    Do these dudes really think their swings are only based on timing in game? Just because you turned your swing feedback off doesn't mean it's not there.

    ...you DON'T use the PCI. I never have, as I find it distracting. I think I'm just old school. However, I am curious who else doesn't.

    Youre OLD SCHOOL and so am I... I've talked with hundreds of people over the years about this very subject alone and it's safe to say that we all know why people who use the PCI use it.. There's no argument there and trust me when I say that those guy will argue which is sad!! If there was a PCI on my broadcast games IRL I'd go back to the radio!! There's no reason why anybody over the age of 25 would adapt to this play style. They're is no satisfaction and I would argue one might not have any self respect for himself or the game if you'd go through an entire offline FRANCHISE season using these options.. If you are using anything other that HOF or LEGEND ( sliders are a given ) you just flat out suck in general!! The game should be played like Chess and there's no room for FLUFF tools with this game being as beautiful as it is... I'm with you and so are ton of others! The PCI is for SCRUBS!!! Hands down..

    You can have fun without the PCI in franchise mode, but for the rest of us, who happen to be more competitive and play against other players, the PCI is a very beneficial option because it makes you more precise. If you look at some of the best players in this game they all use the PCI because it allows the to be precise and not rely entirely on feel.

    This thread is laughable lol

    PCI is fine if you are trying to learn to play the game but once you're good enough then turn it off. Skepple15, are you still trying to learn the game or this is how you normally play? I bet when you play racing game you use T-Cam instead of Cockpit? Or how about when you play Poker you wear shades?. See these are all the sucker's way out, man up and play games properly 🙂

    So just wondering how does it feel to be at the mercy of the cpu and RNG and just have to press x to do everything?? 🤔 hard to do 2 things at once or?...

    Uhh...you can still hit with zone and have the PCI not visible..genius. This sub is just full of idiots that think they're good players, but they chase around a white dot with a cursor. Turn PCI visibility off with zone. F*cking clown.

    I go back and forth but for those who are attacking the original post I take the post that he is still using zone but just turned off the pci. I’m currently playing with my pci on but I know my swing well enough to know when I need to turn it off. If all of a sudden I’m late on pitches and not crushing pitches I should I turn the pci off because I know it’s distracting me. I usually crush the ball for a while like that because I’m focusing only on pitchers release and tracking the ball. After a bit of time doing that I feel a bit lost though and turn it back on to get a better point of reference for where I’m starting my pci. This process keeps me out of prolonged slumps. For those that think they are elite and are bashing people for turning pci off they should try it for a while. This idea that you need to see the pci to hit is crazy. If you have been playing for a while you probably start your pci the same place anyway. You may find you hit better because you can see the ball that much better. I saw it first on YouTube last year and was in slump so I tried it and on my first br run doing it I went 12-0. I thought I discovered the greatest trick in the world but after a while it didn’t work as well so I switch back and forth now depending on how I’m playing.

    Dude, I play on Legend hitting and pitching with pitch speeds maxed with Analog Stride and the only thing I play is Franchise.

    That's like saying the top eSport F1 guys use T-Cam when obviously Cockpit should be used cause its more immersive and realistic. Top players in any game will take the easy way out because it gives them an advantage, why do you think the top players of Counter Strike use a 4:3 monitor at 1280x960? , they can see bigger pixels with the lower resolution.

    I've only been playing Diamond Dynasty for the last couple of years. Before that I was a strict pure analog hitter (and pitcher). I played RTS and franchise, and some conquest and did fine against the CPU even on HOF & Legend. I didn't like the "arcade feel" of moving a PCI and only pressing a button to swing. When I first started to play online (against other people) I tried it with the PCI on and still using the analog just to keep that baseball swing feel. You find out very quick that you are at an extreme disadvantage against real opponents. I've watched countless hitting tips videos and its obvious, the top players use the PCI with button swinging. It takes skill to track the ball with a PCI and time your swing perfectly. I think if you are an offline player, you tend to keep the romance of simulation baseball and can succeed with it. If you play online, and try to compete at a above average level, then you really need to adapt to the best settings for success.

    I don’t care or even know what those games are lmao. Using a pci isn’t the easy way out, you need to put the bat on the ball whether you can see the indicator or not. I’m sorry you can’t keep yourself from getting distracted by the small yellow lines on the screen lmao.

    Wow just wow, once again "This Guy" posts some off the wall trash. "Real men"????? Real men dont sit on their lazy [censored] portraying to be god in a videogame. The game has options for a reason. Real Men realize this because REAL MEN have REAL lives so having REAL time to play the game as you would say,"THE WAY A REAL MAN WOULD PLAY" is just stupid.... Most of us come to the forums to see if there are others who are experiencing similar issues.. we tend to "seek" help and knowledge, NOT to have some little b**ch tell us we aint real men or tell us we aint playing the game to the highest standards..... continue on, playing virtual baseball in mommies basement kid!!!

    This community criticizes and shames others like fire. Ya’ll don’t know how long someone’s played the game? They may not have thousands of hours logged into it like many of us do. If I was new to the game ya’ll would chase my online motivation away. Who gives a f what play style you play? Yes your odds are maxed with PCI and analog, but if you beat me using directional and pulse pitching I’m not going to make any excuses. Remember... next year there’s going to be a much wider audience introduced to the game, let’s be nice to them and not judge mental know it all’s throwing fire at someone’s play style
