Contact Swing has Ruined the Game
-
I can handle a few curve balls in the dirt being fouled off, but hitting 450ft bombs with the big red wiffle bat?
How do I know?
Because I hit one in an 0-2 count with Michael Brantley.
Ridiculous.
Isn't contact swing supposed to reduce power by 60%?
Pre championship series games literally play like early Nintendo RBI Baseball.
This, in my opinion, is the worst version of the game I have ever played. -
There isn’t much more annoying then when you get a guy check swinging with impunity or down 0-2 in the count and will contact check swing and foul off balls within a 6 foot radius of the plate for 20 pitches knowing the game will eventually make you hang one over the middle and BANG….. this game could be so good, but SDS can’t get out of their own way.

If contact swing is so powerful try using it on your way to World Series in ranked.

Not enough foul balls…those that play offline…the online crowd destroyed 23 because they got emotional about too many foul balls. Now pitching even on legend is too easy because of it 14-18 ks a game. Scea caved into the online community ruined it for offline gamers. 22 was not like this.

I’m at a loss for this one. If you are striking out that many times against the cpu on legend, you shouldn’t be playing that difficulty.
Pitching took a big turn backwards this year and there are still way too many foul balls and check swings.

I've tried that in years past and it worked just fine. OP is right, contact swing is way too powerful.
-
I’m skeptical this is an actual problem. My first thought is if your not confident enough with your PCI to use normal swing your probably not good enough for me to worry about the size of your PCI

Dude really thought he said something but he just wrote words.

You should try it in this years game.

Why does that matter? He has played enough and at a high level, pretty sure he knows what he is talking about.
You trolls tell people not to play if they don't like it. Well, he isn't playing. For me, I could give a [censored] about $100.

Exactly. I bet he complains about directional hitting too

If that's true, then they were wrong to set it up that way to begin with. Most players swing with all of their power. You rarely see a player try to overswing. When you do, it's awkward and they usually fall out of their stance.
This might sound dumb and over the top, but I'd say a normal swing is 100%, while an attempted power swing is 120%, but your PCI drops in size 75% and your swing radius cuts in half.
That's how it should be. Try it in real life

Is it? Can you teach me how to hit anything but groundballs with it then

This, in my opinion, is the worst version of the game I have ever played.Was it a fastball? Because if you make solid contact with a fastball thrown down the middle, on a 0-2 pitch (which is never a good idea) the pitcher supplies the power to a controlled, well-timed contact swing. The ball can definitely fly over the fence in that instance.

It would not be a season of MLB the Show unless we get several posts complaining about how contact hitting and timing swings are ruining the game and giving people an unfair advantage.

I did not mean to insinuate the use of those two features together. Just that every year, several times a year, people will complain about how either contact swinging or timing swings are too good and give people an advantage.
It's a constant on the forums.

Man, I loved RBI baseball. Time to fire up nesticle on the old Windows XP laptop and play with those beautiful, beautiful Mets. Might even have to fire up “Glory Days” by the Boss while I do so….not that it’s necessary because I’m living it! Just call me Uncle Rico

You could also download the new ones from the Microsoft/PS store
(Or just play retro mode, its virtually the same game)
