    It's actually a problem. I know in years past timing/analog was hot garbage, but I just tried it a few games in a row. Your able to just sit back and press circle all day and do just fine. It's almost impossible to strike out this way and you get bloop hits quite easily. I still think zone is better if you are good at it, but this shouldn't be brushed off as "nothing to worry about". Try it out and see for yourself.

    Also, call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever but contact swings are back, pci placement doesn't matter, and timing is a relevant interface online. That's why you don't get swing feedback anymore.

    I’ve been using Timing and Contact swing and having success, it’s cheesy af with half the effort of zone.

    I see it as embracing the gameplay if it’s going to be this way.

    I'm not a fan of the new PCI lock online either. As someone else said it's a crutch.

    The ability to use zone includes your ability to control the PCI.

    Play online rated with regular teams not sure timing would work with the Reds and majority bronze players. I’m a firm believer that a large majority of the games a play against Dodgers people are using timing, but doesn’t seem to work out for them over the course of 9 innings

    My last game with Timing and Contact swing = 14 hits…3 perfect HR’s…won 8-2. Most of those hits were the bloops over the corner infielders and dribblers up the middle.

    It feels very cheesy using it but oh well, makes hitting 10X easier.

    I just tried it and had a lot of foul balls and grounders. I don’t think it’s the best choice to play H2H

    Sounds like good baseball to me.
