Yep time to get rid of circle swing
-
Playstion controller I would presume. I’m on the switch, but I figured it is what he meant
-
It's a contact swing, but what it really is a call for removal cause the caller doesn't know what pitch to throw when someone is purposefully fouling off pitches to extend an at bat.

Many players circle swing in real life. Jeff McNeil does it all the time.
Does he stream himself hitting the circle button?
In real life a batter with 2 strikes that isn’t just swinging for the fences would use circle.
No they would choke up and shorten their swing. Seems a lot harder than switching the button they press to just foul off every pitch every where. But please keep correlating hitting a different button to top level baseball players.
What’s your hitting input method? Analog, buttons? Flick? Stride?

Sheesh I know I haven’t been around in awhile but is this what I used to sound like? This is insufferable lol, at least I was actually good

Lol just no. Circle swing for a player who can’t hit a homerun isn’t getting out of the infield. What’s that exit velo going to be? 30?
Sorry, but I use it with players who use the extreme shift. It increases my chances for that free opposite field double.
Additionally, when using guys like Vizquel, who isn't hitting anything close to a HR gets me better odds at a hit.
You act like it's all or nothing in hitting. It's ok to hit a single.

Circle is the video game version of choking up.
THIS…This is exactly what a contact swing is. I personally use it when I have a runner on 3rd, 2 strikes & less than 2 outs and just need to put the ball in play for the run to score. This is baseball 101.

How many runs did you lose by?
I don’t lose. I’ve told you that. I don’t know how many times you need to try to derail people’s post before they ban you. Maybe you work for them I don’t know but you seem to struggle to stay on a topic.
According to your game log, you lost to the Mud Hens on 4/8, you lost 3-2 and the losing pitcher was Erasmo Ramirez.

OP: Review this entire thread. If you take an objective look, you’ll see that you’re the one being “obtuse.”
You posed a question. However, it doesn’t seem like you really wanted an answer. A couple of people politely answered your question, and you bit their head off. So it appears you weren’t posing a question. No, you were posing a complaint and only wanted people to commiserate with you about a game feature you don’t like.
Relax, man. Don’t let the opponents you play or the people on the forum get you riled up. I’m all for posting your frustrations here; I do it, too. But don’t belittle people and then call them trolls when they respond in kind. It’s unbecoming of a man.

Never heard of the Mid Hens or Erasmo Ramirez my man. Not sure what you’re looking at.

Don’t need an echo chamber. I was sure people using it were going to argue for it for dear life. And nobody said shills shillls. I said to the one guy that is on every critical thread trying to derail them that maybe he works for them because that’s a good business strategy. Not my fault you read that one post and took it that way.

No I laughed at the fake reason on why it was being used. And the always hilarious comparison to real life strategy to a button change. Especially coming from somebody who doesn’t use it.
Then proceeded to be called a moron and whatever other name the guy wanted to call me.
But your synopsis is better if I couldn’t go back and read the thread.

mate just read Maurice's comment - he is bang on - you are still not getting it and sound weirdly defensive
at the end of the day your position about the circle button holds little to no appreciation here on the forum - there is an overwhelming amount of people saying "no dude, you got it wrong" and yet you still stamp your boot heels into the dirt

I don’t care whether it’s a popular opinion on the forum or not. I’m sure a lot of people are using it to foul off pitches so why would it be popular.

in all my years i never used circle but again you are dancing around the main issue - just take it easy my dude, don't worry about [censored] you cannot fix here - there are way bigger problems currently in this game with mini season being broken - co-op being broken - no one cares about the use of circle here
i like your posts too for the most part and i hope you have a great day over there

One respondent stated it perfectly: Circle swing is the equivalent of choking up irl.
That’s it, my man. End of discussion on the purpose of circle swing.
Now, if you want to argue that too many players with low contact and low vision are effective with circle, and that only players like Tony Gwynn and Jeff McNeil should be able to fouls pitches off at a high rate, okay then. That’s a discussion that can take place.
But you’re thrashing about to no purpose, friend.
Best of luck to you, though, I hope you strike out a lot of guys and never have to throw more than five pitches to do it.

Looking at your game log.
You lost on 4/11. You lost 3-0, losing pitcher was Dustin May. He gave up 2 runs over 4 innings and then you brought Bob Gibson in to relieve and he gave up the third run. You were shut out.
