    In the previous "Pure Analog Hitting" you had to flick the right analog stick up: Left, Middle, or Right, based on the location of the pitch. The new "Timing Hitting" does not have that requirement.

    Are you sure you had to do that? because the times I messed around with it I never worried about what direction I flicked it, and didnt seem to make a difference.

    Until you reach higher levels, like HOF or Legend, then you would notice it more...

    I use to use it all the time when we had knuckle ballers. Played most on HoF. Never paid attention to flick at a certain direction. Then again never really knew where the KB was gonna be. But it worked.

    Good point.. I remember switching to PA and Retro Cam while trying to hit knuckle ballers in the past, with little better results I think. It may have been just random luck though, in that regard.

    It's because there's flick, which is weird and counterintuitive, or stride, which I use from time to time when my timing is off with buttons, where you go down then up.

    They may have got rid of PA because the right analog stick did not seem very responsive or consistent to user input for the L, C, or R upward direction. I eventually switched to Zone with Analog (instead of buttons) a couple of years ago... which btw, helped with check swinging last year.

    When you move up difficulties with zone the PCI gets smaller thus making hitting more difficult. I’ve noticed when using Timing there’s no PCI in the feedback.

    1 - Are there any changes to the Timing interface as you progress through difficulties?

    2 - If there’s no PCI, what is determining the hit outcomes? Or is it really as simple as just do a good job with Timing your swing?

    3 - I can foul off pitches an excessive amount of times when I combine Contact swing with Timing, how am I supposed to pitch to someone using the same setup?

    4 - Was opponent feedback removed so you couldn’t tell if someone was using Timing/Directional? That’s really a yes or no answer at this point.

    From my own experience, Timing is a simpler version of Directional and has been cheesy with how easy it is and the results I’m getting. The difficulties don’t seem to affect

    I'm genuinely curious? Did timing hurt you in some way? :). This is a crusade you're on haha.

    Kidding aside, as Gucci mentions, would you use timing against a top player? I'm actuly asking.

    Why not? It’s all randomized outcomes so technically if the numbers go in your favor, you could put up a fight at least…with half the skill and effort of those top players. That’s kinda my irritation with an interface like timing. Due to how random this game is, anything can happen.

    Which is what happens when "the PCI does not represent the bat".

    Obviously the PCI has never really looked like bat, but in '15-'17, the center dot of your PCI seemed like the "sweet spot" of your virtual bat. Now, the PCI does not seem to be as important as it used to be... as it is just "the area where the hitter is looking". Whatever that means.

    Are you going to do good if you put the PCI on the ball consistently, yes, you’ll score runs. But for the last 2 years, maybe even back further, you don’t even need to have the ball in the inner PCI to send a jack out of the stadium. It makes no sense, if the goal is to put the inner PCI on the ball, why is the game rewarding you for doing the opposite? No rhyme or reason at this point.

    I also don’t understand the “where the hitter is looking”. I thought I was controlling the hitter and where I look, he looks. So if I look at the wrong spot, why am I sending nukes?

    New to the game, how do you set up timing in your settings? Is it basically analog with no PCI?

    Gameplay settings and scroll through the hitting interface tab until you see Timing. It’s legit this year!!!!
