How to improve hitting?
-
First time playing The Show in about 5 years. Need some tips to improve hitting, especially for online play since it’s basically the only way to get stubs. Currently using strike zone view.

good job using strike zone view- definitely should stick with that imo. i think the single best mode u can play to get better strictly at hitting is challenge of the week (cotw). this mode greatly encourages plate discipline and allows u to get a feel for every difficulty. it’s also less boring than custom bp and the point system allows u to make goals and track ur progress.

IMO it really depends on how good you are with using a controller. The most successful hitters online are those that have their PCI & Timing on point more times then not. They just know how to move the PCI with ease in time to where the pitch if heading to & as well have enough time to have a Green Metered swing if not Perfect. I myself do not & can not fall within that category regardless how much I try & practice. The dexterity & reflex response within my fingers does not allow me to execute such things properly & efficiently.
I need to rely on Directional Hitting & making sure my Swing Timing is at-least on point. However because it is Directional Hitting, I can not control the hitters bat to ball trajectory because the PC is now randomizing that.
You need to see which method feels most comfortable for you & is currently giving you the best results so far & then just continue to practice at it over & over & over until you begin becoming much better & skilled at at.

I wouldn’t worry about hitting right now. It’s [censored] backwards.

Try timing instead of zone in the hitting interference. Once you get your swing back switch back to zone, or just keep it on timing.

This is a very underrated and good advice, this is why SDS added timing, to help “new” players to get a feel of the timing windows.

If you play online. Get a gaming monitor and modify your controller. Sucks it has to be like that but thats the way it is. Otherwise, you're using a wood bat in a metal bat league. After that, custom practice
