 15 is still good for the likes of 125 ratings for a hitter

    I agree man but just let it go...obviously SDS doesn't care and you can't get anywhere with the weirdos on this forum which wouldn't matter anyway. By the way just for your info no part of the PCI was touching the ball but don't tell the other guys I dont want to upset them.

    I mean you said it perfectly. Maybe SDS did say the PCI isn't the bat, and maybe the ball isn't the ball. Heck I just saw a video where the ball went over the wall a foot foul and they called it a homwrun. Obviously the foul pole isn't the foul pole.

    Just embrace the RNG

    Personally infind it hard to believe that a 9 PCI HR wasn't touching ANY part of the PCI. Maybe if you said 7 or lower if you wanna split hairs. You also only had 3 hits and struck out 13 times so it's not exactly like you were killing the guy and got robbed. A one run lead is never safe.
